Zydeco's 6/28/15

The triumphant return of DanHolmesGroup to Zydeco's in Mooresville, Indiana happened today from 12:30pm-4pm, and it was a party! Bill Ritter on bass and Steve Brunner on drums (the Indiana chapter of DHG) joined me to play a bunch of original tune and some New Orleans classics to the extremely appreciative crowd. The owners of Zydeco's, Deb & Carter Hutchinson, were so kind to open up for a special Sunday show. A huge thank you to both of them for having us! It was great to catch up with old friends, while making new fans in the process. Also, thanks goes out to Christine Barton-Holmes and Nancy Ritter for taking some great photos today!

The Palms 6/27/15

Tonight, my wife and I were DJs for Krista (Turner) & Alex Bullington's wedding reception in Plainfield, IN. We had a great time seeing everyone so happy as they danced to all the tunes we played. We had lots of family and friends at the wedding, so it doubly nice to catch up. Fun evening, congrats to the bride and groom!

Moonshine & Ale 6/20/15

I had a most excellent time with Mikey Gammon in New Braunfels tonight! The crowd was insane, and they kept us busy all night long. It was one of the best nights in recent memory! Mikey and I had fun, goofing around during some silly songs, and then we locked it in for some serious tunes. Thank you to everyone tonight who came up to us after we finished for all your kind words about the show!

Taxi's Piano Bar 6/19/15

Chris Wallis and I played at Taxi's Piano Bar tonight in San Marcos. We had a pretty good crowd with many odd requests. Chris was rock-solid, as usual, and he made the night super-easy for me. See everyone at the next show!

Moonshine & Ale 6/15/18

New Braunfels was the location of my gig this evening, at the newly renovated Moonshine & Ale! I had many unusual requests, but I still tried my best to play them all. The crowd was kind to me, and I want to remind everyone that I'll be back at Moonshine & Ale on Saturday night. 

Muddle 6/13/15

Roger Glenn and I had a great time in Waco, Texas tonight! The early crowd was there to dance, and the later crowd was there to sing. That kind of energy all night long makes the time fly by. Some people from San Marcos showed up as a surprise at the end of the evening! It was a fun evening.

Taxi's Piano Bar 6/12/15

Taxi Haskell and I did our request piano show this evening in San Marcos. I had a good time when all the dancers came in! They brought lots of good energy into the room. Thanks to everyone who hung out with us tonight!

Moonshine & Ale 6/11/15

Tonight in New Braunfels, nice weather brought in a later crowd, ready to request lots of standard tunes like "Jack and Diane" and "Friends In Low Places". Everyone seemed to be in good moods, so no complaints here! After the show, I headed to San Marcos where my buddy, Troy Stone, was hosting an open mic. I jumped up and strummed a couple of original tunes on his guitar to finish my evening. 

Moonshine & Ale 6/6/15

Joe Resnick and I performed the last show of the Grand Opening week at Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels tonight. Lots of people in, checking out the newly remodeled space, and generally having fun. We had multiple birthdays and many requests to keep the evening flowing. I hope to perform with Joe again soon!

Taxi's Piano Bar 6/6/15

DanHolmesGroup performed at Taxi's for a flood relief benefit from 6p-7p in San Marcos. They had live music by various acts in the club from 3p-2a. Chris Wallis originally couldn't make it to the show, so Noel "Doc" Vickers stepped in to drum. Chris surprised us by showing up, and so both drummers played with the band today! It was great! Kevin and Ian both held the show together, and the hour flew by. Thanks to the United Way for helping out with the concert. And thanks to Doc for filling in on drums!

Moonshine & Ale 6/3/15

The grand opening of Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels is finally here! Joe Resnick and I started off the night by performing from 6p-9p, and Matt Wilson & Mikey Gammon closed out the night with a 9p-midnight set. Six hours of non-stop, request driven, piano & drum excitement in the former AJ's Ale House, with free drinks to the crowd for the celebration. It was a landmark event, not only in the fact that it was the grand opening, but that the four of us were all in the same room at the same time! Fantastic!

AJ's Ale House 5/30/15

This was my last show at AJ's Ale House before they re-brand the club as Moonshine & Ale starting next week. Mikey Gammon played mad beats at the people, and it was fun playing with him, as always. He's a talented fella, and it's cool to see the crowd's reaction to his antics. The club was packed out tonight, and I'm excited to see the big club changes coming next week!

Taxi's Piano Bar 5/29/15

San Marcos was slow tonight, but Taxi and I still performed for the people who came out to have a good time. We had one person face-plant after a bit too good of a time, and everyone else remained upright and dancing. I had a few friends join me at the show, too, which is always nice. Hope everyone comes back out to Taxi's soon for some more great shows!

AJ's Ale House 5/28/15

Tonight in New Braunfels, I played lots of 80s pop tunes for some odd reason. Prince, Yes, Men At Work, Michael Jackson, Toto, Policeman  and many more were requested. I played them all, but now I feel like I need to go home and Jazzercise. 

Jack's Roadhouse 5/23/15

Record-setting rain and flooding in San Marcos didn't stop DanHolmesGroup from entertaining the crowd (and each other) last night. The guys all played with skill and precision, and many songs were opened up and jammed out!
We loaded in during the rain, played during the first wave of the storm, and loaded out during a brief clearing of the sky. The best part of last night for me personally was looking out in the crowd to regularly to see my wife singing along to my songs. She took some great photos, and then afterwards, we went to see how flooded our river was, and take a few pictures there, too. 

AJ's Ale House 5/22/15

Yeah! New Braunfels was kickin' tonight! Golden Mickey a.k.a. Michael "not a girdle" Gammon was on top of the show as he played drums and even rapped for the crowd. People sent up non-stop requests, and we played as many as time allowed. A big thank you to all who danced, sang, and generally stayed happy all night long!

AJ's Ale House 5/21/15

It was a pretty good Thursday night show in New Braunfels last night! Some of my favorite regulars were in the house, plus a bunch of people out just for the fun of it all. For some reason, one table was super loud from note-one (in a good way), and one lady was a little to touchy-feely (not so much in a good way). Everyone left happy, so I did my job well!

AJ's Ale House 5/16/15

So when I sang "Get Down Tonight" this evening, a man jumped on stage with Mikey Gammon and I to literally get down. Impressive splits weren't the only thing witnessed either.

A woman came up on stage and stuffed a request with a few dollars attached to it in her mouth.

A young couple of best friends had a standing/sitting competition for their birthdays.

Sunny danced for her birthday. Everyone now knows Sunny.

A woman pretended to be a different woman to help a third woman celebrate her birthday.

So many things happened while we played "Coppacabana", "Enter Sandman", "Summer Lovin'" and "Shake It Off" that it all became a blur. Fun show, especially since some of my family and friends came out to hang!

AJ's Ale House 5/14/15

I took a bunch of great requests tonight in New Braunfels from the crowd. Pop 80s and classic rock seemed to dominate the night. The only thing which made the night a little difficult was the piano had some keys which weren't working, so I had to think about every song's key before I played it so I could dodge the bad keys! Yikes!

The Woodlands Live At Night 5/9/15

DanHolmesGroup traveled to The Woodlands to perform at their concert series from 6pm-8pm called Live At Night. We had a fantastic time playing tunes from all of our records, including "Something's Going Down". Ian Lee on guitar, Kevin Humphrey on bass, and Chris Wallis on drums made my job easy and lots of fun. Those fellas know how to play!
My wife went with us to take some great photos and hang out at our merch table, and to meet up with our friend Lori who was in town from Indiana. Our biggest fan!
