Sandy Boots

Stoney Gabel is a storyteller at heart, a humorist by nature, and a Texas-born entertainer who brings a unique blend of country roots, coastal spirit, and comedic charm to the world of Trop Rock. As the creator and host of Sandy Boots Radio Show presented by Key Mid West and The Fleming Street Flop House on Radio Trop Rock, Stoney has carved out a niche that’s as refreshing as a Gulf breeze and as grounded as a pair of dusty cowboy boots on a front porch.

A proud native of Texas, Stoney’s love for storytelling began on the back roads and back porches of the Lone Star State. Influenced by traditional country, folk, and Americana, his voice carries the depth of a seasoned songwriter and the humor of a well-traveled troubadour. But it was his discovery of Trop Rock — that coastal-infused, good-vibes-only genre blending island rhythms with country soul — that truly gave him a home for both his music and personality.

Stoney’s Sandy Boots Radio Show presented by Key Mid West and The Fleming Street Flop House brings listeners a mix of great tunes, thoughtful conversations, and the kind of down-home storytelling that feels like a backyard hangout. It may be the only show in which it is not uncommon to hear farm animals in the background. His radio show has earned critical acclaim within the Trop Rock community, even earning the Trop Rock Music Association Award for Recorded Radio Show of the Year — a testament to his growing influence on the genre.

Off the air, Stoney is just as active in the live music scene. He’s the founder and host of Evenings with the Songwriter in Lockhart, Texas — a unique series of intimate performances that showcase both emerging and established singer-songwriters in an atmosphere that encourages stories, laughter, and deep musical connections.

From the shores of Galveston to the hills of Central Texas, Stoney Gabel’s reach continues to grow. His performances coast to coast shows his versatility — able to make crowds laugh, sway, and reflect, frequently all in the same set. Whether he’s singing about love, life, lazy days by the water, goats, or a dessert bar, there’s always a twinkle in his eye and a story behind the song.

Stoney Gabel is more than just a voice on the radio — he’s a bridge between the campfire and the coast, between the honky-tonk and the tiki bar. With authenticity, wit, and an unmistakable Texan spirit, he invites audiences to kick off their boots, sink their toes in the sand, and enjoy the ride.

Stoney Gabel’s Sandy Boots Radio Show presented by Key Mid West and The Fleming Street Flop House airs every Tuesday at noon Central (with a replay Wednesday at 6 PM) on Radio Trop Rock.
