Finding a kid-friendly Karaoke gig is not easy. Even the legendary Big Mama’s Karaoke Cafe — home of Chartbuster Karaoke — had to close down in 2011 after 11 years in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The problem is simple — a DJ’s time isn’t cheap, Karaoke discs aren’t free (or at least, they’re [...]

Quick update: Texas Star turns out to be just as late as everyplace else, nominally starting at 9pm, and definitely not for kids. But it’s still awesome. Karaoke is definitely a late-night activity, at least the way it’s done around here. It’s seen by bar owners as a way to induce patrons to imbibe larger [...]
I’m trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good... I want to do a large-scale writeup of every Karaoke night, but all I end up with for my efforts is a half-written draft on my desktop, and nothing on the blog. So here’s the first installment of a hopefully-frequent blog entry: [...]

I got a quick note from Carmen Gulledge, the fiery Karaoke DJ at The Goat, which I’ve raved about several times. She has a once-a-month Karaoke gig at White Rock Grill, 718 N. Buckner Boulevard in Dallas. It’s the second Friday of the month, so the next time around is this week. And it’s early: [...]

Email may be SOOOO 2007, when all the cool kids are on Facebook, but email is still an effective way to stay in contact. Many Karaoke DJ’s include a spot on their song slips for an email address... but then never get around to sending updates. Bad move! If you’re in business (any business), you [...]

The plan was simple — I’d go sing at Amelia’s Mexican Cocina in Rowlett, then follow it up with a couple of rounds of Dance Dance Revolution at the Bowl A Rama right down the street. I even called Amelia’s, which has the best Tequila Sunrise in town, to make sure their Karaoke still started [...]
The anticipation was killing me — after singing a few songs to an empty house at Señor Jalapeño’s, late on a Saturday night, I was *so* ready for the next Friday’s Karaoke night. Just a few blocks from home, in a quiet neighborhood in Mesquite, the homestyle Mexican restaurant isn’t a typical Karaoke venue at [...]
When my mom reported what she saw, I could hardly believe it. Señor Jalapeño’s, the little Mexican restaurant and donut shop on the corner of Town East and Motley in Mesquite, had a sign in the window: “Karaoke Friday and Saturday”. There couldn’t be a more convenient Karaoke location — it’s a half mile from [...]
