Third Annual Rammy Award Winners

It’s sort of sad that the Music Issue is my last full issue as the music editor at the Current. Going through each and every one of your ballots, finally, I felt like I was getting a handle on what makes San Anto’s music scene tick. I learned which metal band voted for themselves so many times that, had we not disqualified them after a duplicate IP address search, they would have won everything from best singer/songwriter to best electronic act. I learned that you guys have a pretty broad definition of what qualifies as jazz, R&B, and punk. You may also be confused about what a “music advocate” actually does. It seems as though country/folk/Americana acts are on the rise, given that musicians from those genres won broad categories like best vocalist, best singer/songwriter, and best album. Not to mention that Casbeers, which regularly books that type of sound, won best venue.

KSYM for Boysville - Local 782's Holiday Mixer, C4 Workshop Thursday, Dec. 9th, 6:30PM-9:30PM


http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=163419000362105

The San Antonio Music Coalition’s 3rd annual celebration of the season!

Since 2008, Local 782 has hosted an annual Christmas-time party open to the city’s music community, organizations, and supporters.

This year, the music coalition group expands on the tradition by encouraging attendees to bring gifts for the residents of Boysville Children’s Home, a shelter for youth who otherwise have no home, committed to “helping boys and girls become responsible adults”. Guests should bring new clothes and toys for boys and girls, from infants to young adult; gifts need not be wrapped.

The Local 782 Holiday Mixer will be held at C4 Workspace, 108 King William Drive, on Thursday, December 9th from 6:30pm to 9pm. DJ Cortez will be providing musical selections.
