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!

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 happy ass into that venue and get ready to get down and boogie. Night after night, the group tears through a hip-shaking, hot-swinging, two-stepping triple-shot of what they refer to as Alt-Country Swing.

Since the tender age of 13, Chase Risinger AKA Johnny Dioxide has been charming audiences with his eccentric song-writing and creative 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. Simply put, Tony is the man.

Josh Hoag is a two-for-one special, not only does he fill in the low frequencies on his upright bass, but he's a percussive slap master as well. When the band is playing as a trio he carries the rhythm section entirely on his shoulders and it sounds gooooood. Hoag cut his teeth playing for Asleep at the Wheel for 10 years, and he has shared the stage with such legends as Willie Nelson, George Strait and Paul Simon.

Cabe Irvine is the drummer everyone wants in their band. Calm, cool and collected when he's chugging along on a train beat or a hot swing tune, the dimension he adds to the show is undeniable. He keeps the dancers going, he keeps the other musicians honest and when it's his time to solo lookout, its a firework show.
