Looking for Andy Cool. The Aztec Theater hosts Role Model
on Thursday ten second. My venue of the week, Sam's
Burger Joint. The burghers are nearly as good as the acoustics,
and the calendar is stacked. Petersen Brothers through ten second,
Cowboy Mouth through ten ninth, and The Whaler's wed ten fifteenth.

My secret spots the star Lighter is tucked away off

(02:52):
the main drag and it's my haven for experimental sets
and spoken word vibes, underground hosts, genre defining acts, and
the occasional drag cabaret on Saturday nights. If you hear
about a show at five zero two Bar or Fitzgerald's,
don't think, just go. They're my surprise hunter sanctuaries for
last minute shows. I keep my ear glued to local
Facebook groups the Sam's Burger Joint Instagram feed. They often

(03:15):
post door only tickets and text my network of bartenders
and band managers. I always check Shazam events and sneak
looks at the rock calendar from San Antonio Current. If
all else fails, I simply swing by the Lonesome Rose.
