FREE show @ UNH This Thursday / John’s Last Show
On this Thursday, May 2nd, John Ross will play his last show on the drums with us. Since joining the band, he has poured his heart and soul into all things Hostage Calm. From touring tirelessly with the band, to flawlessly live-recording Please Remain Calm, John has gone above and beyond. And though a fantastic drummer, he was an even better bandmate. Sadly, his run with Hostage Calm has come to an amicable end.. We love him dearly and wish him well on his future endeavors.
John deserves a wonderful send-off, in front of the Connecticut crowd that has been the lifesource of this band. Please spread the word and join us for Thursday’s FREE show at University of New Haven. We’ll see you all there.
Here’s a great pic of John
