Downtime Update

Faust Brewing CompanyAfter a great Texas tour at the beginning of February, I’m sorting through the audio and video from the live taping of our Brauntex show and really looking forward to what’s going to come together for the live CD/ DVD. Special thanks to our great friends at Estes Audiology for their support of the concert– as well as Schlitterbahn and The Faust Hotel & Brewing Company for their assistance.

At the same time I’m trying to keep up with all the new bookings coming in, rehearsing new music and my kids here at home! It’s great to see such positive response from so much going on here! For the remainder of March, I’ll be concentrating on a few private performances. (Everything from a corporate convention to some solo house parties) — as well as putting some more new music together!

Polkafest at Sea 2016In the meantime you can mosey on over to the cruise details page to check out all the fun we’ll be having on our upcoming Polkafest at Sea cruise with the Mikulas and Dujkas from Texas. There are 2 different organizations raffling off tickets for the cruise. You can roll the dice on your raffle tickets or you can ensure that you’re definitely going by buying your spots on the cruise and cash out your prize (or bring some more friends!!!) It’ll be a great time.

interactivealexSpeaking of a great time– if you need to have some fun in front of your computer screen –head over to the new interactive Hormel Pepperoni One Man Band page. The kids have been having fun playing with it..

There’s a bunch of new performances being added very regularly, so make sure you’re following me and the band on social media and at the website. I’m really excited about all the places we’ll be travelling this year.

 

A Peppy Start to the Year!!!

Hormel Pepperoni Commercial ShootBy now, most of y’all have seen it on television or online and through social media, but for those of you who haven’t– I’ve taken on a new role as the “One Man Pep Band” for Hormel pepperoni. I’m really excited about this gig and am thankful for the opportunity and support from all my fans and friends– especially my kids who are excited about seeing Daddy on television… (I got major cool points when my commercial showed up on Nickelodeon this week!!)

With all of that– just want to remind everyone to check out the arrangements for the Western Caribbean “Polkafest at Sea” cruise. Although The Alex Meixner Band doesn’t take to the waters with the Mikulas and Dujkas until November, we only have a few months till all the reservations must be complete, and if you want in on an extra level of fun, VIP status bookings must be complete by the end January 2016 (VIP gets a private cocktail party w/premium liquor and snacks plus a commemorative t-shirt). Come join the fun! We have a lot of fun people signed up- and the bands are all ready to put on their “A” games for ya!

Brauntex February 2016Also– we’re preparing for the Live recording at the Brauntex Theatre for our Fat Tuesday show on Tuesday, February 9. Getting an actual set list together so we get all the most requested tunes– and also I’ve been writing some new tunes and arrangements. This is a pretty epic event for the band! So, make sure you have your tickets for the big show as they’re moving fast! There’s a special deal with Schlitterbahn Resort in New Braunfels for out of town guests… check it out here!

Polka Bowl 2016Speaking of getting tickets and coming to gigs– I have an unusually busy few weeks here– a few gigs in Florida– (This Saturday is sold out in Port St Lucie), Cape Coral German Club and a local gig at Terra Fermata in Stuart before heading out to Panama City Beach for a rocking Fasching night at the Hofbrau Beer Garden. Tickets are available at Main Street Crossing in Tomball (An awesome, intimate listening room!), The KJT Hall in Ennis (an old school Czech dance hall) and 2 new venues for the band– The Houston Liederkranz and Round Top Rifle Hall — where we’re doing a very special Super Bowl party and taping for a documentary!

Check out the website at www.alexmeixner.com for the schedule and the merch— because nothing goes better with your pepperoni than drinking your favorite beverage from our adult sippy cups, while wearing a “Why Die Thirsty” t-shirt and listening to a Happiness is a Choice cd!!

Love y’all!
