A Sampling of Astros Minor Leaguers Walk-Up Music

During the season when I was able to, I would open the SoundHound app on my phone and try to identify the walk-up music for some of our Astros minor leaguers. Unfortunately, I wrote my findings down on scraps of paper that ended up hither and thither. I finally managed to go through and write up a list of some of the walk-up music I heard throughout the season. These are in no particular order (until the end), and you can click on the image or link to hear a sample if you aren't familiar with the song

There were three songs that really stood out for me. First up, I already liked Matt Duffy, but when he walked up to a classic Led Zeppelin tune, I liked him even moreso! (A shout-out goes to Brett Booth as well for featuring a little Lynard Skynard.)

Matt Duffy - When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin

Although Chris Epps isn't an Astro anymore, I really liked his walk-up song. Some of them seemed a little cookie-cutter, but his stood out with enough funk to appeal to someone like me who was alive and listening to music in the 70's.

But one stood out above all of the rest. When I went to Corpus Christi for the first time in April this year, people in the crowd would actually giggle when Leo Heras walked up. My trusty SoundHound app couldn't identify the song so I asked Leo what it was. He didn't tell me the song, but the style is Mexican Banda music. Whether you love it or hate it, you've got to admit that it is different!

  2. Jon Singleton is forever connected to the Brinks truck and Collin Delome will always be the "Rhinestone Cowboy"! Some of the guys like to pick something that is interactive with the crowd or catchy.
