This event should be pretty epic:

Big news for Shiner, the surrounding towns, and every Emotions fan from back in the day! 🎶🇺🇸

We are fired up to bring the original members of The Emotions back together for a special 50 Year Reunion this July 4th at the Shiner Brewery. These are the voices, players, and personalities that helped start it all back in 1976 — and getting them back in the same place again is something truly special.

The photo says it all. It’s the oldest known photo of the band, and it takes you right back to where this whole thing began — young musicians, a stage full of instruments, and a sound that would go on to pack dance halls and create memories for generations of fans.

This night is about celebrating the band, the music, the memories, and all the fans who helped make The Emotions what they became.

Come see the originals, relive the memories, and help us celebrate 50 years of The Emotions right here in Shiner.

🎸 The Emotions 50 Year Reunion
📍 Shiner Brewery
📅 July 4th

Tag your old dancing crew, spread the word, and come be part of a night 50 years in the making! ❤️🎤

This is Kurt and Christa, owners of The Cistern Hall. When you're married and operate a Texas dance hall together, you've got to learn how to operate all the tools. Naturally, this understanding keeps tensions from rising much.
