April 10: Squeezebox Bandits
Like a Master Chef who pulls from a wide range of influences, accordionist Abel Casillas has created a sonic cuisine that reflects Texas’ rich musical tapestry. The Fort Worth native is best known as the singer/songwriter/arranger for Squeezebox Bandits, the uber-popular country/Tex-Mex quartet that includes Geoff West (guitar), Jesse Oca (bass), and Matt Calderon (drums).

La Frequenzia provides a live, fun, and energetic music performance. While more focused on the Latin genre, they are always continuing to expand and never limiting their musical styles.
May 8: Satellite
Satellite Band is a modern, classy, and ultra-hip five-piece wedding band from San Antonio, Texas. Hit after hit, Satellite’s energy is contagious, electrifying crowds and packing dance floors as they travel almost every weekend to perform weddings, parties, and events in all cities in Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Austin, McAllen, and the Texas Hill Country, to name a few.

June 22: Ashmore Rocks
Since debuting in the summer of 2004, Ashmore has played shows all across North America, spreading their love of all things rock-and-roll.

June 26: Vinyl Stripes
The Vinyl Stripes aren’t just about nostalgia; they boast a collection of “new original songs” that capture the essence of classics from that era. The trio, comprising guitar, upright bass, and drums, showcases all three members singing in three-part harmony! The Vinyl Stripes can include a fourth member, their sax player, whose rocking tenor saxophone adds another layer to their dynamic performances. From Rockabilly to California Surf music, Vintage Rock and Roll, and instrumental guitar jams, you will definitely get going to the sounds of the Vinyl Stripes!
