Galveston Music Scene

Many first-time visitors to the Island may be surprised by all the Live Music Galveston has to offer, from rocking Dance Bands to Jazz Trios to Piano Bars. Galveston also has some of the area's top solo performers who play most every night somewhere on the Island and one of those performers is Rodney Haines.

Rodney’s journey in music started at an early age, listening to his parents’ albums and 8 tracks at home.

He began singing in church and started playing the drums in 5th grade. 

In Jr. High he formed his first band with some classmates and never looked back. Upon graduating High School, he joined with a local bar band, as the main singer. 

After bouncing between bands for a few years, he landed with a band called Shotgun Charlie in 1996. They became a popular group in the central Illinois bar and festival scene. 

In 2003 they started coming to Galveston on vacations, where they would play shows at local bars such as Cruiser’s in Santa Fe and Shorty’s on the dike in Texas City.

In 2015, after being laid off from his job in IL, he and his wife Terry made the move to Texas. Upon arriving, Rodney picked up his guitar and began playing acoustic shows around Galveston County. He can be found most weekends singing some of your favorite songs on local patios.
