Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fellow music wanderers, I'm beat met. You're ever curious
compass to San Antonio's wild and wonderful music scene. Every week,
I'm on a mission to track down the deepest grooves,
the hidden hooks, and the live shows that keep this
city's heart thumping. After years of chasing everything from stadium
rockers to dusty back room jams, there's still nothing like
that moment when the house lights dim and the music

(00:22):
crackles into life. Let's talk what you can't miss over
the next seven days. To night October third, I'll be
tapping my boots at the Majestic Theater with country legend
Randy Travis. Tickets are hovering around one hundred and five dollars,
and trust me, you'll feel the history in those velvet
seats if you lean funky. The Mottlanders brings his soul
drenched sounds to Sam's Burger Joint at eight thirty p m.

the Aztec Theater. Not only is its art deco charm stunning,
but the sound always sparkles just right. My pick of
the week Lamont Landers at Zam's Burger Joint. The vibe
here is pure San Antonio, laid back, a little quirky,
with local beer always close at hand. If you want

(01:52):
to show that feels like an inside joke with the city,
this one's it. Local musicians. Keep your radar on Nylon
Skyline for Shimer since and don't sleep on Angelica Racal's
haunting vocals spinning at last week's open mic. She's on
the verge. I'm also rooting for Cactus Lee, whose cosmic
folk keeps popping up around Paper, Tiger and beyond. My

regular music pilgrimage looks like this. On Tuesdays, I'm at
the sp for Jazz Night, no cover if you arrive
before seven, and I'll catch the open mic at the Point.

for lounging at Grooney Hall, catching whatever band the breeze
blew in history in every shuffling footstep festivals. I've already

Music Crawl later this month. Three days, dozens of local
and national bands, and the ever elusive after parties that
make for the best stories, even if I can't remember
them all. Best kept secrets. Check the backyard at Brewster's
Backyard ice House, where impromptu late night sets are just

peeled for whisper gigs at Lonesome Rose on the West Side.
