Sparks The Rescue Guitarist Explains Departure

Patrick O'Connell has explained why he has left Sparks The Rescue.

"So a lot of people have been waiting for me to write something and explain why I left Sparks The Rescue. I'm sorry I took so long but here it is. It's nothing crazy or anything really. I just realized that the touring life is not for me. As much as I enjoy playing shows with the guys, it still got to me that I was not in maine around my family. the road isn't for everyone and I found out that I'm one of those people. I'm a blue collar guy from Lewiston, Maine. so I moved home and got a job painting. It's not glamorous but it lets me feel like I've worked my ass off and earned a pay check. Rough hands and sore muscles kinda shit. For the record I am not done with music. I most likely will be starting something up at some point just to play some local shows for fun. So keep an eye out for it if you like. Other than that if I haven't satisfied your curiosity well enough hit me up and I'll try to answer any questions I can. so before I finish this thing I'd just like to thank everyone that I've ever met and had a conversation with or has enjoyed our music or gone to a show or showed us to a friend or let us stay at your housee or anything. You guys gave me the opportunity to see the country and europe and feel welcome everywhere we went. and who knows. Maybe I'll see some of you around. Also please continue your support of Sparks The Rescue. They still mean the world to me and I want to see them on top of the world and they can't do it without you.

Patrick"
