To all the fans, family and friends of Wicked Cricket,

I would like to send out a big thank you to everyone who has supported Wicked Cricket through out the years. Since its conception in 1989, the band has always been committed to giving 100% at all of the shows and remaining close to its fans. I really enjoyed those years at Keegans Pub singing all of our favorite hard rock songs, and always being treated with the utmost respect from Bob Keegan himself. As with all things, times change, people change and somehow that tends to make us lose touch with each other. I know some changes I had made through out my career with Wicked Cricket were not always widely accepted by everyone but sometimes you have to follow your instincts even if others feel you are wrong. The band has seen a few line up changes over the last twenty years and I really have enjoyed playing with them all and hope that all of them have continued success in the business. With that being said, Wicked Cricket will be doing four more shows at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City and than that will close the book on the band. As for me, well I’m not done yet. I just put together a nine piece Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet tribute band which you can see and hear at www.hollywoodnightsband.com  The band will be doing mostly theatre work along with some outdoor festivals and some casinos. The band sounds great and I am sure you all will dig it. Again, thank you all for your support over the years and hope to see you all in the future.

Sincerely,

Rick Murphy
