Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, I'm beat, Matt san Antonio's unofficial compass for all
things loud, lively, and local. Decoding this city's soundtracks is
my life's calling. There's nothing like trailing reverb through downtown
or stumbling onto a jazz trio playing under neon bar
signs at midnight. If you're here to crack the code
on where to catch the best tunes this week, you're

(00:20):
in the right hands. Let's kick things off with the
real scoop my recommendations for the next seven days. If
you're reading this on Friday, August eighth, tonight's the perfect
night to roll over to Fitzgerald's Bar and Live Music
Venue for their local showcase. Three energetic hometown bands, Mischief Soul,
Missing Echoes, and One More Surprise up their Sleeve are playing,

(00:41):
and it's my top Friday pick if you want a
friendly crowd and true San Antonio vibes. If you're planning ahead,
clear your calendar for a full trottle country blowout at
the Whitewater Amphitheater on Saturday to ninth. Randy Rogers Band,
Mark Chesnut, and Johnny Daily join up. Nothing gets more
Texas than that. Sunday to tenth Clay Hollis and Gunner

(01:01):
laid Them take the stage at the Rim. If you
crave dueling keys, Frost Cloza at the Rock at La
Contera is hosting dueling pianos by the Chameleon Band next Friday,
August fifteenth. Free entry and family and Spurs fans are
always in the mix there. Among my favorite venues, Fitzgerald's
consistently takes the cake. It's got the sticky floored authenticity.

(01:21):
Plus the sound is always crisp, not money. My pick
of the week live band Karaoke at the Rock at
Lacina on Saturday, August sixteenth, Utter Chaos, Maximum Fun. Audience
members can join a real band and try their luck
at rock stardom. Talking San Antonio's creative scene, I'm all
about the local acts lighting up side stages. I've got

(01:44):
an eye on the recasts, brilliant live shows, loads of
energy and playing the Starlighters soon. There's also Agarita, a
local chamber ensemble collaborating with world renowned guitarist Pablo Signs
Viegas at the Tobin Center and don't see on open
mic regulars at Sancho's Cochina Ecantina, who always surprised with blues,

(02:05):
poetry and original sets. My weekly routine is sacred. Tuesdays
are for solely chamber ensemble showcases at Trinity University's Ruth
Taylor Recital Hall. Always adventurous and fresh acts. This Tuesday,
August twelfth, Texas Music Office is presenting a showcase at
Lonesome Rose. Whenever they're involved, you're guaranteed something new and daring. Thursdays,

(02:31):
I let my hair down at Sancho's for late night sets, food,
drinks and tunes. Roll past midnight, talk about anticipation. The
Together for Texas benefit at HB Performance Hall August eighteenth.
Glenn's legends like Lyle Lovett, Lost, Lonely Boys, and Reckless Kelly,
a who's who of Texas music showing up for a
good cause. I've already blocked my calendar, but here's a

(02:53):
true beat map. Secret San Antonio's best shows dodged the mainstream.
Inner City Development Center hosts a occasional nights of music
and poetry, the kind that makes you feel part of
the city's heart. Try to find Abbas's greatest hits live,
organized more like a flash mob and announced by Live
Oaks singers on their socials for last minute finds, I scroll,
get creative San Antonio and check band Instagram stories. If
