How are all of our crazy peeps doing!!!???? We hope 2025 brings a wild ride and good vibes to everyone. We haven't had a show for a couple of months and as we enter our 16th year as Final Order, there is a lot in the bag that we want to fill everyone in on. Finishing out our 15th year, we took a quick hiatus to regroup, refresh, recognize our situations, and continue to give it our all for all of our fans.

5 years ago, we (as everyone else) suffered through the CV19 shutdowns and left a lot of us with struggles in the music industry, especially those who depend on it for their livelihood. At the time, Kevin (Nova Cell) had a business to run and employees who depended on him. He needed to step aside to devote his time and efforts continue his operations as any great business owner would. At the same time, our dear friend and killer singer Dex was going through the suffrage of what so many entertainers were experiencing and lost out on months of business. Final Order asked Dex to come on board and it worked out great and gave us an opportunity to explore new avenues of music genres and gave us a more robust and rounded song library.

Forward to today, and it has been an amazing thing to witness Dex's rebound from a few years ago to today. His business, Shift Entertainment, has boomed! For those that don't know, Dex is a man of many talents and skills. Phenomenal singer, excellent acoustic act, incredible DJ, and probably one of the best karaoke hosts around. His persona is humble, intelligent and just an all around great person. With this, it had become time for him to continue what has brought him success, his business. Having several employees and personal risk with his endeavors takes precedence in any scenario and he will be moving on to greener pastures! It has been incredible to walk the Final Order journey with him the last five years and there is not enough gratitude the band and fans can express for his sacrifices and talents he gave to us. Please check out Dex's ventures at Shift Entertainment and see where his crazy self is going to be!!! You will not be disappointed.

Remember that Kevin guy from earlier........he is also a big fan of Dex. The past year has brought him out a few times and he developed a friendship with Dex and got to experience Dex's skills in singing and Dex's business, SHIFT Entertainment. A couple of months ago, F.O. was on the verge of hanging up the phone after 15 years. We felt it was a good run and we were proud to have had the band that long as not many achieve that time-frame in the cover band arena. That is until a chance run in with Kevin happened. After several discussions and a nod from our boy Dex, Kevin will be re-entering the building!!!! It has been 5 years since Kevin's initial departure but when rehearsing with him it felt like yesterday. Almost like riding a bicycle. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of rehearsals. Catching up on some old tunes, learning a few new ones, and strategizing what is to come at the start of the 16th year of Final Order. We promise good things!!! (and a pair of mike's used thongs to those who really want them).

Here is the best part of all the news!!!! Friday, January 24th, Kevin will making his return to the stage with Final Order at Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg!!!

BUT WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.....THERE'S MORE!!!! Mark your calendars for this!! It is going to be absolutely EPIC!!! Final Order makes their debut at Froggys in Monroe, Ohio on Friday, February 21st........but with a twist!!! This will be Dex's going away show (and you thought he was going to leave you hanging sober). But we wanted to show you guys an absolute blast of a time by having Dex and Kevin sharing the stage for the evening!!!! Two different styles, two incredible singers, and nothing but a crushing good time!!!! We are excited for the Froggys show as it will give everyone a great moment to show Dex our love and how much he means to the Final Order family, and at the same time we can re-introduce Kevin to new and long time fans.

Thank you to all of our fans, family, friends, pets, bar owners, bartenders, probation officers, massage therapists, knee replacement surgeons, attorneys, KY jelly makers, KFC, waffle house, white castle, Miller Lite, H2O, and everyone/everything else that has been there for us for 15 great years!!! Here comes number 16!!!!!

Cheers, F.O. SHO!!!
