56 Hope Road would like to send big thanks to Casey Fitzpatrick, our good friend and saxophone player for his 2+ years of great music made with our band and bid him farewell as he departs from the full-time touring line up. Casey Fitzpatrick appeared on 56's fourth and latest album "Law of Attraction" and numerous live recordings logging close to 500 live performances with the band.
Casey is set to appear with the band on select tour dates and 56 Hope Road's 10th Anniversary Spectacular, August 14, 2009 at the Double Door in Chicago, IL which will feature the family of outstanding musicians involved with 56 Hope Road throughout the last decade.
We had many fond memories and shows together. Your sound and presence will be missed by the band and the fans.
With love and respect,
Dave, Greg and Chad
56 Hope Road
