Tonight, we performed in Katy, TX, at Texas Rodeo Saloon for Live Band Karaoke! Our showtime is now 7p-10:30p which helped the show. We had quite a few singers join us on stage, and they had a contest going for top three singers. Pancho, Heather and I really always have a great time in Katy! 

 

It’s been a bit since we performed in Cedar Park at Rockin J, and it was fun! Our friends from the glow stick brigade showed up and stayed with us all night. It being Dolly Day (9-25), we had a couple Dolly songs requested, and a bunch of women came in dressed for the occasion. Heather sounded great as always, and I’m glad everyone had fun at our show.

 

Lots of people were in New Braunfels tonight for our Live Band Karaoke show. We pulled up everyone we could within our time to sing with us, and had some great singers. We will be back next week for more fun! Oh, and Frank sang twice with us tonight. 

 

We played Live Band Karaoke again tonight in Katy, TX  I was glad to meet several new singers, and a we had a bunch who joined us last week return. My sister-in-law joined us for a song, which was nice to have her up with us. The bar had a giveaway to the best singer tonight, and a guy named Alex won $100 from the judges. I spoke to one singer who told me it took her two bus changes and about an hour to come to the show, and she said she’d do it again for us. That made me nearly cry! 

 

We had a packed house for “Rock” night at Moonshine & Ale in New Braunfels, TX. Alex Lugwa joined Heather and I for the show, and we had some great songs requested. Everything from “Message In A Bottle” to “Twilight Zone” to “Give It Away” were all requested. Our friends from England who caught our show last night came back in for more tonight. We had lots of birthdays celebrating as well, and it was a good night all around! 

 

Heather and I had a good crowd tonight in New Braunfels, TX, at Moonshine & Ale. Special shout out to our fans from Manchester, who were in town tonight for a wedding between a Mancunian and a Texan. I was a Hoosier when I married a Mancunian, so it was great having them celebrate like Christine and I did! We had a great time with everyone, and we will return tomorrow night for more piano bar! 

 

Live Band Karaoke went well tonight in New Braunfels. Pancho, Heather and I welcomed our mutual friend Alex up for a song on drums tonight. He’ll be helping us out from time to time, so it was nice to have all of us together. Our various singers were enthusiastic, and we had lots of positive feedback from the crowd. Thanks to everyone for hanging out with us. Heather and I will be back for piano bar Friday and Saturday night! 

 

Our first Live Band Karaoke show took place in Katy, TX, tonight at Texas Rodeo Saloon. Heather and I explored around Katy after we checked out of our (weird) AirB&B, and had some great food at Babin’s Seafood House before heading to the club to meet up with Pancho with his amazing electrified guitar. My brother and sister-in-law came out, as well as my nephew who brought a friend. It’s nice to see them, and to meet all of our new fans who sang with us tonight. The sound system was fantastic, with a big thanks to the sound engineer Willie. We will be back the next three Sundays to have more singers join us on stage!

 

We performed tonight for a private event for Christian Brothers Automotive in Houston, TX, with Groove Labs production. I played an hour of light instrumentals while people were getting their food. Then after a short break, we started our request show. Heather played everything from “You’re So Vain” to “Brown Eyed Girl”, and I had “Time Of The Season” to “This Magic Moment” on my side during our dueling pianos event. They had us in front of the hotel, which was very hot, but everyone stuck around, danced, and sang along. We went back to our AirB&B (which was interesting, to say the least) after a quick visit with my niece and nephew who live in the area, and a couple of late-night tacos. Tomorrow, we perform our Live Band Karaoke show for the first time in Katy, TX, at Texas Rodeo Saloon! 

 

We made several new fans in Victoria,TX, tonight. We always love performing for all our friends and regulars at Moonshine Drinkery, and after the show, we got a chance to talk to several groups who told us how much they enjoyed seeing our show for the first time. One of our fans who couldn’t make it to the show sent her daughter in with homemade banana bread for us! It made Heather and I feel all warm and squishy inside. We really have the best people hang out at our shows with us. We left after the show and drove to an AirB&B in Katy, TX, for our next couple night’s shows, and realized quickly that there are no blinds anywhere in the house, so I guess a couple hours from now, I’m going to be very happy I brought a sleep mask with me. G’ nite!
