I recently learned the masking tape I put on some of our Glad Hearts Elephant T shirts to mark their size may have left a small amount of residue on some of the shirts when removed. If this happened to your shirt, I am very sorry!
Please email or call me, and I will correct the situation.
Thanks, as always, for your support.
Best Wishes,
Ryan Bing

Thanksgiving Update
Hello Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and getting ready for a happy Thanksgiving and holiday time! Here's what's new with us:
New Shows
------------------------------------------
We had planned on taking it easy on shows to write the next record over the winter, but a bunch of people invited us to play, and we hate to turn down a show, so here we go!
Please note two of these are benefit shows for local food banks, and donations of food and money to feed the hungry will be very gratefully accepted at these shows. We are very happy to be a part of these shows and hope you will be able to join us to have some fun for a great cause.
Sat, Nov 28: The Brighton Bar - Long Branch, NJ
Fri, Dec 4: Arthouse - New Brunswick, NJ
Sat, Dec 5: The Iron Monkey - Jersey City, NJ*
Sat, Dec 12: Food Overdrive Benefit Show at The Spot - Wilmington, DE
Sat, Jan 2: Pantry Party Food Benefit Show at The Wayne Firehouse - Wayne, NJ
*Please note the new start time for this show (10pm)
More info: Glad-Hearts.com/shows
UNICEF Benefit
------------------------------------------
In observance of the holiday season, we will be donating $1 from every Glad Hearts CD sold between now and New Year's Day to UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. If you would like to support UNICEF directly, you can do that most efficently at their web site. If you've been meaning to get a Glad Hearts CD, but haven't got around to it yet, here's your chance to do that and help others at the same time at our website:
Glad-Hearts.com/store
Thanks for listening!
Cheers,
Ryan and Glad Hearts

Reviews
---------------------------------
Here's one of the very kind things people have said about The Oak and the Acorn in the past few weeks.
"Masterful percussion and lively guitar riffs on tracks such as "West Fast Enough" and "We'll Need Our Blood," as well as the anthemic indie folk chanting of "Tinderbox," will make you an instant fan." -Nereida Fernandes, Exclaim!
You can see a bunch more reviews here: Glad-Hearts.com/reviews

July in the Glad Heartland
It's been an exciting start to summer for us, and we are looking forward to the rest of it! Here's what's new with us:
-----------------------------
News
-----------------------------
June tour was amazing! Thank you very much to everyone who helped us out along the way. We had a great time, got to play with a ton of cool bands, and met a lot of people along the way. I kept a tour journal and took photos, and I'll post those to our blog later this summer.
------------------------------
Upcoming Shows
------------------------------
For July, we only have two shows for the whole month, and they're both this coming weekend! We'll be doing one in New Brunswick, as part of coLab's Breakthrough Arts Fest, then driving down to Baltimore for a relaxed Sunday afternoon show at The Waterfront Hotel, a lounge, restaurant, and bar (though not an actual hotel).
In a very special one-of-a-kind event, John will also be playing singing saw in the International Musical Saw Festival in New York City on Saturday, 18 July. He'll be playing in a chorus of singing saws in an attempt to set the Guinness Book World Record for most singing saws ever played together at the same time. We're pretty sure he'll be able to parlay this into at least one free Guinness in every bar he ever goes into for the rest of his life, so please come out to support him and enjoy some really awesome saw playing.
Here's more information on our shows:
Saturday, 11 July
coLab Breakthrough Arts Fest
The George Street Playhouse
9 Livingston Ave
New Brunswick, NJ
Get advance tickets here
$6; 7pm; all ages
Sunday, 12 July
