KOOP Radio 7/1/25

The Long Lost Locals performed on the air today from Austin, TX, on KOOP radio. Ted Branson interviewed Nathan Hanners about his upcoming album and release party, and we played three tunes live. Ted also played one of our new recordings, “Haunted Ones”. It was early for me, but I had a great time with the fellas. 

Moonshine & Ale 6/28/25

What a fantastic night! Heather and I woke up in Hillsboro, TX, this morning after gigging in Oklahoma the night before, and we drove home for a couple hours, then met up with drummer Ryan Hall in New Braunfels to play to an absolutely packed house full of people singing along to every request they sent up. One bachelorette party gave us some cowboy hats and sashes to wear, which we gladly did while playing their songs. It was a great cap to a very busy and fun weekend! 

The Grand Casino and Resort 6/27/25

We had some downtime before the private event near Oklahoma City tonight, so Heather and I wandered around the casino before landing in our green room for a few hours. We had a great show, and we enjoyed performing with drummer Julien Boussontie. I loved the unusual requests we had like Beck’s “Where It’s At”, Blind Melon’s version of “Three Is A Magic Number”, and the double Phil’s “Easy Lover”. We played two half-hour sets before loading out and heading back to Texas for our show in New Braunfels tomorrow night. Woot!

Moonshine & Ale 6/26/25

It was slamming tonight in New Braunfels for Live Band Karaoke. Pancho, Heather and I played a bunch of songs we’ve not had many opportunities to play before. We also did some behind the scenes adjustments to our computer set up, and it made our performance a little easier which was great. As soon as the show ended, Heather and I drove to Hillsboro to sleep, then it’s on to OKC for our Friday show. We’ll be back in New Braunfels Saturday for piano bar. 

Moonshine Drinkery 6/22/25

Heather and I played our second of two shows in Victoria, TX, this afternoon for brunch from 1p-3p. Brunch was provided by Wild Thyme Bartending and Catering and was delicious. We had a good Sunday afternoon crowd, and got to enjoy catching up with our Victoria friends both yesterday and today. Thanks to Christine for the picture, and thanks to all the people who came out to enjoy the day with us! 

Moonshine Drinkery 6/21/25

We played in Victoria, TX, tonight after the Pride event downtown. Christine came with us, and she took some great photos. By the end of the night, the place got pretty packed, and we had lots of dancers and requests. It’s always fun when we get a chance to come back to our favorite spot in Victoria. The staff and the people are always so great, and Heather and I get the most unusual requests. We will be back Sunday for a brunch show from 1p-3p, so come get some food and see our show! 

Moonshine & Ale 6/20/25

Live Band Karaoke on Thursdays in New Braunfels is always a fun time, especially when friends and fans show up to sing with us! We have many good singers this evening, but something was in the air tonight for sure. We had several minor incidences, including the TV nearly being knocked off its stand, some beers spilled, and some other technical stuff, but we powered through those minor inconveniences, and the people were happy. Pancho sounded fantastic on guitar, as always, and Heather kept the night flowing smoothly from the drums. Will be back for more LBK next Thursday. See you then!

Moonshine & Ale 6/14/25

We performed in New Braunfels again tonight at our home-away-from-home, Moonshine & Ale. Heather and I started the night out swapping between keys and drums until 10pm when we were joined by drummer Josh Spence. The show went great, and we helped a bunch of people celebrate birthdays in between all the requests. It was a fun night, and Josh sounded great. Thanks to everyone for hanging out with us once again! 

Moonshine & Ale 6/13/25

I got to play some songs tonight by The Cure, Dolly Parton, Radiohead and many more. Heather rocked some Mariah Carey, Harry Nillson, Evanescence, plus lots of others, too. That’s part of why I love this show. We never know which way the crowd is going to take us, and we both love following the flow. Heather is such a great partner for me, and I love our time performing together. We will be back for more at Moonshine & Ale tomorrow night! 

Moonshine & Ale 6/12/25

Pancho is such a great guitarist and person. Heather is a ball of sunshine and a fearless musician. I’m always happy to share the stage with them. We had a great time at Live Band Karaoke tonight, and we had many great singers. We also got to play some songs which rarely get requested. Thanks to everyone for coming out to sing with us tonight! 

