On Monday 24 November 2025, Gene Watson praised Farewell Party Band member, Todd Hines.

‘We’re very blessed to have a great sound man (and drummer) in our band, Todd Hines.
Todd works hard before every show, making sure the sound system is set just right to make our show perfect for our fans.
You’ll also see him after the show, helping out at the merchandise table.
He’s one hard working guy (and also possibly the funniest one in the band!).
In the photo (above), he’s tuning the special edition guitars that we only sell at our concerts – so if you do want one of these, just come to the show, stop by the merchandise table and let them know there.
I’ll personally sign it after the show.
A big thank you to Todd for all he does for us!’
