FUN night at Marchwood…

An awesome night at Marchwood Tavern. We always have a good crowd there- and I don't mean just the size but the energy as well- and last night was probably the best we've ever had there. Such enthusiasm all night long whether it was people singing along with every song, dancing in their seats and/or on the dance floor, and even group hug/dances (like a mosh pit with hugging instead of pummeling). And it started from the very first note. Well, maybe that's exaggerating a bit but it was from the first song and lasted all night.

As usual we played past curfew as the crowd wanted more and we obliged with two encores. We had to call it a night then so the Marchwood crew could finish their night and go home.

We had so much fun ourselves and we owe it to our good friends and fans who were there as well as those who were "newbies" to Breaking Curfew. We feed off the positive vibes.

Next up is a return to Cabana Bar on Saturday August 26th. (Hey that's next Saturday!) We keep jammin' almost every week. Hope to see you there. In the meantime be safe and healthy and be kind to yourself and others.

Rocked the Hotel…

At Hotel Fiesole this past Saturday night we did what we do- rock the house. And the crowd loved every second. So many singing along and we had dancers- including some very energetic ones- most of the night. As always a lot of familiar faces but some new ones as well who found out what Breaking Curfew is all about. We love playing at the Hotel- such a great space for live music. We're back on November 18th so mark that date on your calendar.

Thanks to Jay for inviting us to play and Cooper for manning the bar all night and keeping everyone's thirst quenched.

We keep on rockin' and this Saturday, August 19th, it's at Marchwood Tavern in Exton. That party starts at 9pm.

Crushed it at Big Phil’s…

Our second gig at Big Phil's Bar and Grill was even better than our first- and that's saying something. Our sets were full of good, rockin' classic rock tunes that had everybody singing and dancing in their seats all night long. Everybody was having fun and that's the way we love it. This is truly a great venue- great food, drink, and service and we added the live music. What more could you ask for?

We hope to return next year; we'll see what we can do but it's clear Phil and the gang want us back.

Speaking of Phil and the gang we can't thank them enough for their wonderful hospitality. They couldn't have done anything more to make our evening a success.

Next Saturday, August 12th, is Hotel Fiesole. We're excited to return there as well. Music starts at 8pm. See you there.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and keep on rockin'.

Awesome night at Cabana Bar…

What a blast at Cabana Bar (Basta Pasta) last night. The weather was ideal and the place was packed until the very end. As is usually the case we honored a few requests for encores- we weren't leaving if nobody else was.

There were so many fans and friends of the band and we love how much fun they have at our gigs. There were plenty of other folks too who were digging our tunes. Hopefully they become fans as well. The place was hopping and people were singing to and dancing along with so many of our songs. It is also so gratifying that when at the end of the night so many people stop and tell us how much they enjoyed our music. We thank all of you for your support.

Thanks of course to Cabana Bar for inviting us to play. We return on August 26th.

We have one more vacation this coming week. We resume gigging on August 5th at Big Phil's. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and keep on rockin.'

Back to Cabana Bar…

So we're back at it again tomorrow at one of our very favorite venues: Cabana Bar in Skippack. We love outdoor gigs and this one is always a blast with folks hanging out all over including the parking lot. (Don't forget your lawn chairs!) So let's all hope for good weather and we'll have a party like we always do.

Swept the doubleheader…

So we made it through our doubleheader- and it was a great day/night.

The 1st annual Eagleville Taphouse Car Show was a great success. There were dozens of really cool cars that all of us were gawking at. Not sure what some of those car owners do for a living...but lucky them. We were happy to provide the musical backdrop to the event and managed to survive the heat and the intermittent showers. Kudos to Corey and Dom for putting together the event and thanks to them for inviting us to be a part of it.

