Overview

The Pendulum Hearts conjure up a hip-shaking, two-stepping cocktail of Country Swing, Honky Tonk, and Gypsy Jazz. Whether they're at a swanky night club, a sweaty honky-tonk or a rowdy backyard barn dance, the band pour their souls into every single performance each and every night.

A Foot-Stomping, Crowd-Pleasing Delight!

We had an absolute blast with Pendulum Hearts at our outdoor rehearsal dinner! If you're looking for a fantastic country western band for next your event, big or small, we highly recommend them. With their authentic sound, professionalism, and undeniable talent, they truly elevated the celebration with a skillful blend of Western Swing, Honky Tonk, and Jazz Manouche.

Aside from their talent as performers, they were also professional and punctual. Chase, the band's fearless leader and singer/guitarist, is a responsive, clear communicator. He and the guys arrived on time and set up quickly. Their sound quality was fantastic and perfect for the setting, i.e. not too quiet and not too loud. They were also super flexible with making space and time for speeches and a two stepping lesson my sister and her husband gave at the end of the night.

10/10 would book again.

Amazing Musicians, Stellar Customer Service!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! We had a Trio from Pendulum Hearts for our company holiday party and it was ah-mazing! Chase & his crew are.such.talented.musicians! We had them play for a few hours, so Chase also provided artistic direction and suggestions: like instrumentals for the first set while we were eating dinner, then add in vocals later in the evening. And their customer service was just incredible as the music -- well communicated, clear about expectations, easy to work with, timely with everything. I would book again and again and again without hesitation!

So fun, big crowd pleaser, great atmosphere!

They were super fun! Hired them for an outdoor Sunday Brunch family event for about 350 people, they came early with their own set up and played some great music. Very talented, super communicative and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely work with them again.

Pendulum Hearts was my favorite part of our wedding!

Pendulum Hearts did such a fantastic job playing for our wedding reception! They even learned a song for our first dance and performed it beautifully. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the vibe set by the band - and it was obvious by how many of them got out on the dance floor. They are each so talented, kind, and professional. Highly recommend!

Great band & Very Professional

I booked Pendulum Hearts for an opening event for our new corporate office in Downtown Austin. We had limited space and sound limitations and Chase and the band were excellent. They were accommodating of the space and sound limitations, showed up early, played a great mix of songs and different types of music, and were very friendly and outgoing with everyone. I highly recommend booking them for your next event!

Awesome Band!

We hired Chase and his band Pendulum Hearts to play at our home for a party…. They arrived on time, we’re super polite and played some of the best Country music I have heard in a long time. Friends of mine quoted that it was better than the George Strait event they attended on Friday night. Chase has a great voice and the band can play incredibly well!

What a great find Pendulum Hearts was! Johnny was so wonderful to plan with. When the weather turned iffy he kept in touch and was extremely flexible. The band arrived on time and set up quickly. The music was absolutely wonderful and they went with the flow of the party. They had a great menu of songs and styles. Something for everyone. A very talented group on musicians.

Pure Class

Pendulum Hearts played our daughter's wedding reception and they were the crown jewel of the evening, aside from the new couple. They were pure class and kept the guests thoroughly entertained all evening. I communicated with them throughout the planning process and they were always responsive and accommodating. I cannot emphasize enough how excellent they were from start to finish. If you have a special event, or just want to boogie down, they will certainly not disappoint!

We loved the Pendulum Hearts! They played at my husband's 50th birthday party, Johnny was so easy to work with and he was happy to help with any questions we had. They provided nice easy listening music during the dinner and fun hot jazz for dancing! They even learned a few songs for us! Would hire them again in a heartbeat!

About

If you are out among the neon signs of Austin's vibrant nightlife and you happen to see the name "Pendulum Hearts" glowing on the marquee, forget whatever else you may have planned for that night and scoot your honky-tonkin' butt into that venue. Night after night, the group tears through a hip-shaking, two-stepping triple-shot of Western Swing, Jazz Manouche and Rockabilly. The hard-hitting band consists of Chase Risinger (guitar & vocals) Tony Perez (fiddle) and a rotating cast of rhythm section players and soloists including notable names such as Josh Hoag (Asleep at the Wheel, Brennan Leigh) and Zack Sapunor (Dale Watson, Hot Club of Cowtown).

Since the tender age of 13, Chase Risinger has been charming audiences with his eccentric song-writing and guitar-playing. Navigating a diverse terrain of genres, he writes about everything from extraterrestrial love to cheap beer and Buddhism. With his contagious rhythms and imaginative melodies, he has carved out a unique sound to go along with his quirky crooning.

Tony Perez graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in musical performance and then proceeded to blaze his way into the Austin music scene. He is a furiously talented violinist who consistently works the crowd up into a frenzy with his lively and exhilarating solos. His expert playing seamlessly weaves from western swing to classical motifs, from red hot jazz to country fiddling.

Ludwig Van Beethoven once said "To play a wrong note is insignificant, to play without passion is inexcusable." This is the essence of the only rule in the Pendulum Hearts; never phone it in, leave it all on the stage and everyone walks away a sweaty mess. Whether you catch these hard-hitting cats at a swanky nightclub, a sweaty honky-tonk or a backyard BBQ, you're in for an energetic evening of whimsical song-writing, spirited solos, slap happy doghouse bass, and the undeniable urge to grab a partner and cut a rug.
