Buy Our Latest CD "Last Stand" right here, right now!

Monkeyshyne is an acoustic/rock band of talent and personality that uses two lead singers to entertain and energize rock fans in Dallas, Texas and surrounding cities with their impressive harmony, bluesy acoustic rock sound and commanding stage presence. Their strong fan following has grown with each and every appearance over the past few years. The band is always regionally touring to expose themselves to everyone. One listener suggested "If you were to take Elvis and John Mellencamp and start an acoustic rock band, you would have monkeyshyne", and that really sums it up.

Many thanks to Scott Horn and Cliff Cook for the pictures

And we still play. And we still get to enjoy making music, and standing in the spot light every once in a while. I didn't vote for Obama, I didn't vote McCain. I did vote but I wrote my own name in. D...

How can I say thanks?

Really how does a band thank a fan or a friend for attending a show. Hopefully by making the show the best it can be... sometimes I think we don't deliver what is on the CD... we call it sloppy goodne...

Good Times

I decided to release one of our latest songs. Yes you will be shocked because it is just a remake of the theme song for Fat Albert, but man what a GREAT song. I hope Oz, Keith and I did it justice. An...

Oh What a Night...

I will be honest, Oz, and I only expected about 5 people at our 3/4 re-union show in Denton the other week. And that count included Kieth, but holy $hit were we surprised to see a few more than 5 peop...
