A message from Muscle Tough:

“Hey Tough Lovers,

Thanks for being patient and gracious while we took a minute to process Ross’s fretting hand injury. We have results, with a full recovery in sight – but it’s further into the year than we anticipated 😅

We’re bummed to not be Getting Tough co-headlining with Nik Greeley & Operators or supporting the legendary Soulive this April ❤️‍🩹

The chemistry we’ve been fostering over the last decade plus is singular, and we look forward to returning to you guys in full health, with full hearts & deeply grateful grooves!

It won’t be radio silence from us – we have more live shows for Nugs slated and are preparing unheard recorded material for a shiny official release.

Thanks for all the support, it means the world to us.

When we say GET TOUGH…

Joe, Jonathan & Ross”

Getting Tough with Soulive!

Philly Tough Lovers – many of you know our beloved Ross (and his treasured fretting hand) was injured in an automotive incident. He’s on the path to full recovery and has to sit out our 1/29 MilkBoy show with Qway & Double D. 🤕

The music never stops – we’re blessed to have our creative pals Logan Roth (Trap Rabbit) & Wes Schartz (Grimace Federation) step in to help us through this tough time and present a unique night of music. Brotherly love personified. 💚

While fundraising goals for Ross have been generously eclipsed, there are a lot of unknowns ahead. You can find his continuing SpotFund in our bio. 🙏

We’ll see you 1/29 to ring in Double D Jedd's birthday in style! 🎉
