Dan Holmes Group

 

Heather and I performed out in Fredericksburg this afternoon, poolside for the guests at Boot Ranch. We played from 5p-8p and had some great requests. Everything from Simon & Garfunkel to Taylor Swift was requested. It was a fun show for all the families out enjoying their day. After the show, we loaded out to the parking lot where four kids, about 11 years old, were just hanging out, laughing and talking. As I was putting the last thing in my truck, one of the kids walked up to me and said, “Excuse me, sir. I’d like to take a moment to talk with you about your vehicle’s extended warranty” and the walked off while I just stood there laughing. 

 

Live Band Karaoke was packed once again for our show tonight at Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels.  We met several new people, and got some great feedback about our show. I love performing with Pancho and Heather, and tonight was another great time with them. As a side note, Moonshine & Ale will be hosting an art show this Sunday starting at 4:30p, and Heather and I will both bring artwork for sale. Join us! 

 

Happy 4th of July, 250th edition! What a fun night! First, Heather and I played from 8:30p-10p while swapping off between piano and drums. Then at 10p, our good buddy Alex Lugwa joined us on drums. We had a ton of requests, and people in the crowd were feeling good. Towards the end of the night, a friend of ours, Sam Chapman, popped in after his gig at another venue and joined us on sax for the last couple songs. It was great to have him join us! When we finished, several people came up to let us know how much our music meant to them. Some were struggling with personal stuff, and others were just so happy with how much we put into our show. We appreciate all the kind words, and I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday weekend! 

 

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight to our show in New Braunfels, TX! You made the night great with all of your requests. Heather and I were making each other laugh during the hole show, and the crowd was full of characters out having fun on this holiday weekend. We will be back tomorrow night for our 4th of July show. See you then! 

 

We started off our 4th of July weekend with our Live Band Karaoke show at Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels, TX. There were lots of people in town, and we had some really good singers join us. Pancho, Heather and I always have fun on Thursdays with everyone. Heather and I will be back for piano bar both Friday and Saturday this weekend. Come celebrate the 4th with us! 

 

DanHolmesGroup performed from 7p-10p tonight in New Braunfels, TX, at Muck & Fuss. I had a lot of fun with Heather on bass, and our special guest for the evening, drummer Bert Wall. We had a good crowd, and my favorite tip of the night came from a young (maybe 3 or 4) year old who came up on stage between songs to put a sticker on each of our faces. I got a banana, Heather a lightning bolt, and Bert a flower which matched his shirt. It was sweet! We played three hours of original music and a bunch of my favorite cover songs. Bert sounded great, and I hope to work with him again in the future! 

 

Tonight, we had a bunch of our regulars and friends out to Live Band Karaoke. Frank, Elton, Lisa, Tameca, Blake and so many other singers graced our stage. Pancho played a cool tele in Fiesta Red, and Heather wore a Tom Petty shirt. I looked amazing in my Louisiana Music Factory hat. I think I just derailed my own blog.  

 

Alex joined Heather and me tonight in New Braunfels for our AllRequestPiano show! I think I switched off with Heather at the wrong times all night, mostly because we were having a good time playing all the requests. Alex is such a fun drummer and human being. It’s always nice to share the stage with him. I feel lucky to know people like both of them, and that we always have so many fans joining us at shows. We love you all! 

Heather and I had lots of fans in the crowd tonight. It’s always fun when everyone is participating with us throughout the show, and it was one of those type nights. We played everything we could, and Heather and I made each other laugh all through the show. At the end of the night, we made sure to sing “Happy Birthday” to our very own GM, Alyssa! She always makes things run smoothly, and she gets to have tomorrow off for her birthday, so we hope she gets lots of rest and has all the fun! 

 

Live Band Karaoke was fun tonight in New Braunfels. Pancho sounded great on guitar, as did Heather on drums. I started the night with “Southern Nights” and the crowd followed up with everything from “Choosin’ Texas” to “Mr. Brightside”. It was a good night all around!
