I did something a little unusual today. I sat down on Zoom for an interview with Matt Wilson for his podcast “On The Hook”, which is something he started earlier this year to promote his book, “Hooks”. He wanted to pick my brain about the way I approach building and promoting my brand, including both AllRequestPiano and DanHolmesGroup. It was a great conversation, and we spoke for almost 2 hours! I’ll post a link to it when it becomes available. Also, a big congratulations to Matt for writing a book. That’s no small task! 

We played in Georgetown, Texas, to cap off our weekend gig schedule. We played everything tonight from a Aretha Franklin to Cyndi Lauper to Metallica, and that was literally just the first three songs of the night. It’s a really cool room, and the people are very nice there, which made the evening flyby. We got a chance to try their pizza for the first time tonight, and we both enjoyed it! Early on, I got a standing ovation, because one person standing and clapping counts, right? By the end of the night, as people were leaving, they made sure to tell us how much they enjoyed the show. My favorite compliment was, “You both are lyrical magicians!“ Hey… I’ll take it! 

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh… You say it’s your birthday! Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh… It’s my birthday, too, yeah! Heather made my birthday gig in New Braunfels so much fun! She and I click so well, and the crowd had a great time listening to our music and making each other laugh. This has been an amazing birthday between what Heather and Christine did with me today, including gifts and pizza (before the gig) and a million laughs. I’m the luckiest! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Heather and I joined up with Pancho for Live Band Karaoke for a special Thanksgiving show. There were several new singers joined us throughout the night, and people started wishing me happy birthday! I felt special! 

A Wednesday night show before Thanksgiving? Yes, please! Heather and I played to a packed room on this rainy night in New Braunfels. People went kinda crazy all night for our show, and we played with every ounce of energy we had from 8:30p til midnight. Heather was amazing, and we both will be back tomorrow for Live Band Karaoke!
