Last night on my way home I stopped at Port Aransas VFW Post #8967! I caught Carson Miller and the Coastal Cowboys in action last night and they absolutely rocked the house. Huge shoutout to William Miller for the reminder to go check them out because these guys really know how to put on a show. If you missed it or just want to relive the energy you can head over to my website for the full recap and photos.

What an incredible night of live music at the Hide Out in Rockport! The energy was electric as Rip Tide, Randy Hopper, and Aaron Boultinghouse took the stage and delivered some truly outstanding performances. Capturing the passion and talent of these musicians through my lens was an absolute joy. A huge thank you to Holly for providing such a fantastic venue for the community to enjoy. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was amazing, making the entire experience even more memorable.