Old Kress Live 6/7/25

Our second of two nights in Corpus Christi was great. Heather and I started off our day by driving from our favorite AirB&B (The Cheap Seats) to Padre Island National Seashore for some beach time. We headed back to our room and got cleaned up, then had some dinner at Thai Spice. We made it over to Old Kress Live about 8ish, and performed to a bunch of people who hadn’t seen our show before, and made some new fans of them. As the night went on, the club just kept getting busier until we ended at midnight, when DJ Zack took over and kept the crowd going. We’ll be back next month for more! 

Old Kress Live 6/6/25

We returned to Corpus Christi this weekend for a couple nights of piano bar! We had many requests right from the start tonight, as well as a couple of birthdays. We also had several people come tell us how much they appreciate our show. That always makes us feel good. 

Moonshine & Ale 6/5/25

Josh Holmes joined us at Live Band Karaoke tonight in New Braunfels. Heather and I had a great time performing with him. We had a busy night of singers! Lots of people put in requests to sing, and Heather kept the show flowing smoothly from the drums. We had some friends and fans in the crowd, including a surprise appearance from my niece, Anna! It was so good to see her and Josh tonight. Pancho will be back on guitar next week. See everyone then! 

Moonshine & Ale 5/31/25

We had another full room for our show tonight in New Braunfels. Heather and I had a good time playing everyone’s requests this whole weekend at Moonshine & Ale. Tonight, we were joined at 10pm by Reese Spano on the drums, which freed me up to play some keytar, and it was fun. Heather and I had a few special requests from the crowd for us to sing together, including “Summer Nights”, “Purple Rain” and “The Chain”. Thank you to everyone who came out to the show tonight. Heather and I will return this Thursday for Live Band Karaoke. See you then! 

Moonshine & Ale 5/30/25

We performed in New Braunfels tonight. We had a good crowd, including some visitors from England. They got the first request in of the night, and stayed until nearly the end of the night. We also had people from Colorado in, as well as other spots all over the country. It’s cool when we get visitors from far away, and it’s even cooler when they return year after year to see our show. Heather and I will return tomorrow night to take more requests. 

Moonshine & Ale 5/29/25

Live Band Karaoke went great tonight. We had lots of friends and fans in the crowd. Pancho and Heather sounded great, and I always enjoy playing with them. I’m glad we got to hear so many great singers tonight, and thank you to all who join us each week in New Braunfels. Heather and I will be at Moonshine & Ale both Friday and Saturday night this weekend, so come out and join us! 

Moonshine & Ale 5/25/25

We had a great crowd for our special Sunday night show in New Braunfels. Since many people are off for Memorial Day, we entertained a full room of party people. We had a guest drummer, Alex Lugwa, for a few songs tonight, and I hope we get to work with him again sometime soon. The night went by quickly because we had so many requests, and Heather and I were so happy to spend another holiday weekend at Moonshine & Ale. See you on Thursday for Live Band Karaoke! 

The Beltonian Theatre 5/23/25

The Beltonian Theatre in Belton, TX, has been fun over the past year and more, and tonight was our last show there for the forseeeable future. The owners are trying to sell the venue as they are moving on to a new phase of their lives, and Heather and I are happy to know how many great shows we’ve had there with Zachariah and his staff. We really love our times with all of them! Tonight’s show was another great one for the books, and we had an amazing amount of requests during our three-hour performance. Heather and I played as many as possible, and we really appreciated all the fun and off-center requests. Christine came up with us tonight and took some fun pictures and video, and I love it when she comes to shows with us. We took a funny shot together before our show across the street at the antique mall. Thank you to the crowd tonight for all the kind words about our show after we finished, and thank you to the Beltonian for providing us with a great place to present our show during our time working with you. Maybe we’ll return with whoever buys the place, but until then, see you at a show somewhere down the road! 

Moonshine & Ale 5/22/25

Heather and I were joined by Pancho and Denise tonight at Live Band Karaoke in New Braunfels. We had a great time together with a full room of singers waiting to take the stage with us. I aways feel good knowing all the great musicians I get to work with. Heather and I will be in Belton tomorrow at the Beltonian Theatre for our last show there for the foreseeable future  as it is being sold by the owner, and we will return to Moonshine & Ale for a special show this Sunday night because Monday is Memorial Day. Hope to see you at a show! 

Moonshine & Ale 5/17/25

Heather and I closed out our weekend in New Braunfels tonight with drummer Ryan Hall. We had a packed room for the majority of the night, and tons of requests. I can’t believe how long I’ve been performing in this place, and I never take for granted how good our crowd always is. Working with great musicians like Heather and Ryan makes shows easy.
