Happy Holidays Folks! :) Drummer Rich here, letting you know The CAG's playing Stubrik's Steakhouse in Downtown Fullerton TONIGHT at 10! Hope you can come see us because it will be my last Friday night Stubrik's show with the band. (For awhile at least.) I've been offered a full-time position with the band Eclipse, performing mainly in casinos, 4-6 nights a week. It's bittersweet news to share because while I'm REALLY excited to be working full-time in a new band, I have to say good-bye to The Chris Anderson Group of which I've been a part of since its inception 11 years ago. Chris and Mike have not only been amazing bandmates, but like brothers as well. I'd like to thank you for all for your support these past 11 years, it's been such an awesome experience! :) I'll be performing with The CAG during our BIG New Year's Weekend and a few dates in January as well! All of our upcoming shows for the rest of 2012 are listed below. :) Thanks aga...
