Each month at the Farm Street Opry, our house band showcases its impressive talent. With years of experience and a dedication to professionalism, we proudly affirm that our Farm Street Opry Band ranks among the finest in the Texas Opry circuit. Featuring Big John Mills on guitar, Ruben Hernandez on drums, Craig Schmidt on steel guitar, Gary Brock on electric bass, and Frank Cavitt on keyboard, our band brings exceptional energy and expertise to every performance. Individually, our band members have supported some of the biggest names in music, and many are accomplished singers and songwriters who infuse each show with their distinctive style and charm.

The Nash Hernandez Orchestra, founded in Austin, Texas in 1949 by Nash Hernandez, is one of the longest-running and most beloved big band orchestras in Central Texas. Known for its rich blend of traditional big band, swing, Latin, and Tejano music, the orchestra has performed for generations of Texans at weddings, festivals, political events, and community celebrations. After Nash’s passing in 1993, leadership of the band was passed to his son, Ruben Hernandez, who continues the family legacy. With a lineup of seasoned musicians and a vibrant, danceable sound, The Nash Hernandez Orchestra remains a staple of Austin's musical heritage—celebrating culture, tradition, and timeless tunes.
