Happy New Year 2017!



Happy New Year, San Miguel de Allende karaoke fans! On January 13, Karaoke Annie Entertainment will celebrate our 4th anniversary of Friday nights at The Beer Company (Ancha de San Antonio #17) and we may be starting soon at a new venue on Tuesday nights—stay tuned!

Some of you have requested that I post the complete songbook in PDF form because it’s been a while since we’ve updated the lists on this site, so here they are! Links are below. Let me know directly or in the comments if you have any issues accessing them.

In 2016 we added several hundred new songs in Spanish and English. We upgraded our microphones. We welcomed local celebrities Johnny Favourite and Lady Zen, as well as world-touring Dutch cabaret performer Frans Bloem. And we supported new Beer Company owner Harold James with a great crowd every Friday night all year long! Special thanks to Victor Guzman and Aarón Romo for subbing for me during my trips to the U.S. in June-July and in November-December. And thanks to all of you for showing up, singing, eating, drinking, and contributing to the tip jar—you make it all possible!

Here’s to a whole new year of musical merrymaking in San Miguel de Allende. ¡Salud! ¡Viva México!

Singing show tunes helps fight off dementia

A recent research study found that those suffering from moderate to severe dementia did particularly well singing show tunes from movies and musicals such as 'The Wizard of Oz,' 'The Sound of Music' and 'Oklahoma!' in group settings and had a marked improvement in their remembering skills versus those who simply listened during the sing-alongs. 
BY   NEW YORK DAILY NEWS (Tuesday, November 12, 2013, 8:01 AM)
Julie Andrews from ‘The Sound of Music.’ Researchers found singing along
with show tunes helped with dementia.
The hills are alive with the sound of music, which could help people with Alzheimer's stave off the effects of the debilitating disease. 

A study by U.S. scientists has shown that the brain function of those suffering from dementia can be improved if they belt out their favorite show tunes. 

Researchers working with elderly residents at an East Coast care home found in a four-month long study found that people who sang their favorite songs showed a marked improvement compared to those who just listened. Among the songs sung during 50-minute sessions were hits from "The Wizard of Oz," "Oklahoma!" and "The Sound of Music." 

The most improvement was among those sufferers with moderate to severe dementia.

Jane Flinn, one of the scientists involved in the study who works at George Mason University in Virginia, concluded singing was beneficial.

“Even when people are in the fairly advanced stages of dementia, when it is so advanced they are in a secure ward, singing sessions were still helpful,” she said.

“The message is: don't give up on these people. You need to be doing things that engage them, and singing is cheap, easy and engaging.”

A scene from the musical ‘Oklahoma!’ Seniors who participated in a show tunes
sing-along showed improvement in their memory skills.

¡Feliz Año de Karaoke 2015! Happy Karaoke New Year 2015!

Ahora aqui estamos en el año nuevo de 2015 — ¿y qué vamos a hacer con nuestras horas libres? Pues, vamos a cantar! 

No queremos decir adiós a nuestros amigos de Skyhrose!
We hate to say goodbye to our Skyhorse friends!
El 2 de Enero en The Beer Company fue la primera noche de karaoke del año nuevo en San Miguel de Allende, y no pudo ser más genial. Tuvimos el grupo de viajeros mundiales que viajan en un camión fantástico al que  nombraron "Skyhorse" (adventuresinskyhorse.com) y que pasaron su última noche en San Miguel con nosotros.

También asistieron varios clientes regulares y dos familias completas, además de una "virgen de karaoke" que cantó su primera canción enfrente de la gente...¡que padre!

Pero sigue una celebración más grande el próximo Viernes — el 2º aniversario de karaoke con Annie y Aarón en The Beer Company! Te recomiendo llegar temprano porque hay sólo 24 sillas, más o menos, y puedo garantizar que el bar va a estar lleno. Además de la diversión de siempre, con la música, la comida y por supuesto las cervezas de todo el mundo, vamos a ofrecer premios y sorpresas, y tambien vamos a anunciar a los miembros del salon de la fama karaoke de 2014.

No faltes, el Viernes 9 de Enero de 7pm a 12am en The Beer Company!



Here we are in the year 2015 — and what shall we do with our free time? For starters, let's sing!

Liz's first karaoke experience,
with backup singer Kelley "El Pipe"
January 2 at The Beer Company was the first karaoke night of the new year in San Miguel de Allende, and it couldn't have been a better time! We had a group of world travelers who travel around in a tricked-out RV they call Skyhorse (adventuresinskyhorse.com) who spent their last night in San Miguel with us. Also in attendance were several of our "regulars" and two families, plus a "karaoke virgin" who sang her first song in front of an audience...so cool!

Maya and Juanito
But an even bigger celebration follows next Friday — the 2nd anniversary of karaoke with Annie and Aarón at The Beer Company! I'd suggest getting there early because there are only 24 seats, more or less, and I can guarantee the bar will be packed! Along with the usual fun music, food and of course beers from around the world, we'll offer door prizes and other surprises, and we'll announce who made the 2014 Karaoke Hall of Fame.

Don't miss Friday, Jan. 9, 7pm-12am @ The Beer Company!
