John Frinzi and Aaron Scherz return to The Habitat in 2026!

About the Show…

John and Aaron have been working together regularly for a number of years now ever since meeting at the Key West Songwriters Fest, and it is always a wonderful evening when they are both on stage at the same time!

About John…

John Frinzi blends folk, pop and country, delivering a sunny, laid-back beach vibe. A gifted singer and songwriter, Frinzi has built an audience through craft and originality. An early demo caught the ear of legendary pedal steel guitarist Doyle Grisham, a longtime member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, and their working relationship led to John’s first album, “Into The Dawn.” His second release, “Shoreline,” showcases Frinzi’s versatility as a songwriter and vocalist with many of the songs co-written by Tom Corcoran, co-writer of the Buffett classics,“Fins,” and “Cuban Crime of Passion”.

Most recently, John teamed up with multi-platinum songwriter and producer Aaron Scherz to release the EP “Blue Sky View” and a number of singles including “Florida Man”. Tracks from all of these albums remain in regular rotation on Sirius/XM’s Radio Margaritaville.

A seasoned live performer, Frinzi has toured nationally, performed in the Caribbean and Europe and has been featured at major festivals including Musikfest, The Keith Sykes Songwriters Celebration, Key West Songwriters Festival, Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival and has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Jesse Winchester, Mac McAnally, Ricky Skaggs, The Coral Reefer Band, Todd Snider and Maria Muldaur.

About Aaron…

Heartbreak proved to be a good career move for songwriter and producer Aaron Scherz, who recently scored his first No. 1 song with Dot Records duo Maddie & Tae’s gold-selling single “Girl In A Country Song.” “I decided to be a songwriter because a girl broke up with me in college,” Scherz says. “I thought, ‘I can write a song about this.’ So I bought a guitar and learned how to play. It was then that I discovered I really loved writing songs.”

Hit Songwriter/Producer Aaron Scherz always knew he was going to do something “different”, but he couldn’t have imagined that “different” would involve a multi-platinum Songwriting career! His artists credits include Maddie&Tae’s “Girl in a Country Song” and Leith Urban’s “Boy Gets a Truck” and of course all the songs he plays that “Kenny (Chesney) Didn’t”

Dan Sullivan Returns to The Habitat!

About the Artist…

The first time Dan saw the ocean he was five years old. It was down in Corpus Christi, Texas. He and his brother played in the surf and sang Beach Boys’ tunes at the top of their lungs. The Gulf of Mexico still haunts his soul and his music. So much so, that after college, Dan took his guitar and songbook out to sea working for various cruise lines. After two and a half years of sailing and salting, Dan landed in Austin, TX. It’s been home ever since. Inspired by the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Robert Earl Keen, and Jerry Jeff Walker, Dan co-founded the award winning duo and national touring act, The Detentions. Their songs Coast and Sunburned have been in constant rotation on Sirius XM Radio Margaritaville since 2014.

In 2025 Dan launched his solo career with his first album “Friendships.” It was awarded best album, song, single and album artwork by the Trop Rock Music Association. Dan also received the 2025 TRMA “Best Male Vocalist” and the “Horizon” awards. He has performed at songwriter showcases and festivals all across the U.S. including The Bluebird Cafe and the Kerrville Folk Festival. He has also opened for Hall of Fame songwriter, Mac McAnally and Texas legend, Joe Ely. When he’s not out on tour, you’ll find Dan with his toes in the sand in Port Aransas, Texas.
