AYER Y HOY KARAOKE began a little over a year ago. It's founder is myself, Joe G. Gonzalez from San Benito, Texas. I'm the former lead singer of "La Distancia" Band, a very popular Tejano/Variety band from the 80s and 90s, and I'm assisted by my friend and "La Distancia" keyboard player, Harvey Dominguez.
I came up with the name Ayer y Hoy because I wanted to emphasize a range of songs from the past to the present. The repertoire of songs available ranges from the 50s to the present, in English and Spanish. The music includes Rock n Roll, Emo, Rock Alternative, Oldies, Pop, R&B, Old Country, Modern Country, Tejano/Norteno, Tropical, Rancheras, etc. There are over 4,000 selections from which to choose from.
AYER Y HOY KARAOKE has performed at Sombrero Fest in Brownsville, Texas, BorderFest in Hidalgo, Texas, RioFest in Harlingen, Texas, Fat Boyz Club and I-69 in Harlingen, Texas, as well as Friendz Sports Bar in San Benito, Texas. We are presently gigging at the DOWNTOWN BAR & GRILL in San Benito, Texas on Thursdays from 8:00p.m. to 12;00 a.m., THE HOLLYWOOD CLUB in San Benito, Texas on Fridays from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30a.m., and on Saturdays at THE GAS STATION from 8:30 p.m.- 12:30a.m.
In closing, I'd like to invite the public to stop by and check us out. Whether you're there to enjoy the show or you just want to have a good time, remember that karaoke is not about how good you can sing, it's about getting together and having a good time!
