The Beltonian Theatre 3/30/24

Wow! What a fun crowd we had in Belton, TX, tonight! It was just a few seats shy of sold-out, and they were there to have fun. There were several requests tonight that were firsts for us, and I loved them all. I mean, where else could you not only request your favorite rock or pop tune from the past 70 years, but also Kermit the Frog, Tom Lehrer, Dr. Demento, and the Marx Bros? And we played them, and everything else we possibly could in our three-hour, non-stop show! One family came up to us after the show and introduced their young son, and told us he’s taking piano lessons now, and he was moved to tears of joy during our show. That’s why we do what we do. 

Moonshine Drinkery 3/29/24

We love our Victoria friends! Christine came to the show with Heather and I and took a ton of great pictures throughout the show. The place was packed, and everyone was sending up fun requests. The staff took great care of everyone (because they are rock stars) and we had a great time catching up with them before the show. We always look forward to our Victoria shows! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/28/24

Heather and I played Live Band Karaoke in New Braunfels, and we had tons of fans and friends in the audience from our first downbeat through the very end of the show. Kevin Humphrey joined us on guitar, and we had a great show together. The club packed out by about 10pm with potential singers. So glad to see bunches of people we haven’t seen in a while like Sarah, Randi, Sam, Brandon, Susan, Taylor, Anna, Damon, Len, and so many more! After our show at the end of the night, fellow piano bar player Kayla Roth appeared from the crowd and had a nice long chat with Heather and I. It feels good to have so many great people show up for us. 

Friends Bar 3/26/24

I sat in with the Long Lost Locals again tonight in Austin, TX, on 6th Street. It was a bunch of fun performing with Nathan, Micah, and guest drummer Charlie Jones. I had a fella come up after the show and told me his father used to play piano with Willie Nelson in the ‘70s, and then told me I was one of the best keyboard player he’s seen anywhere. That’s a big compliment, and one that was hard for me to take, but I really appreciated the sentiment! It’s always nice when someone connects to what I’m playing. 

Moonshine & Ale 3/23/24

Heather and I had a great time in New Braunfels tonight with drummer Chris Wallis! We had a packed house and tons of requests. “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Proud Mary”, “Bitch is Back”, “Love Story” and so many other tunes were played by request. Heather and Chris are so much fun to gig with, and Moonshine & Ale is a great venue. I always feel so lucky after playing shows like these! 

Happy Cow 3/22/24

The Hill Country Gentlemen reunited tonight in Hunter, TX, along with friends of ours, The Shady Rest Band. Troy, Kevin, Jeremiah, Clay and I had a bunch of fun as we ran through a bunch of tunes. It was great to hear Craig and Nate play before our set, too! Christine and Heather came out and took some pictures. I was able to introduce Heather to all the other musicians I’ve worked with, and it felt good to have worlds coming together. Christine took some great pictures, and I captured a ton with my GoPro. Fun night, great music, good friends, and beautiful weather. What more could I ask for? 

Moonshine & Ale 3/21/24

Before our show tonight in New Braunfels, we met up with my wife and our buddy Pancho for some dinner. Christine headed home, and the other three of us headed to Moonshine & Ale to play for Live Band Karaoke. We had a few technical difficulties, but we got it figured out quickly. Everyone had fun singing with us! 

Friends Bar 3/19/24

I performed in Austin, Texas, tonight, on 6th Street with the Long List Locals. We played a couple hours of good blues tunes, led by guitarist Nathan Hanners. Micah was on bass, and Luis was on drums, and they sounded great as a rhythm section. I always enjoy gigs with Nathan and his group. It’s nice to be able to stretch out and play!

Moonshine & Ale 3/17/24

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Heather and I played in New Braunfels tonight to celebrate the holiday. Everyone was dressed in their best green clothing and enjoyed their beers. It was a little more laid-back than last night, but people were still into our show and requesting songs all night. Heather sounded great as always, and I’ve really enjoyed our 5-night run of shows together this week. We’ll be back together on Thursday for Live Band Karaoke at Moonshine & Ale! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/16/24

We had a busy Saturday night in New Braunfels! Heather and I were joined by our good friend, drummer Chris Wallis at 10pm, and we all had a bunch of fun together. Some people were out celebrating St. Patrick’s Day early, some birthdays and some other celebrations were going on all during our show. After we finished, we headed back to my house just as a storm blew in, so we hung out and watched it while playing with my blue-light bubble gun! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/15/24

I love Heather! She makes life so easy, and we always have fun together. Tonight, we had lots of people who came out to see us that we recognized from other shows, including when we perform for Live Band Karaoke on Thursdays. We laughed our way through a 3.5 hour set, and we’re coming back for more on Saturday and Sunday this week. Join us! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/14/23

I like when the staff at Moonshine & Ale gets a chance to sing with us during Live Band Karaoke on Thursdays. Heather and I were joined tonight by Mark on guitar. We had lots of singers, and it made the night fly by. Heather and I will be back for piano bar Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday, so come see us! 

Boot Ranch 3/13/24

We spent our afternoon in Fredericksburg, TX, poolside. We played a two-hour, non-stop request show, and we made some new fans! Everyone was really nice there. The crowd sent us lots of requests, and kids danced around while we played them. It was a good afternoon. 

Plaza Tower 3/9/24

We performed in Tyler, TX, for a reception tonight. We played a dueling pianos show, along with drummer Chris Wallis. Everyone was excited, happy, and ready to celebrate as we played the songs people were requesting. It was a fun night! When we arrived, several people knew us from shows they’d seen us perform in New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Victoria, and they were thrilled we were there to do the show. Congratulations to newlyweds Emily and Greg! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/8/24

Heather and I performed at one of our favorite venues tonight. Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels, TX, is our home away from home. We had lots of bachelorette parties and birthdays celebrating with us this evening, and we even had newlyweds come straight from their wedding over to hang with us for a nightcap! Heather is such a joy to work with, and I love her tons. The two of us will return to New Braunfels, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and also Sunday for a special St. Patrick’s Day show next week, so join us!

Moonshine & Ale 3/7//24

We got the band back together for Live Band Karaoke tonight in New Braunfels. Pancho, Heather and I had bunches of fun while backing up all the singers we had join us on stage. It was packed tonight, and Heather did a great job keeping the show moving forward. Pancho and I traded licks and made each other laugh throughout the evening. After the show, we had many great compliments, but my favorite was from a fellow who took the time to talk to each of us individually to say how impressed he was with our musicianship, but also with how we present ourselves on stage, and how welcoming and supportive we were for all the singers. It made me feel good to have someone really notice! 

Darwin’s Pub 3/6/24

I had the night off, but Darwin’s needed a player tonight, so I headed up to 6th Street in Austin. Roger Glenn was on drums, and I really enjoyed playing with him again. He’s a talented dude and a good friend. We took requests from 9:30 PM till 12:30 AM, and it was everything from Supertramp to Alicia Keys. Thanks to Darwin for having me come play the show with Roger!
