"We have played there and it's kind of an interesting story," he began with a laugh. "The last time we were there in West Long Branch, New Jersey, we didn't realize at the time when we got there that we were at Monmouth University which of course we had heard of because J.D. and I are sports fans and we see the basketball scores. So, we get there and it's this beautiful place, the performing arts center that they have is amazing but we were there on a Sunday in the summer and it was raining. It was a dreary Sunday, drizzling rain all day and I think we probably had, I don't know, 85 people or something in the audience. School wasn't in session and it was a rainy Sunday and I was talking to one of the people who worked there and I said, "I'm sorry we didn't sell more tickets" and she said, "That's OK, school is not in session and nobody is here" and I said, "Well, thank you for having us anyway" and this year, when our agent sent us the tour schedule and I saw that was on the schedule, I thought; really? They're having us back? (Laughs) Then I thought, well, at least this time school is in session so I hope a lot of the students come out; that's what we're hoping for, hopefully we can at least double it this year. We play the same show no matter what. Our motto is, we play the same for 12 people as we do for 10,000 because you're playing for the people that are there and not for the people that aren't there. So, whoever comes there and buys a ticket, they deserve a show. We go out there; the worst feeling in the world and I've been doing this since I was a kid; I can remember playing for giant crowds when I was 16 at festivals or opening for a big name act and the worst feeling in the world is when the lights go down and you can hear a pin drop (Laughs). We play raucous rock places and what happens when you get in the theaters and the lights go down and people are sitting there like they're about to see "Peter Pan," it's a little disheartening but when we go out there, what we try to do; we engage with the crowd a lot and what we try to do before the end of the show, is to get everyone up and come see us down at the front of the stage. We wait until the show is about two-thirds of the way through but before it's over, we let a theater audience know that it's OK to go a little nuts and treat it like a rock show. Usually, at the end of the night, they are always very happy and they can't believe it happened."
Oh, and about that other career of Thornton's, you know, acting: "The acting thing was an accident, I don't even know how it happened but thank God it did because it took care of my family. I just grew up in music and here we are, still doing it after all of these years."
Shall you be more local to Pennsylvania, The Boxmasters will be at the Sellersville Theater on Thursday October 10 so, that's two chances to see the band within 24 hours.
