Yup, the heat is still on down here in New Braunfels… So to ensure the hydration is fun and tasty, this Thursday, July 14, I’ll be over at Big Hops in New Braunfels for a Faust Beer tasting event. The evening will feature the Alex Meixner Polka Pils with Faust brewer Ray Mitteldorf and other Faust beers starting at 6 pm. There will also be an appearance and book signing by renowned beer expert/ author and Wu Tang Clan aficionado, Jeremy Banas! Come on over enjoy some beverages and hang out with some fun peeps!

On Saturday and Sunday, July 16 & 17 I get to be a sideman, playing bass with 5-time Grammy-nominated Lynn Marie and her husband E3 (Eddie Rodick the Third) from Nashville. I’m excited to play polkas and rocking party vibes with great friends from Nashville (and Cleveland) while anchoring the rhythm section with my old buddy Craig Ebel on drums for two nights at Krause’s. It’s been quite a few years since Lynn Marie has been in New Braunfels, so hopefully, everyone here gives her a big Texas welcome.

Keep an eye on the social media and YouTube sites to keep up to date on all the new stuff coming. The AC is working overtime in the studio as I’m getting a lot more new music prepared!!

One of the really cool things about being in New Braunfels is the excellent music community that is open to new kinds of collaborations. Every week, I’ve been gathering with a core of talented musicians, who also happen to be awesome people, and the fruits of our jams and hangs are the Intersections Jam Band performances at Krause’s Cafe.

This Sunday, July 10 we’ll be jamming for the public at Krause’s Cafe from 3-7 pm. It’s free admission and even with the hot weather we get a solid breeze and of course, have cold beverages including Faust’s Alex Meixner Polka Pils to compliment the great food and music!

I’ll be playing my accordion and trumpet along with Mike Atkins on Keys, Matthew Briggs on Guitar, Brett Cline on Bass, and Michael Morris on Drums. Our special guests will be New Braunfels music mainstays Zack Walther and Shawn Hart. We’ll be playing some Texas Tornadoes, some Springsteen, some Willie, some CopperBox, some Polkas, and a bunch of other stuff… Come on over and check it out!!

I’ve been busy on some new collaborations that will be releasing videos and recordings soon.  A little Gypsy Jazz, some Americana, and of course some rocking Polka stuff. Coming up I’m working on adding some new benefits for the Patreon peeps, as well as some more educational work! (Ie– social media will be getting more action soon– so make sure you’re subscribed to my YouTube channel)– and are following me on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter!
