If Only You Were Lonely New York Performances

At Irving Plaza, Hawthorne Heights marks the 20th anniversary of *If Only You Were Lonely*, revisiting a rock/pop touchstone from the mid‑2000s emo and post‑hardcore crosscurrent. The Dayton band, now led by JT Woodruff with Matt Ridenour and Mark McMillon, returns to its dual‑vocal format and hook‑forward songwriting, shaped in the studio by producer David Bendeth. The album also stands as the last to feature Casey Calvert before his 2007 death. Support comes from letlive and Creeper.
