Old Kress Live 11/2/24

Thanks to Old Kress Live in Corpus Christi for having us perform on the first Friday and Saturday of each month. Heather and I made our way through all the requests tonight to a happy crowd. We had everything from Frank Sinatra to Taylor Swift brought up tonight. We'll be back in December, so come join us! 

Old Kress Live 11/1/24

Heather and I had fun in Corpus Christi tonight! We had lots of requests and people up dancing a bunch which made us feel good. The later crowd was just there to chill, but they kept requesting songs right up until midnight when the DJ took over. We’ll be back tomorrow night for more requests!

Moonshine & Ale 10/31/24

Happy Halloween! Heather, Pancho and I played at Live Band Karaoke in New Braunfels, TX, in costume as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. The costume contest took place after we had a bunch of people in costume come sing with us. A “Joey Ramone” sang “I Wanna Be Sedated”, and a guy dressed as a Devo band member did “Whip It”. It was a fun night, and I’m so lucky to be able to spend it with such good people! 

Hudson Hall 10/26/24

We performed at a private event in Altus, OK, tonight. It was a fundraiser, and our second year performing for them. The crowd was great and they liked us so much, they paid for us to stay and play longer which made Heather and me both feel good. On our way home, we stopped at a gas station selling Ice Ice, Baby. 

Yonder’s Point at Old Settler’s Park 10/25/24

We played at Flavor Fest 2024 in Round Rock, TX, tonight. There were several food and drink vendors, and five of them were competing for prizes. We performed about an hour and a half with a pause in the middle for some giveaways. Lots of kiddos dancing and tons of requests were brought up tonight. They had us projected on the big screen, and when we finished, they started the movie “Footloose”. We had fun and I hope we get invited back for another event soon! 

Moonshine & Ale 10/24/24

Our Thursday night Live Band Karaoke show in New Braunfels was joined by Julia Chisholm on piano. I played bass on the keytar, Heather held down the drums, and Pancho was on guitar. The crowd had quite a few people in costume. I guess there was some sort of trunk-or-treat event in the street before we arrived which had the block closed off. It didn’t stop people from coming in to sing with us! 

Freihieght Country Store 10/23/24

I played a fun show with Zack Walther and Matthew Briggs in New Braunfels, TX, tonight. It was my first time meeting them, and we did a song swap featuring some original music of Zack’s, some of my originals, and bunch of other cool covers of whatever we were feeling. It was also my first time at Freiheit, and it’s a pretty cool venue. Thanks to Zack and Matthew for the invite! 

Moonshine & Ale 10/19/24

There was a Dia de los Muertos Festival happing in New Braunfels, TX, so we started off with a big crowd! Zack joined us on drums at 10pm, and we had tons of requests all night. Heather sounded great once again, and we both played bunches of tunes we don’t normally get. I’m grateful for all the support from the crowd all night long! 

Moonshine & Ale 10/18/24

Heather is one of my favorite people, and I love getting to work with her. We played in New Braunfels, TX, tonight, and we had lots of fans in the audience. We even were surprised to see a couple we met a couple weeks ago at our show in Belton, TX, who just happened to stop in while traveling! We played a little bit of everything tonight, and I’m looking forward to seeing what will be requested when we come back tomorrow night. 

Moonshine & Ale 10/17/24

Live Band Karaoke with Heather, Pancho, and me was fun tonight. We had a bunch of familiar faces come out to celebrate and sing with us. Heather sounded great on drums tonight, and Pancho’s guitar playing always impresses me. Heather and I will be back both Friday and Saturday at Moonshine & Ale for piano bar!

The Beltonian Theatre 10/12/24

Happy birthday to my super-talented partner Heather! The crowd at the theater helped me sing to her tonight at our show. We had lots of cool requests ranging from Dolly Parton to Snoop Dogg. I was shocked that I remembered “I’m Alright” by Kenny Loggins, but I did watch Caddyshack a couple of weeks ago, so I got that going for me. Thank you to the fun crowd at our show tonight, and we hope you’ll join us next month at The Beltonian!

Moonshine & Ale 10/11/24

Moonshine & Ale had us back tonight to take requests like we do, and it was a fun time. Heather played the most Chappell Roan requests that we’ve seen, and I played one, too. We had some things requested we rarely get as well like “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Whip It” and quite a few more. Heather’s birthday rolled in at midnight, so we closed the show with me singing “Happy Birthday” to her over “Closing Time”, which is what she was playing on the piano. She’s pretty awesome. 

Moonshine & Ale 10/10/24

I drummed at Live Band Karaoke tonight in New Braunfels, and my partner Heather played keys. Pancho sounded great on guitar, and the three of us had fun backing up the singers tonight. We started off to only a few tables, but within a half-hour we were packed! It was good seeing all the new people mixing in with our regulars. One of our regulars stopped me on break, pointed to my shirt, and said, “Those Telly Tail Tubs? They go space now?” Gotta love it. 

Camp Waldemar 10/5/24

We played a wedding after-party in Hunt, TX, tonight. It was a late night event where we performed from 11:15p until 12:45a. The bride and groom, plus their families and friends were so much fun with lots of energy. Heather and I had quite a bit of time before we performed, so we had some fun looking around the property together. It was a really cool and unusual venue. 

Old Kress Live 10/4/24

We had a good night in Corpus Christi for our monthly show at Old Kress Live. The place was decorated for Halloween, which made us both happy. We had several people celebrating different things tonight, and one woman was so happy that I played her song that she grabbed my hands and thanked me while crying tears of joy. Those moments make this all worth it. 

Moonshine & Ale 10/3/24

Tonight was my first show back after an Alaskan vacation, and it was fun to be onstage again with Pancho and Heather. We did our regular 8:30p-midnight Live Band Karaoke show with lots of willing singers. I was wearing a t-shirt tonight I bought on vacation, and afterwards, two women came up and asked if they could take a picture with me because they both just drove down from where they live in Seward, AK! By the way, my shirt says, “Everything‘s bigger in Texas… until you’re in Alaska”. 

The Beltonian Theatre 9/13/24

I have so much fun with Heather! She stopped at my house to carpool to Belton, and I took a great picture of my wives. Thanks to Chance for letting me co-spouse. Ha! We had a great time with the people at the Beltonian Theatre. Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Dolly Parton, Ray Stevens, Dusty Springfield, Chappell Roan and so many other artist’s songs were requested, and we played as many as time allowed. I’m taking a couple weeks off, but you can catch Heather in New Braunfels while I’m out. See you in a couple weeks! 

Moonshine & Ale 9/12/24

I had fun at Live Band Karaoke with Heather and Kevin tonight. One lady stopped me on break and asked if we only brought up people we knew could sing. I didn’t quite understand, so after some questions, I found out she was saying everyone who took the stage sounded like a professional to her. I told her it was just the people who signed up to sing, and not affiliated with the band. She was impressed. We had many fans come sing with us tonight, and that makes me happy. 

Old Kress Live 9/7/24

There’s not a bad seat in the house in Corpus Christi with our show on a couple of big screens above the bar! The staff is always so sweet to us, and we try our best to make the show a fun time for them as well as the crowd. We played from 10p-1a, and after we finished playing everyone’s requests, we packed up and headed back to San Marcos. 

Old Kress Live 9/6/24

We love our fans! Kinsey showed up wearing our band shirt, and Amanda tolerated it! They really are fun, and gave me a huge compliment tonight by requesting a song I wrote called “It’s You”. Heather sang her verse from the drums, which made me happy because we’ve never played it together. First Fridays Artwalk in Corpus Christi are always fun! We walked around a bit and bought a few LPs before the show, and did a photo opp with Jason.
