Taxi's Piano Bar 2/14/15

Chris Wallis and I joined forces to play for a great Valentine's Day crowd at my favorite basement bar in San Marcos. We had fans come in from Marble Falls and Canyon Lake, plus a bunch of regulars who were in to have a good time. Chris is always fun to perform with, and tonight, he made some new fans, too. Thanks to everyone who drove in to see our show! Happy Valentine's Day!

Evangeline Cafe 2/13/15

I love performing with these talented fellas! Chris Wallis on drums played some super-funky beats tonight. Kevin laid down a deep bass pocket for Ian's guitar and my piano. We played a bunch of Mardi Gras tunes, mixed in with a bunch of our originals, and blurred the lines so thoroughly that the crowd didn't know what was ours and what was a cover! I'm proud to play with cats, and I'm looking forward to Mardi Gras. A big thanks to my wife, Christine, for the great pictures & video tonight!

AJ's Ale House 2/12/15

Random people just jumped onstage tonight in New Braunfels only to sing. Several people walked in from outside and jumped onstage to sing before getting their first drink. I had one guy jump onstage to sing three words as he was leaving the club. I even had two people outside the stage window stop to sing on the sidewalk. It was a very singing kind of night.

AJ's Ale House 2/7/15

Joe Resnick and I had a fantastic night in New Braunfels,Texas! The crowd responded well to everything we threw at them, including when we brought up two birthday people who had never met and made them dance together. They did a great job together, and the night went by very quickly. Thanks to Joe for another fun show!

AJ's Ale House 2/5/15

I traveled to New Braunfels again this evening to play a show for the good people at AJ's Ale House. Everyone was in a good mood, so the night flew by pretty quickly. I'll be back at AJ's this Saturday night, so I hope to see you there!

AJ's Ale House 1/31/15

It had to be a record-breaking night in terms of how many birthdays were being celebrated in New Braunfels tonight. It felt like (the always amazing) Chris Wallis and I would play three songs, then call someone to the stage for their birthday, three more songs, birthday, and repeated that pattern all night long. We decided to shake it off, we shook all night long, and I saw her standing there. Enter Sandman.

Green Door 1/30/15

I got a text earlier today from a fellow piano player who fell ill, and he asked me to cover his gig in Temple, Texas tonight, which I did with Joe Resnick on the drums. We had a very fun, interactive crowd, and they were bringing up requests all night long. Joe is a machine, and I always have a good time performing shows with him!

Superfly's 1/30/15

DanHolmesGroup performed an hour of original music tonight in San Marcos, Texas at my favorite local record store! I had a fantastic time performing with Chris Wallis (drums), Ian Lee (guitar) and Kevin Humphrey (bass). Those are three very talented guys. We had a good crowd, and the store sold several copies of my album, "Something's Going Down". Thanks for all the support, San Marcos!

AJ's Ale House 1/29/15

This morning started with me driving to Austin to have The Hill Country Gentlemen's new album mastered. Then, I had lunch with my wife, and ended my Austin trip with a massage at Mantis. I came home at about 5pm and plopped down on the couch until it was time to head to New Braunfels for my request piano show. I'm glad the people were interactive with me, because I was a little tired by the end of the evening!

Taxi's Piano Bar 2/24/15

Brad Evilsizer made it to my hometown of San Marcos, Texas tonight to join me in an all-request piano/drum show in my favorite basement bar. It was easily the busiest night I've ever experienced at Taxi's, and we played a long show because of the crowd. So many songs, I lost count. Must've been in the thousands, because that's what it felt like!

AJ's Ale House 1/23/15

New Braunfels, Texas was busy tonight. Roger Glenn and I performed for a big crowd and they danced a bunch. They weren't super interactive, but requests flowed over the piano all night, so I know they were listening. Roger sounded great, and I'll be back at AJ's Ale House on Thursday!

AJ's Ale House 1/22/15

My night in New Braunfels started with a little rain, and a lot of requests. I had a few people ask me if I was the same guy without a beard, and I told them I'm the same guy with or without a beard. Drunk people are fun to mess with.

AJ's Ale House 1/17/14

Vince Mejia and I performed to a packed club in New Braunfels tonight. There was an amazing amount of requests brought to the piano! We played everything from Blues Traveler's "Hook" to the Beatles "Helter Skelter". I haven't done a show with Vince in a while, and it was nice to share the stage with him again. If you haven't seen him, you're missing out on a solid player!

AJ's Ale House 1/15/15

People were full of compliments tonight in New Braunfels, Texas! Made me feel good each time they'd come up to the stage just to drop a few bucks in my jar and say they loved me. Lots of dancing and good vibes all around.

LUX Lounge 1/11/15

From 4p-8p, Chris Wallis and I played in Austin, Texas. The first hour was very slow because of all the sports on all the TVs in all the bars, but things picked up as the sun went down. We had some dancers, requests for random Billy Joel tunes, and overall, it turned out to be a nice night!

Taxi's Piano Bar 1/9/15

Because the one and only Brad Evilsizer joined me in San Marcos tonight for a request piano show, I was able to let one audience member play more cowbell for "Don't Fear The Reaper". Brad travels with bell of cow, whereas I do not. We had fun in the basement tonight, celebrating a couple birthdays and random dance tunes. Thanks for hanging out with us, everyone!

AJ's Ale House 1/8/15

Cold all over the country, and New Braunfels, Texas was no exception! The folks who braved the weather kept pretty bundled up while I performed their requested songs. I saw lots of unfamiliar faces tonight, many of which told me it was their first time in New Braunfels. I had a good show, went home, and bundled up!!

AJ's Ale House 1/3/15

In New Braunfels tonight, Joe Resnick and I played on the newly elevated stage to a packed house! The stage was raised about 8", and it allows everyone, even people in the very back, to see us. I like it, and the crowd seemed to like it, too. We had an amazing amount of requests all night, and even though I played one right after the other, I still had a pile I couldn't get to. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and I'll be back next Thursday!

AJ's Ale House 1/1/15

New Year's Day, 2015, I found myself back at AJ's Ale House in New Braunfels, playing to a small, but very attentive crowd! They danced, sang, and requested tunes all night long, and it ended up being one of the best Thursday nights in recent memory. Like A Prayer? Check. Enter Sandman? Check. Africa? Check. Many other random tunes? Check, check, check, check....

AJ's Ale House 12/31/14

Happy New Year! Chris Wallis and I rang in the new year with a full house (including my wife, brother, and sister-in-law) in New Braunfels. The requests filled the piano early and a steady flow kept it full all night. It has been a pleasure working with Chris in 2014, and I look forward to many more shows with him in 2015!
