Hey Hey In Rockers and Welcome to The Lobby once again here in the pages of The Mighty InRock! The Fall is upon us, weather’s cooling off and the holidays are in sight as we head towards a New Year of opportunities and excitement! Thanks for checking in, all sorts of good things are happening here in Buffalo and NYC ....?but first let’s get to an exciting performance you all can check out online with Goo Goo Dolls doing the legendary NPR Tiny Desk concert series in Washington, DC. The Tiny Desk Series is shot in the actual offices of NPR/PBS in a small corner of the office just a tiny little setup behind a tiny desk…..but it’s been done by everyone from Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin to the Jonas Brothers. It’s a chance to hear what a band actually sounds like, no backing tracks, no rever, actually no PA system, it’s really a special program and we were honored to be invited to join their roster of amazing artists. Our chance to get behind the tiny desk was aired November 19th and can be seen at PBS.org. We did Iris, Slide and a couple others, check it out if you like., pretty cool stuff.
GGDS also got a chance to raise some money for the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation in NYC, Joe Torre is a legendary baseball player/coach/manager in the Major League hall of fame and a really great guy. He and his wife have put together a great organization helping folks struggling with abusive situations and we have been honored to be able to help them raise funds throughout the years. This time we did 2 shows at The Beacon Theatre in NYC and raised a whole bunch of money to help them out with their mission. We got to hear some great stories about old school baseball, have a hang with Joe and make some music in one of the best sounding rooms on the planet! Win/win!

Shortly after that we performed a pair of shows in Buffalo, NY to help out Feedmore Western New York here in our hometown, it’s a food pantry that provides food items for those in need in our community. We performed in a small club which held only 1000 people, a pretty intimate setting after selling 1,000 tickets in Buffalo just a couple of months prior. The shows went off without a hitch and the ever so generous Western New Yorkers showed up big time, in the end we raised over $150,000 for the food bank and having an amazing time playing to our hometown crowd.

We’ll be headed back in the studio this month for some more recording, new songs on the way, more touring next year…. Actually, lots more touring next year….. keep your eyes on this space for more info and thanks again for checking in on us here in the Lobby ….

Peace …
