The Ruta Maya Riverwalk Grand Opening four night pachanga!

from Ruta Maya:

We’re in a festive mood and we want you to join in on the fun. To celebrate our official grand opening, we have organized a jam-packed lineup of bands and performers over four fantastic nights starting this Thursday, March 30. There is no reason why you should be bored this weekend:

Thursday, March 30 @ 8pm

Make San Antonio Weird

A spokenword circus featuring some of the finest performers in the country. Such as Da Shade, star of the film “Slam Planet”. Or Austin Slam Champ Mathew Conley. Or Michener-fellow, Phil West. Or twenty other, top-notch performers. Also featuring the Haiku of Delphi! Prizes! Giveaways! It’s a spokenword circus! Hosted by Amanda Flores (ninja) and Rich Perin (2002 best local poet, San Antonio Current). Only $3!

Friday, March 31 @ 10pm

The Groove Movement

Take jazz, blues, rock, funk, reggae and soul and you have the sound of The Groove Movement. A favorite of Ruta Maya Austin, this will be our live music kick-off event! Only $5!

Saturday, April 1 @ 10pm

Bombasta & Sexto Sol

No, this is no April Fools. Two dazzling bands that will activate the shake in your booty. Both are known for their electrifying live performances that leave audiences mesmerized. Amazing Latin-groove music! Brass sections! Percussion crazy! Some people go to the gym. Some people dance. Only $5!

Sunday, April 2 @ 9pm

Girl in a Coma

If you haven’t seen the Girls live yet, this is your chance before they hit the big time. Okay, so you can compare them to the Manchester sound or talk about their melodic pop sensibilities but, if we’re honest, they’ve invented their own sound that uniquely captures San Anto. Boz Boorer, Morrissey’s guitarist, has recorded them. Joan Jett digs them. Why wouldn’t you be at this show? All Ages. Only $5!

Wow! So much fun! Come on down and join in! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity: The Ruta Maya Riverwalk Grand Opening!

All shows 18 & up except where noted.
