Last weekend I made my inaugural trip to Leavenworth, Washington for their Accordion Celebration. It was a wonderful time and I hope to return again in the near future. Great concerts, jam sessions and wonderful to see some old friends from Kimberley, British Columbia as well as to meet new friends. I sold out of all the CDs and DVDs I brought so hopefully y’all find the stuff you were looking for on my online store!!

After a long flight home, Tom and Paddy came over to rehearse for our little set on Friday at Terra Fermata, a local tiki bar/ music venue here in Stuart, FL. We’re looking forward to playing a bunch of the original tunes from the Make Some Noise album as well as some other favorites before FreakBass hits the stage. Advance tickets are $15, tickets at the door are $20- if they’re available. It should be a super fun show.

I’m getting extra time to practice and write new music and arrangements lately. It’s awesome to keep working on progressing on this journey in my work. Thank you to everyone supporting the shows and buying the merchandise. We hope to have a bunch of new shows to announce soon. If there are venues where you’re hoping to see the Alex Meixner Band, keep checking in to see if we’ll be out there!!

It sure has been an awesome past few weeks! Thank you to all of my friends on the well wishes for Paula and I on our marriage. We had a beautiful ceremony and reception with the families and a few people that were able to meet up with us in Fort Worth, Texas, but are looking forward to continuing the celebration in our life together. I’m blessed to have such an amazing partner in life for me and my children.

It is nice being home for a bit before my major band touring for the summer kicks back in but in the meantime, I am preparing for a few cool gigs coming up.

I am making my first trip ever to Leavenworth, Washington for their infamous Accordion Celebration. I will be adjudicating, conducting a clinic and performing a solo concert in addition to enjoying all of the other artists including my good friend Gary Blair from Scotland.

After coming home, I have a little set opening for FREEKBASS at a local tiki bar/ music venue close to my home in Stuart, FL at Terra Fermata. Paddy and Tom are going to be in town so we’re going to jam with a bit of funk, jazz, polka kind of stuff! It should be a blast.

Outside of all of that, I’ve been busy writing some new music and preparing for recording sessions with my buddy, Zupe for his upcoming record. Keep your eyes open for it and choose happiness y’all!
