Hey Hey In Rockers and welcome to the lobby for a holiday leaning update here from the snowy streets of Buffalo, NY! Hope you are all having a great holiday season, we’ve been busy here at our home getting ready for the holidays and preparing for a new year here as the final moments of 2025 comes to a close. School’s out and my daughter Hana and my wife Miyoko and our little Shih Tzu Luna are excited to spend the holidays together here at home!
Goo Goo Dolls had a busy December doing a Christmas show with satellite radio station Sirius XM’s Pop Rocks at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, it was a great show for listeners and winners alike! We performed with our friends Rob Thomas and Lisa Loeb and started the holidays off right! It was great to see them, Rob has been in and out of our lives often, having dome tours over the last few years with Matchbox 20 in the US and Australia, always great to catch up with him.
Lisa Loeb opened an entire for Goo Goo Dolls in the late 90s doing a string of college dates with us, it was just Lisa and her acoustic guitar every night in front of thousands of hopped up GGDS fans, she is very brave and super talented for sure. It was great to get to catch up with both Lisa and Rob, we ven did an interview with Lisa for her radio show on Sirius! As I mentioned, a great way to start the holidays, and a great chance to get to NYC and experience the magic that city has during Christmas time! If you hop over to You Tube you can find a video version of our version of the classic “Let It Snow” that we performed for the very first time live at the show!
We then made our way to record a couple of songs for Dick Clark’s Rocking New Year’s eve with Ryan Seacrest featuring the likes of Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, 50 Cent, Demi Lovato and many, many more. This is our 3rd time performing on that show, the first time being nearly 30 years ago, and we had our first hit on the charts the. Now in 2025, 30 years later we appear again and have another song “Not Goodbye” from our Summer Anthem EP again in the top 20. We recorded a couple of tunes, including the classic Iris that has been seeing some renewed action around the world for the past year, you’ll be able to check that out online soon!
And lastly, we will be performing a show at the Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City, NJ on NYE, we’ve had the past few years off on NYE, so I’m looking forward to celebrating 2026 with friends, family and a ton of GGDS fans! Lots going on next year, a full tour of Canada, a 2 week residency in Las Vegas and an extended US Tour all on the horizon! All the best to the readers of InRock for the new year, I wish you all health, wealth and happiness in all that you choose to do! And I’m always thankful to InRock and the readers who stop by every month to visit. InRock has allowed me this outlet to share my day to day ramblings with all of you for the past couple of decades and I truly value?our time together! Can’t wait to fill you in on our NYE show and continue?to keep you up to?date on all the goings on in the world of GGDS!
Happy New Year and talk to you all again soon, have an amazing 2026…
Peace
Robby
