Old Kress Live 3/8/25

Our Saturday night show went well in Corpus Christi! We had some unusual requests. One I’ve never had before came up tonight. “Rattled” by The Traveling Wilburys wasn’t one I expected, but we played it for an appreciative couple, Now, we’re heading home, and with “spring forward”, I guess I won’t be getting to bed until after 5am today!

Old Kress Live 3/7/25

Owners Amos and Kristen were at Old Kress Live in Corpus Christi tonight inside their new “Friends” themed speakeasy in the hallway behind the stage. They went all out to make it feel like Central Perk, down to the dishes and lamps! It’s very cool. Heather and I had a fun show tonight. It’s good when the crowd is responsive. We’ll be back for our Saturday night show! 

Moonshine & Ale 3/6/25

Live Band Karaoke went well last night in New Braunfels. Heather, Pancho, and I had some time before and after the show to talk about what we did this week. Pancho played a show out in California, while Heather and I got a chance to play with bassist Bill Ritter. After we talked about things a bit, we launched into our show and had lots of fun backing up singers right up until midnight. Will be back next Thursday for more Live Band Karaoke!

Moonshine & Ale 3/1/25

Heather and I played our second of two shows today in New Braunfels (after our DanHolmesGroup show in San Marcos this afternoon). It was a busy night at Moonshine & Ale. Jay Russell drummed for us tonight at 10pm, which gave me the chance to play some keytar. Both of our shows were lots of fun, and I’m so happy that I regularly get to perform at shows where I can make hundreds of people happy while performing with one of my bestest buddies. Heather rocks! 

Zellick’s Icehouse 3/1/25

DanHolmesGroup played 4:30p-6p at Zellick’s in San Marcos for their Mardi Gras celebration! We performed right after Ton Of Brass, and we enjoyed their set. I was so happy to perform with Bill Ritter again on bass, Roger Glenn on drums, and Heather Shook singing some harmonies with me while she played some percussion. These are the shows I love. Great friends playing fun music for a very appreciative audience. Thanks to Zellick’s for including us in the show, and thanks to my wife Christine for taking lots of great photos. Hopefully, I’ll have some video of the show to post soon! 

Moonshine & Ale 2/28/25

We played in New Braunfels, TX, tonight. The crowd brought us a bunch of requests. One of my favorite tunes “What A Wonderful World” was requested, so I played it for a woman in the front row. A couple songs went by, and she came up the piano while I was in the middle of a song and began shuffling through my requests, looked upset, then sat down. After I finished that song, I asked Heather to talk to the crowd and I got the woman’s attention to see what was wrong. She quickly got a waitress’s attention, paid their bill, and left with her husband. After the show, we asked the waitress what was wrong. She told us the woman was very upset that we played her request and then put the tip she left with the song into our tip jar. I’m so confused. To be clear, she was upset that we DID play her song and put her tip into our jar. Everyone else had a great time and told us how much they loved our show. One guy even came up after a song to tell me how good Heather and I sound together. I told him it’s easy when you love who you play with!