The night gig at Hattricks was a great way to end the day. We were inside the bar where it was nice and cool- a dramatic change from the heat outside in the afternoon. As usual we brought a sizable contingent of Breaking Curfew fans and there were some new ones as well. Some folks who saw us at the Car Show liked us so much they came out to Hattricks and rocked with us there too! Thanks to Bob and Lauren who worked hard all night keeping the party going with good food and drinks.

Overall it was a great day for us and we had fun playing for so many different people over the course of 7 hours. When it was over though we promised ourselves never to do that again...well never say never.

Next gig is Friday, July 21st, at Cabana Bar- another of our favorite venues. Music starts at 7pm and don't forget to bring your lawn chairs. Let's hope for a rain-free evening.

Until we see you again be safe and healthy and keep on rockin'.

Back at it with a vengeance…

Hey folks- vacations are over for now and it's back to business for us. No more lying around in the sun. We're rarin' to jam out again and see all of your smiling faces. We pick it back up this Saturday July 15th with a true doubleheader. That's right- 2 gigs in one day/night. First up it's The Eagleville Taphouse for their first annual car show. If you like cool cars of all makes, models, and vintages and awesome classic rock music then that's the place to be from 11 am to 3pm. We play from noon to 3pm. After a couple hour break we head to Hatfield for a return to Hattricks which promises to be a great party. The music starts at 8pm and goes until midnight. (And Sunday we rest.) Hope to see you all at one or the other (or both) so make your plans now.

June schedule is history…

And so our June schedule ends after our gig at The Dutch last night. Not the usual Dutch crowd (I guess it's summer vacation season already) but those who were there were treated to our usual mix of great classic rock tunes. We thank everyone who come out and had a good time with us and we thank The Dutch for inviting us to play. We'll be back there October 14th.

Now it's hiatus time. We'll be back in business on July 15th with a literal double header: Eagleville Taphouse (Car Show) at noon and Hattricks at 8pm. We can't wait- should be a fun day/night.

In the meantime be good to each other and be safe and healthy. And, of course, keep om rockin’.

Back to The Dutch tonight…

It's hard to believe it's the middle of June. We've almost reached the halfway point of 2023. For the band it's been a great 6 months: we've played out almost every weekend and have had successful debuts at 4 new venues for us as well as multiple opportunities to play at many of our favorite venues. All the while we've enjoyed seeing so many of our friends and fans. Equally satisfying is meeting new people and making new fans at every gig. We love what we do and we can't overstate how much we appreciate the support.

Our final gig for the month of June is today Saturday, June 17th, at The Dutch Cottage Tavern. The Dutch has always been a great venue and we've always had a blast there. This Saturday will be no different. The party starts at 8pm.

After today we are off for a few weeks- vacations, etc. We pick things back up in July and the second half of the year will be as busy and awesome as the first half.

Big Phil’s is located at 351 East Schuylkill Road, Pottstown, PA. (What used to be the Coventry Mall.)

Tom’s hosted a celebration…

From time to time at our gigs we are fortunate to be a part of a celebration of a major life event, most often a birthday, anniversary, etc. However, recently we've been on a run of retirement celebrations (I guess that says something about our ages. lol) This was the case last night at Tom's as one of Rich's US Postal Service buddies, Steve, joined the lucky group of retirees. (Although, in the quip of the night, Tub reminded him: "The bad thing about retirement is that there are no days off!) Many of Steve's friends were there to wish him well and to drink a few (!) in appreciation of his dedicated service. Photos of the occasion are already posted on this page.

Overall, it was a fun night as there were also many other friends of the band and Tom's regulars who partied the night away accompanied by our classic rock covers. It's always a blast at Tom's. Thanks again Anthony for inviting us to jam there.

Next Saturday is another new venue for us: Big Phil's. We are excited about showing Big Phil's what Breaking Curfew is all about. That party starts at 8pm.

Great debut at Timothy’s…

Our debut at Timothy's in Exton was awesome. We had so many friends of the band rocking along with us as well as a lot of Timothy's regulars. We broke out some new (for us) tunes and played a lot of everyone's favorites as well. And, as is always the case, we had most of the place singing and/or dancing all night long.

