The weekend is filled with the sound of music, and the crack of the old bat, and the crunch of the old chip. And pie. Or pie. We’ve seen more loaded weekends around here, and they’ll be coming back in a hurry.
It seems that theater and musical performances are really kicking up lately, and that goes well with baseball season, which means spring is here. It’s a good time to awaken love of life in one’s heart. Smile.
Should the Super Bowl be a national holiday? Is there anything else going on around here this weekend? There certainly is, so pace yourself, if you don’t want to sleep through the game.
The Crystal Creek Boys are San Marcos natives who could serve as Bluegrass Ambassadors for the city. They will be at the Gray Horse on Thursday with Shotgun Party.
Alt-Country rocker Keith Moody will stop at the Gray Horse Saloon, 1904 RR12, Thursday as part of his current tour. A native of Alabama, Moody hails from the same Chattahoochee River Valley that spawned the Black Crowes and Alan Jackson. Moody’s music reflects the region. Learning about music from his grandfather’s record collection when he was just a child could explain why such a young musician (he’s 28) claims his influences as Hank Williams, Tom Petty, Waylon Jennings, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Moody’s lyrics describe his life and feelings with a sharp eye towards honesty. His unflinching look at heartache and loss make his songs as moving as they are tuneful.
Maybe the world slows down a bit a week before Christmas, but we’ve still got commencements, shopping, music and lights for the weekend in San Marcos
The weekend is chock-full of fine events. The Veterans Day Parade in San Marcos has more than 78 entries, Java Jive is cooking up delicious foods and coffees, the music is particularly good this weekend and the weather? Well, it should be a bit crisp.
The San Marcos Public Library’s monthly concert features blues artists Mark McDade and Jenna Hill. The concert will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, right about when the polls close. Admission is free.
It’s Halloween and that means costume contests, Goth punks and homecoming at Texas State. We’ve got all that and more this weekend.
The weekend is a compendium of music, art, openings, music, carnivals, fairs, pumpkins, and other wonderful things to do in our gorgeous part of Texas.
