Tonight’s Best Bet

San Marcos is usually a smorgasbord of delicious musical treats on Saturday and tonight is no exception. Of course, the big gun tonight is the troubadour of Americana, James McMurtry. His compelling, edgy songs stand in contrast to his delicate and soulful guitar work with a sweet and salty mix that will move and delight. If you’re looking for roadhouse music then Ruby Dee and the Snakehandlers will more than fit the boot-scootin’ bill. If bluegrass is your passion, you won’t want to miss Whistle and Fish, Fire In The Pines and Old Gray Mule at the Texas Music Theater.  The nimble-fingered Big John Mills will astound with his fretwork at the Happy Cow. You just can’t miss tonight!
