The Calm After the Storm

Happy New Year!!

It's a new year. The Christmas rush is over, though some of us are still celebrating the holiday with friends that we didn't have time to see before now. And it's a time to rest and regroup, reflect on the year past and look ahead at all we have to look forward to.

2025, especially the last four months, was a wonderfully busy year for us. We are so grateful to all who came out to see us as well as all the places that gave us the opportunity to play!

Now, it's a bit of a quiet time for us. At least as I type this, it is. Things have a tendency to change in a hurry. After playing almost a gig a week since mid-September, we have a little down time.

But we won't be idle between now and our next public appearance. There are new songs to learn and old ones that we haven't played in years that need to be taken out and polished up. There's always something going on behind the scenes that will (hopefully) make us even better next time you see us.

So far we don't have anything on the books for January or February, but as I said that can change and of course we'll let you know if/when it does. You can check our schedule page here on the website or subscribe to our email newsletter* to get updates on our schedule or anything else happening with Crossmolina Band.

*At the bottom of the website home page there's a spot where you can put your email address and click "join our mailing list now" to subscribe. Or you can send us a message via the "contact" page about this or anything else. We really do love to hear from y'all!

And check out the two Christmas videos we've got links to on the home page.

Wishing everyone all the best for 2026 and beyond!
