Welcome to the Journey
What up music lovers?! I’ll keep this first blog short. Very excited about MusicSeenSA and am eager for the upcoming weeks and months to experience the San Antonio music scene. I’ll admit that although I love music, I haven’t experienced the local music scene as much as I would like. This journey will be an exciting one and we invite you to take it with us. Whether you are new to the scene or an expert, join us as we learn about it together. Not only will the music be incredible, but we’ll get to know the people behind the music… the artists, producers, promoter, and the fans.
So come along on what promises to be an awesome ride! The crew, Lauren, and I are ready to exposed the little known but amazing San Antonio music scene!

Rock or Go Home!
Saturday was our big Rock or Go Home benefit concert for the San Antonio Food Bank and it was a huge success. It was at Hot Shot Billiards and it was full of people that wanted to listen to some great music and have a good time. The concert featured music from three local bands that rocked the house. We had two bands that were Battle Of The Bands winners and San Antonio’s own Father and Son band. Sin, Last Of Our Kind, and Memory Of A Melody were the amazing bands that performed. Having never seen Memory Of A Melody perform, I was defininitely surprised. They put on a great performance with their drums that had neon lights inside to the main singer juping on top of a table to sing to the crowd. I really enjoyed their music as well as their performance and I think the girls that were hanging around the stage did too. Last Of Our Kind (Look) as usual didn’t disappoint. I just love their music and was happy to hear them again. I know they have a huge following because when it was time for them to perform the floor in front of the stage was pakced full of fans. I have to mention Eric’s hair because it’s so fabulous. He loves his hair and so do I. Keep rockin your style Eric! LOOK mentioned that they are working on their demo and their first album should be out soon. Sin was the last to perform for the Rock Or Go Home concert and they were definitely worth the wait. They are so energetic and love interacting with the crowd whether it be walking into the crowd of fans or singing to one of their fans. Damien is always entertaining and unpredictable which makes for a great performance. Overall our benefit concert was a blast and we ended up raising a ton of money for the San Antonio Food Bank. Thanks to everyone that came out to support these locals bands and also a HUGE thanks to everyone that donated money for a great cause. See you at the next concert!
