Live music returns to Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston every Friday and Saturday evening in October 2026, at Shearn's and in the hotel lobby.

Live music fills Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston every Friday and Saturday evening in October 2026. Cindy Perkins plays Fridays at Shearn's Seafood & Prime Steaks, and Stephen Schaaf (Boo), Josh Galvan and Krista Sharpe take turns on Saturdays in the hotel lobby.
October Evenings runs from Friday, October 2 through Saturday, October 31, 2026. Whether you're planning dinner with Gulf views, a night out after a day at the pyramids, or a weekend stay on the island, here is the full schedule and everything you need to plan your evening.
Every Friday, live music plays at Shearn's from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Every Saturday, live music plays in the hotel lobby from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. That adds up to ten evenings of live music across the month.

Cindy Perkins performs at Shearn's Seafood & Prime Steaks on five Fridays: October 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Shearn's is the hotel's signature restaurant, with floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf waters. Reservations are required, and resort casual attire is required in the dining room.
Make a reservation at Shearn's to save your table.
Three artists share the Saturday lineup, and every night runs from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.



The lobby level also has the Lobby Bar, lush gardens, trickling waterfalls and fish tanks, so you can arrive early and settle in before the music starts.
Live music pairs well with a full day at Moody Gardens. Spend the afternoon at the Aquarium Pyramid and Rainforest Pyramid, then head to the hotel for the evening. If you would rather not drive back after the last song, book a room at Moody Gardens Hotel and stay the night.
Here's what you need to know before you go.
Ten evenings, four artists and one hotel on the Galveston waterfront. Pick your night, bring your friends and make October Evenings part of your fall plans at Moody Gardens.