We must say Timothy's is a great place for bands (plenty of space) and a great place to hear live music. The food is extra delicious and the beverages are thirst quenching and delicious. We also appreciated the support we received all night.

Thanks to Sarah and Rochelle (who was dancing and singing while tending bar all night!) who made our debut there possible. We're going to work on a return gig if we can find a date that works for both of us.

Tonight (Saturday) we return to one of our very favorite venues: Tom's in Royersford. That party starts at 8pm.

Local Tap to close out May schedule…

Awesome debut at Eagleville Taphouse…

Our debut at Eagleville Taphouse went spectacularly. Great crowd made up of old friends of the band as well as people new to the band. One common denominator was everyone loved the music. The best part was that all the pent up energy to dance finally exploded and we had great dancers at the end of the night. So many people having fun- it became contagious.

Thanks to Corey for inviting us to play. There was some talk about having us return, perhaps in the summer, if we can find an opening in our schedule. We'd love to go back.

A special thanks too to the great staff at Eagleville Taphouse who kept everyone there well hydrated and well fed. All the food going by us looked sooo delicious we were tempted to grab some off the plates.

So thanks again to all those who came and enjoyed the night with us. We appreciated your support and your positive feedback. We hope to see you again soon.

Next week we're at the Local tap in Lansdale. Party starts at 7 30pm.

Check out the rest of our schedule here on our website.

In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, be kind, and keep on rockin'.

So good to be back at Cabana Bar…

Cabana Bar was our first outdoor gig (we love playing outside) this year and the weather gods were good to us last night... it was not as cold as we thought it might be and the rain showers held off until just about 10pm (which was our curfew.) We ended up playing straight through our 2nd set into our 3rd set as we had a great crowd that showed no signs of succumbing to the cool night air. As usual people were singing and dancing in their seats. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with some cool specialty drinks and also celebrated a couple birthdays of good fans of the band.

Thanks to Steph at Cabana Bar for inviting us to play again this summer (we have 3 more dates there) and thanks to Pam and her crew for all their help and support throughout the night.

We return to Cabana Bar on July 21st.

Tonight we hit the stage at Great Barn Taphouse. Music starts at 8pm.

For the rest of our 2023 schedule please visit our schedule page.

Until we see you again, stay safe and healthy and keep on rockin'.

Back to back weekend…

Well folks, after a weekend off we have a double header coming up this weekend. Friday night, which is both Cinco de Mayo AND First Friday in Skippack we return to Cabana Bar to start our summer series there. This is a great outdoor venue and it looks like the weather will cooperate (though a little on the cool side.) Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs because the place will be packed but there’s plenty of room in the parking lot. Starting time is 7pm.

We follow that gig up with our return to The Great Barn Taphouse on Saturday night. This is a cool venue too with plenty of space for dancing. Oh yeah, they have great craft beers and delicious food too. We start at 8pm.

Double the chances to hear great classic rock tunes and party with all your friends.

“Can You See The Rain?”…

Yes we can and we did…Those who braved the heavy rains- and there were many of you- and came out to Marchwood Tavern last night treated yourselves to a great party. I'm typically a modest guy but I have to say we smoked it all night- we played song after song that had people dancing, singing, and just having a great time. It got crazier- in a good way- as the night went on and more people joined in the fun.

We've said it before, there are great people at Marchwood and they know how to party and have a good time. We're glad to be apart of it.

Much thanks to the Marchwood crew who helped clear the space where we played and who kept the food and drinks coming at a rapid rate. It was all good.

We're back at Marchwood on August 19th so please mark your calendars.

Next weekend is our first weekend off in 6 weeks but we pick things up with full May and June schedules. Check out where we 'll be on our our Schedule page.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy, be kind, and keep on rockin'.
