Moonshine & Ale 8/30/25

 

We played in New Braunfels tonight, along with drummer Ryan Hall. It was an another fun evening filled with requests. Heather and I did a couple duets, and we supported each other even when we were supposed to take a break. She’s such a great partner and friend. Ryan used sticks to beat stuff, but he hits good. I think I lost IQ points on that last sentence.

We rocked a steady room full of party people all night long. Heather and I played a bunch of tunes we never had before which is one of the most interesting things about this type of show. I regularly get “tested” with requests by seeing if I remember them from a million years ago. It’s crazy how many songs are locked away in my brain. 

Point West Studio 8/29/25

 

I drove up to Austin today to meet up with Nathan Hanners and the rest of the band to record a new song for Nathan‘s upcoming album. The song was called “Late Is Never“, and it’s always fun to play on a real B3. I also did some piano over dubs on a song we previously recorded. It was a fun afternoon, and the fellas sounded great. Thanks to Stewart and his team at Point West for having us in to record.

Moonshine & Ale 8/28/25

 

One thing I love about Live Band Karaoke in New Braunfels is all the friends we’ve made over the years. Morgan worked at Moonshine & Ale for years, and she popped in to visit with Heather, Pancho and me tonight. I miss seeing her when we gig there. We had a great crowd of singers, and we got a chance to perform lots of our new songs which we added to our show a couple weeks ago. Heather and I will be back Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this week for piano bar. Come see us and request some songs! 

Moonshine & Ale 8/22/25

 

We had a crazy amount of requests tonight in New Braunfels. Heather and I played as many as time allowed, and as best we could could! Some fans from Victoria, TX, showed up to celebrate a 50th birthday with us, which was so special to us! We had several other birthdays, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and even a divorce party hanging out with us tonight. We will be back at Moonshine & Ale next week for Live Band Karaoke on Thursday, and then three nights of piano bar: Friday, Saturday, and a special show on Sunday.

Hahaha! The picture may be blurry, but it was because we were all having fun tonight at Live Band Karaoke! A couple of fans joined in with us when I snapped it, but obviously I was in too big a hurry for a clear shot. The night was fun, and people were using our new app all night again. It really streamlined our whole show, and allows us to keep things moving all night. Pancho and Heather are always fun to perform with, and it’s always great to talk to people like Lauren and Sam, pictured here, sort of. 

Moonshine & Ale 8/15/25

Tonight, we unveiled our new Live Band Karaoke system to the crowd, and it worked perfectly! We added over 50 songs to our list, and everything is now handled through an app by scanning a QR code, which allows people to sign up, tip, and see where they are in line to sing. It also made performing much easier for Heather because before, people would always come to her with questions mid-song. We all can now focus on playing rather than paperwork. We had a full night of singers, and the app made the list easy to follow, which I think meant we were able to get a couple more people on stage over the course of the night because it saved so much time. It was great to see some of our favorite singers in the crowd tonight, including several we haven’t seen in a few months. 

Moonshine & Ale 8/9/25

We made a few new fans tonight in New Braunfels! I feel honored that I get to perform to over 300 people every time we take the stage. It feels so good that we can perform so many different kinds of songs to try to fit everyone’s requests. I still can’t believe that each show, I perform songs that I wasn’t even sure I knew. The two most interesting that I did tonight were “Suddenly Seymour“ and “I Am Woman”, the latter only being possible because I saw Weird Al perform it last weekend live. Heather sound fantastic, as always. Our drummer tonight was Ryan Hall, and he’s always a lot of fun to work with. We had a good night, but I am now exhausted! We will be back all next weekend to take more requests.

Moonshine & Ale 8/8/25

I had a lot of fun tonight in New Braunfels! We had several people out celebrating anniversaries, bachelorette parties, and birthdays. We had many requests that we haven’t seen in a long time (or ever) which is always fun and keeps things fresh. After the show, we had a chance to talk to a few fans. It always makes me happy to do that. We also had someone send a Venmo tip, and in the comment section, they called us “the best band in New Braunfels”. It definitely made us feel good.

Moonshine & Ale 8/7/25

 

Live Band Karaoke was great tonight. I love Pancho and Heather, and they make everything so much better and easier. I was in Indianapolis for the past few days visiting family, and I flew back to Texas today. Our flight was delayed several times, but I made it to the show right on time (down to the minute). Heather and Pancho already had the stage set up, and we started rocking as soon as I stepped onstage with them. Heather and I will be back at Moonshine & Ale for most of the month, including this weekend for piano bar, so come join the fun! 

Old Kress Live 8/2/25

I love how Heather and I get so synchronized that our pictures at the end of the night look like we rehearsed them. Our 2nd of two nights in Corpus Christi went well, and we made several new fans. We love the staff and owners at Old Kress Live, and it’s been fun working with them for the past couple of years. Next month will wrap up our residency there, so mark your calendars. September 5 & 6 will be our last weekend there, but we left the door wide open to return for special events in the future! 

Old Kress Live 8/1/25

Heather and I made it to Corpus Christi to perform for our friends at Old Kress Live. We had a solid crowd and lots of requests. I didn’t realize until after we got to our AirBnB that my camera only fired one shot, but at least it was one of Heather playing something awesome! We’ll be back tomorrow at 9pm, so come on out.
