Band Update 

It's been a minute since our last post and there's been a few changes since then.  First off, I'd like to introduce our most recent member of the band, Ms. Deondra Selph.  She has recently joined us and will share lead singing duties with Dan (with a few duets for good measure).  We have been working feverishly to bring in some new songs that really show off her impressive singing abilities.  

As such, our song line up has been changing quite a bit and really taking full advantage of what our singers can do.  We've been really proud of the shows that we've pulled together in the past, but are super excited about this “next level.”

Our next show will be at Megaton Brewery on July 20th from 7 - 11 PM.  We love playing this venue.  It's indoors (away from the summer heat) with a great atmosphere, great selection of beers (and some wine) and there's usually a pretty awesome food truck there as well.  It's family friendly and there's no smoking allowed inside.

Please plan to join us if you can.  As always, we really appreciate your support.  You make this all worthwhile (and it's a great excuse to buy more band stuff - here's to our midlife crises!).

BTW… Deondra is in other bands including the aptly named Sound Warehouse.  Please keep an eye out for them.  Also, Chris (the sound guy and sometimes bassist) is also in another up-and-coming band called Head Bangerz Ball.  They will focus on all of those great 80s and 90s metal songs that we all banged our heads to back in the day.  Keep an eye out for them as I think their first appearance ever will be at Megaton later this summer.

Also, please support other live music in the area including bands like The Rock Hounds, Sector A, The Surrealtors, Rogue Elements and The Dadbod Band.

Megaton Show - August 26th 

51 Proof fans,

Last night was phenomenal!  We had such a great time playing to a packed Megaton Brewery.  For those able to attend, thanks so much for spending time with us.  We had a blast.  We think you did as well.  You had the dance floor hoppin' for much of the night.

That was our first show at Megaton Brewery but it won't be our last.  We're currently working with them on some new dates to play there so keep visiting our website for updates.

Our next show is currently set for The Cove on Hamblin Rd. on Friday September 22nd.  Hope to see you there!

Recent Changes & Upcoming Shows 

We've been on a bit of a hiatus after a personnel change in the band.  DJ has returned full time to The Dadbod Band and we wish him and his band the best of luck in their endeavors.  Please check them out when you get the chance.  They are a great band and have been a huge influence on us.

Meanwhile, 51 Proof is back and ready to play.  We've been working on some new and exciting songs for our shows.  Please see our current schedule on our web site's home page.  We'll be at Icehouse & Bar 1485 next Saturday evening and then at Megaton Brewery in Kingwood on Saturday, August 26th from 7 to 11 pm.

Hope to see you all there!!!

Recent Shows and Updates 

We had an exciting weekend at the end of April where we played at Icehouse & Bar 1485 Saturday evening (April 29th) and then at Kingwood Town Center Park for the Car Show hosted by Dr. Scott Mosby on Sunday afternoon (April 30th).  Back-to-back shows are exhausting, but we had so much fun.

We were scheduled for another show at Icehouse & Bar 1485 on May 20th.  However, we have have moved that and now our next show is scheduled at the same venue on July 20th.  This will give us some time to re-tool and learn some new songs.  See you all soon!

Car Show Postponed 

Unfortunately, The Kingwood Car Show has been postponed to next week, Sunday April 30th, due to the potential for rain.  Please join us next week.

On happier news.  We had a great time at The Cove last night.  We'll be posting pictures in the coming days.  Stay tuned!

51 Proof at The Cove and Town Center Park 

We're gearing up for a great weekend of fun, friends, cars and music.  Come join us Saturday night at The Cove on Hamblen Rd starting around 6 PM to rock the night away.  Then come see us at Kingwood Town Center Park as we play during the Car Show sponsored by Dr. Scott Mosby.  It's going to be a great time!  Hope to see you there.

Recap From The Cove - Saturday February 11, 2023 

Thanks to those able to make the show last night.  We had a great time and it was nice to see so many of you up and dancing to our music.  That is what we live for.

We'll be posting select photos from the event on the website, so please keep checking for news and updates.

We're looking forward to our next show at the Icehouse and Bar 1485 on  March 4.  We hope to see you there.
