Taxi's Piano Bar 4/17/15

Mikey Gammon and I played in San Marcos tonight. We had a decent crowd considering the weather wasn't the best. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was requested twice, which was odd, but hey, the crowd enjoyed it. Mikey and I locked in on a bunch of grooves, so it was a fun performance for us, too!

AJ's Ale House 4/16/15

A rainy night made for a slow night in New Braunfels. The few who braved the weather and I had a good time together, though. I was happy to perform the people's requests for them, and I'll be back to do it again this Saturday!

Muddle 4/11/15

The amazing Joe Resnick joined me in Waco, Texas tonight for another great all-request piano show! We had a serious crowd from our first to our last song, with lots of birthdays, bachelorettes, and tons of people in togas. A big thank you to the waitstaff at Muddle for keeping everything running so smoothly this evening.

AJ's Ale House 4/10/15

Mikey Gammon and I rocked New Braunfels tonight! We had a solid crowd with lots of great requests. It seemed to me we had an unusual amount of '50s rock tonight. People danced to everything we played! Mikey rocked it, as usual, and I went home happy!

HEB 4/10/15

From 6p-8p, I had the privilege of playing drums for The Hill Country Gentlemen at my H-E-B. Not yours. Mine.
Jeremiah, Troy, and Kevin sound great, and as always, I had a great time! Now I'm on my way to play piano in New Braunfels, Texas!

AJ's Ale House 4/9/15

Big changes in New Braunfels at AJ's Ale House! They are remodeling, and it will look great when it's done. I went about my show as I do every Thursday, and the crowd steadily grew all night. Sarah, one of the waitresses, is moving to California tomorrow, so it was nice to see her one last time tonight. Thanks to the crowd for hanging out during construction!

Taxi's Piano Bar 4/4/15

It was the night before Easter, and all through the bar, requests were flying and filling our tip jar. It was my first night back at Taxi's in a while, and since then, they moved the stage & redid their sound system, and it was great! I was happy my wife, and my brother & sister-in-law were able to make it out for the first part of the show. Fun in San Marcos!

Phoenix Saloon 4/3/15

The Hill Country Gentlemen held a CD release party in New Braunfels, Texas tonight. The new CD (which is also available on iTunes and CDBaby) is called "Don't Belong Here". We were joined on stage by Ian Lee on fiddle. The crowd was very supportive of our new effort and all of our new tunes. I really enjoy gigs with these fellows, and tonight was no different. We all stuck together and made a solid night of music!

AJ's Ale House 4/2/15

Thursday night in New Braunfels was fun, once again! I had a decent crowd most of the evening, and table #4 made sure everyone sang along. Thanks for the requests, folks!

Texas A&M Texarkana 3/30/15

Dave Lovett and I met up about 6 hours away from home to play a dueling piano show via Howl2Go for a student taco party! We performed from 8p-10p, and the requests were all over the place, from Sam Smith to Led Zeppelin. They were an energetic bunch of students who continued singing the "Pitch Perfect" soundtrack as we packed up for the evening. It was an interesting Monday night gig!

AJ's Ale House 3/28/15

Vince Mejia and I weeded through about a hundred birthdays and bachelorettes in San Marcos tonight. Maybe it was less, but it sure felt like every third song, someone was asking us to bring somebody on stage. We had a great crowd, and Vince was on top of every tune. After the show, I was given so many compliments, I thought I was being Punk'd. Thank you everyone for your kind words!

Railyard 3/28/15

I played with the Hill Country Gentlemen from 3p-6p today. The fellas sounded great, and the aroma of the crawfish boiling away filled the air. The weather was perfect, and there were no empty seats, so for a mid-afternoon gig, it went great! Thanks, San Marcos, for supporting live music!

Aztec Theater 3/27/15

I had a great time performing a Howl-2-Go show in San Antonio with Dave Lovett tonight at the historic Aztec Theater! We played for the folks at Owens Corning, so naturally, the Pink Panther was there. He danced with us and helped the crowd loosen up. It was an extremely interactive crowd, which makes our job easier. Before we took the stage, the crowd ate dinner while watch acrobats perform, which was fun to see. The night went so well, they asked us to perform an additional 30 minutes!

AJ's Ale House 3/26/15

I had them up and dancing tonight in New Braunfels. Most of the folks were there from about 9:15p until 10:45p, then the crowd thinned out. Most of the stuff requested at the end of the evening were just mellow tunes. It was good to see a few familiar faces tonight, too!

Pampell's 3/21/15

Tonight I found myself in Kerrville, Texas, performing a blues show with the great Marc Benno. It also made me very happy to have the solid rhythm section of Clay Rheinlander and Kevin Humphrey, on drums and bass, respectively. We began the night performing for a private party for a couple of hours, and then played about three hours open to the public. I had a blast performing with Marc on his original tunes and some old blues tunes. One cool thing that happened at the show was a couple of fans from New Braunfels shows, Colin & Kelly, showed up to watch the show after getting engaged just hours before! Congratulations, you two!

Howl At The Moon Houston 3/20/15

I joined the crew in Houston tonight for their Happy Hour show. From 6p-8p, I had fun swapping songs with Carey and Vince. There were quite a few parties hanging out, and the club was consistently filling up, preparing for the evening. Thanks for having me out, Houston!

AJ's Ale House 3/19/15

I had a pretty good Thursday night show in New Braunfels! Lots of random requests from a steadily growing crowd took me all night to get play them all. All we are is dust in the wind.

Sean Patrick's 3/17/15

San Marcos was hopping tonight for St. Patrick's Day! The Hill Country Gentlemen slammed through a powerful set of upbeat, rockin'-Americana tunes, and folks danced and sang along. Even toward the end of our show as began to rain, people hung around, drinking green beer, and generally enjoyed themselves.

AJ's Ale House 3/14/15

Happy Pi day! Joe Resnick and I played to a full house in New Braunfels tonight. We had more birthdays, bachelorettes and bachelors than I could keep track of! Requests were all over the place, and we played as many as humanly possible. The magic of Joe's drumming kept me together all evening, and I had fun!

AJ's Ale House 3/12/15

I had a few interested people in the show tonight, but overall, I was battling the NBA on TVs all around me. Music vs Sports? Sadly, sports always wins. I did have a good amount of requests and people singing to random things like the SpongeBob theme, but anytime ball goes to basket, eyes go to TV. See you Saturday!
