Hi Everyone! 

When I was in high school, I wrote a song for my senior class called Graduation Day. Nothing ever came of the song, but I was recently inspired by my son graduating that I wrote another "Graduation Day". And now, because it's the future, I can share this song with all of you. Congratulations to all of you who have graduated, and please pass along to anyone you know that is graduating! You can download it for free in the store!

-B. 

Graduation Day

Look at you now boy 
You sure know how boy 
Spread those wings and fly away 

Look at you go now 
You're on a roll now 
This world is yours to take 
It's Graduation Day 

Lift your sails high tonight 
The wind won't fail tonight 
It'll get you far from this place 

Give 'er hell son 
You'll do well son 
In every game that  you play 
It's Graduation Day 

Over that mountain, out on that great big ocean 
Something is calling out your name 

Say goodbye, no one would dare to try 
To ever make you want to stay 
It's Graduation Day 

Go out and take it son 
You're gonna make it son 
Pick a target and take aim 

Take all your faith boy 
You cannot wait boy 
Fly away 
It's Graduation Day

SATURDAY APRIL 6th at BUNKER'S, MINNEAPOLIS 

Saturday, April 6th will be the 2nd Chance release party at Bunker's Bar and Grill in Minneapolis! Full band rock! There will not be ticket pre-sales for this show. 

IMPORTANT: 

Please plan on ride share options such as Uber/Lyft, etc. The NCAA is in town the same weekend. Hotel rooms are filling up and rideshare may be difficult. You can pre-schedule your Uber and Lyft rides. We suggest to do that now so you won't have any issues on 4/5 and 4/6. Parking will be limited for both nights as well. If making a night or weekend of it, book hotel rooms early too! 

We can't wait to celebrate 

2nd Chance with you!

When we started the 2nd Chance Kickstarter campaign 45 days ago, never in our wildest dreams did we think we would make our goal in 24 hours. The pledges, the kind words, and the continued encouragement has meant the world and keeps us going. Take a second to watch the video message from Brian below! 

The Kickstarter campaign ends tonight at 11pm. There’s still time to make a pledge. There’s some really awesome packages left. Additional funds will go to the promotion of 2nd Chance, incidental expenses, and any unforeseen overages we may not have counted on.

The next steps start now! We will be reaching out to pledgers in the coming weeks to get your details and to keep you posted on the progress and the plans for the release party and meet & greet. We hope that you will continue to follow along during this journey. 

Thank you for being a fan. We can’t wait to get the new songs in your hands! 

THANK YOU!

Brian is making his way to Nashville November 7-10th.

Make plans to come see Brian at Baily's!
