3/08/2009: Toad's Place was jumping this morning with over 1400 runners participating in the 12th Annual WPLR ShamRock & Roll in New Haven, CT. ALL IN took the stage at 8:15am, after having played a full bar gig the night before AND the clocks being set ahead for daylight savings. OUCH!! On 2 hours of sleep, ALL IN kept Toad's Place hoppin' for the better part of 2 hours. We made alot of new friends and we hope to catch you guys at an upcoming show. Great job today by Toad's sound man, Chad, and by the entire staff of WPLR.
2/17/2009: The boys are pumped after being asked to headline the pre and post-race festivities at the 12th Annual WPLR ShamRock & Roll 5k Road Race at the legendary Toad's Place, 300 York Street in New Haven, CT on Sunday morning March 8th. ALL IN takes the stage at Toad's at 8:30am to get the 1,000+ runners amped up for the 9:00 start. Following the race, we return to the stage for 2 more sets to end the day on a high note. There's plenty of food & drinks available afterwards at Toad's, so come on down and check things out! www.wplr.com/event_guide/shamrock-and-roll-v2.html
2/16/2009: The boys are STILL defrosting from our outdoor show at the Lake Quassy Penguin Plunge yesterday. But we wouldn't have it any other way, as we were ALL IN for volunteering our time to help raise money for the Special Olympics of CT. Over 400 participants braved the icy water to raise over $90k for our special olympians. The costumes were awesome and the energy level was through the roof. ALL IN played for 90 minutes in the biting cold and helped whip the "plungers" into a last minute frenzy! Thanks to EVERYONE who helped make this event such a tremendous success!!!!!! www.soct.org
2/08/2009: Well, the Hitchin' Post show went exactly as expected last night...a great time complete with several crazies dancing on the bar. If you haven't been to the Post, you're missing a FUN time. We'll see everyone back out there on April 4th.
2/07/2009: SHOW ALERT!! ALL IN is pleased to announce a new show at Spectators Sport's Bar & Grill, located at 703 Campbell Ave in West Haven. This will be the ALL IN Band's first show in the New Haven area and we hope to make a bunch of new friends there. The word is that Spectators fields a nice menu, so come on down for dinner and stay for our 9:30pm show. See you there!
1/10/2009: Well, well, well; interesting show last night to say the least. 3/4 of the band was under the weather with various illnesses last night...and I'm not talking about the normal sickness in our heads! Jeff was jacked up with a stiff back as Scott & Sal were dealing with bad head colds & sore throats. I think we went through 2 bags of throat lozenges! At times, I think I sounded like Peter Brady singing "When it's time to change, " but somehow we soldiered through the night and everyone had a good time nonetheless. Our Legends' friend, Paul, really livened things up once he arrived! See you next time, buddy.
1/09/2009: Hey Fans, we're happy to announce a newly added show to our January calendar. On Friday night January 23rd, ALL IN takes the stage at Gilo's Cafe' in East Hartford, CT (link below). This will be our first appearance there and we look forward to rockin' the joint and making some new friends. Gilo's sports a full menu, so start your evening off with dinner and stay on for a full night of great rock & roll! See you there. www.giloscafe.com
1/04/2009: WOW!! Needless to say, mission accomplished at the Cambridge Brew House last night. The place was ROCKIN' from start to finish and it looks like we made ourselves a bunch of new friends! If you haven't been to the Brew House, you gotta' get there; the place is gorgeous inside with several tapped beers and GREAT food to be had (make sure you visit them on-line at the link below). Thanks again to Steve and his staff for being dynamite hosts and we look forward to doing it again soon. www.cbhbrew.com/torrington
1/01/2009: HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2009 continues to take shape as a V-E-R-Y busy year for ALL IN. We're proud to announce the addition of the City of Torrington 4th of July fireworks celebration to our calendar.

In addition to shows already on the calendar, we just signed on for 6 dates out at the Hitchin' Post Tavern in Durham, CT. Did someone say "dancing on top of the bar"?! Make it a point to take in a show there and party down Hitchin' Post style. www.hitchinposttavern.com
