A Days Wait’s latest release, “Pinky Swear,” is a light, sunny track, bringing summer vibes to the cold of winter.
A Days Wait is a duo from Hamilton, Ontario Canada, who has been making music together since high school. They started this project about a year ago, in early 2020, amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Written by A Days Wait and produced by Day Wave, the duo is pledging to donate any proceeds to charity.
The song has a light, breezy energy. The relaxed soundscape is warm and encompassing; it feels like a mid-afternoon summer breeze on the beach.
“This song is about the hang ups, anxieties and challenges that everyone has to work through and the joy that lives on the other side,” said A Days Wait. “It’s about supporting the people around us with optimism.”

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
