Silverada return to Heartwood Soundstage on Jan. 31

The Austin band formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies books a Sunday evening in a 135-capacity room on South Main.

There aren't many chances to see a touring Texas country band in a room that holds 135 people. On Sunday, Jan. 31, 2027, Gainesville gets one: Silverada plays Heartwood Soundstage on South Main Street.

The basics: Heartwood's own shows page lists Silverada on Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. Tickets are through Opendate.

If the name is new to you, the band isn't. Silverada is the Austin outfit that spent years as Mike and the Moonpies. The group changed its name and released its first album under the new one, the self-titled *Silverada*, in June 2024, the Albuquerque Journal reported. Singer Mike Harmeier said the band spent its early years figuring out who it was. He framed the new name as the start of the next leg of the journey. Saving Country Music and Glide Magazine both covered the change, Glide calling the record an "ambitious" re-emergence.

This is also a return engagement. Heartwood's own event page shows Silverada played the room on Jan. 23, 2026, so the band is coming back almost exactly a year later.

Heartwood Soundstage, at 619 S. Main St., is about as close as a ticketed show gets to a living-room set. At that size, there's no back of the room to hide in. You'll hear every steel lick and every harmony, and the band can hear the crowd sing along. For a group that spent years earning its following in Texas dance halls and honky-tonks, a Sunday-evening set in a room this small is a treat.

The 6 p.m. start makes it an easy Sunday. You can get dinner after, and be home at a reasonable hour before the work week. With only 135 tickets in the room, don't wait until January to decide.
