Lion Sam Farrow Amphitheater 9/11/21

All Request Piano had a busy night! We drove almost 2 hours at 2pm to set up for a dueling pianos show in the park in Temple, TX. The show was from 7p-9p, and full of great requests from the crowd. People had their phones out sending light from their flashlights our way a few times during the show, and they sang along every chance they got. Heather sounded amazing, as always, and when we finished, people from the crowd flooded me with compliments about our show. Lots of kids came up and gave me compliments, too, which was very sweet. One little guy gave me a trinket he made for me during the show, and a little girl told me I was “the best piano player I’ve ever seen, and probably the best in the world!” Awww… but unfortunately, Heather didn’t get a chance to hear those things because just before our show started, we got a call from Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels because they had a player cancel on them, and so they needed Heather to cover the end of the night. She made it to New Braunfels and played the last couple hours, and I headed there after packing up my trailer in Temple. I made it by 12:15am, so I jumped on stage with Heather and I knocked out a few tunes with her until 1am! Over 200 miles today and two gigs later, I’m ready for bed! 

Rockin J Piano Bar 9/10/21

On our way to the show in Cedar Park, Heather and I saw a huge shooting star just before we pulled in! We set up and had a fantastic show, and the crowd was so into it that we ended up performing and extra half-hour. We found out after our show was over that Kevin Fowler hung out and enjoyed our show, which was nice to hear. Heather and I make a great team! 

Moot Music Cafe Livestream 9/10/21

I love sharing our music to people around the world! We did a Facebook livestream today and had folks on from upstate New York, Greece, Vermont, all over the UK and more. I like when Heather and I get a chance to play songs we’ve never tried, and we had a half-dozen or so. Thanks to all who tuned in! 

Moonshine & Ale 9/9/21

We played our Thursday Live Band Karaoke night, and it went well! It was a slow start, but things always pick up at Moonshine & Ale. It’s fun to be a part of something so popular! 

Moonshine & Ale 9/5/21

Happy Labor Day! We did a special Sunday-night-before-Labor-Day show in New Braunfels, TX, tonight. Heather wowed the crowd with her keytar skills, and I used that same keytar while simultaneously playing the drums! Hers sounded better, but mine looked good. That’s why we’re a good team. 

Moonshine & Ale 9/4/21

Heather and I were joined tonight by our good friend, drummer Chris Wallis. The three of us make a great team. Tonight was packed, and Heather pulled out the keytar to keep the energy up! I’m a lucky guy to be able to work with these great musicians and entertain 100s of people each week with them! 

Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino 9/3/21

Our dueling pianos show went great tonight in Eagle Pass, TX! Located on the Rio Grande about 3.5 hours from home, the casino has a hotel and lots of food to choose from, and a top-notch stage and sound system. Heather and I sang our hearts out for three hours, while simultaneously making each other laugh uncontrollably. The staff was great, and we really enjoyed ourselves while playing a ton of songs requested from the people who would wander in and out of our show. We look forward to another show here in the future! 

Moonshine & Ale 9/2/21

After our Live Band Karaoke tonight, Heather, Pancho and I were tearing down our gear when a couple stopped to speak to Heather and I about our show. They explained how much they love our chemistry and want to come see our piano bar show. Then, they begin to tell me that I have a doppelgänger named Steve from, wait for it, Indianapolis who was the guitarist for a punk band. We spoke quite a while about different coincidences and fun music stuff before leaving New Braunfels for the night! 

Rockin J Piano Bar 8/28/21

Just when I think I know what to expect, we have a night like tonight. Heather and I were so happy with the wildly different song selections the crowd made, and everyone was being so generous. We had a full club of people really watching and listening to us, and I’m proud of the show we gave them! I’ve said it before, but Heather and I make a great team!

Moonshine & Ale 8/27/21

It made me happy tonight when we had people from all kinds of different shows we’ve played in the crowd. One couple hung out all night, and afterwards, told us they’d watched our show when we played in Shiner, and gave us some great compliments. Heather and I are so happy working together and seeing friendly faces at our shows. 

Moonshine & Ale 8/26/21

Things got crazy at Live Band Karaoke tonight! We had a full room of party people. Everyone seemed to had a great time. We had every level of singer take the stage, and they all got a chance to sing with me, Heather & Pancho! 

Lenox 7th 8/25/21

We played a fun, semi-outdoor grand-opening of Lenox 7th in Austin, TX, tonight! It was attended by the residents and future residents of the residential complex, and the staff. A ribbon-cutting, toasts and people singing along filled our longer-than-expected set. A band was supposed to play before us, but didn’t, so they asked us if we’d do our 3-hour non-stop show, and we gladly obliged. Really nice to meet the people tonight, and there’s hope for a return show here for a future event. Congrats on the grand opening to Lenox 7th!

Moonshine & Ale 8/21/21

I filled in tonight for another player in New Braunfels, so it was a rare show without my partner Heather. I worked with Kyle and Greg to entertain the packed house. The show went fine, and I was glad I could help out the venue by filling in! Heather and I will be back at Moonshine & Ale next Thursday for live band karaoke, and again on Friday for piano bar!

Running M Bar & Grill 8/20/21

AllRequestPiano brought the party to Gonzalez, TX, tonight! Heather and I had a great time performing with each other. We keep each other laughing through all the song requests we play, from Lizzo to Jerry Lee Lewis. We had lots dancers and people singing, so that makes a good show for us! We’ll be back in October! 

Moonshine & Ale 8/19/21

Heather and I helped out at Live Band Karaoke tonight! I played drums the first half of the night, and Heather took over for a bit so I could help with the sound system. She even got a chance to sing a karaoke song before the end of the night! We always know how to have fun! 

Darwin’s Piano Bar 8/18/21

I was called to fill-in for a player tonight in Austin on 6th street. John Duran was drumming, and it was a no-pressure type show. The crowd defaulted to telling us bands they like, and we picked random songs of theirs to play. It was nice to play on a random Wednesday night! 

Greek Bros Oyster Bar 8/14/21

Greek Bros in El Campo is one of AllRequestPiano’s favorite spots to perform! The staff is great, and the crowd is always ready to participate. Heather and I swapped songs all night while drummer Chris Wallis held the rhythm down. We played an extra hour tonight, which was fine with us! When people are dancing, singing, laughing and generally filled with joy, it makes the gig fly by. Thanks again to everyone for hanging out with us tonight, and we’re looking at another date at Greek Bros sometime late this year or early next year! See ya then! 

Rockin J Piano Bar 8/13/21

Friday the 13th was in full swing tonight in Cedar Park. Heather and I had a ton of great requests from the crowd, and some of them were oddly off-center, but it made the night that much more fun for us! What was not fun was having a random lady stick her fingers in my mouth. Also not fun was dancers tripping on the drum shield, making it collapse on Heather and injuring her with her own mic as pieces fell to the ground. She didn’t let it phase her, though. She played a full set after that! All is well. 

Moot Music Cafe Livestream 8/13/21

I love performing on Moot! Things get weird fast, and Heather and I are always sleep-deprived which adds to the weirdness. Nothing but good vibes from Frankie the monkey and everyone watching, and it always starts our Friday in the best way. Even when it’s Friday the 13th. 

Moonshine & Ale 8/12/21

Heather and I played in New Braunfels for Live Band Karaoke tonight (with Greg on guitar). The evening was a slow start, but by 9:30p, the place packed out. Heather did a fantastic job getting singers up and guiding the band through whatever tunes they decided to sing! Yay!
