Every Friday
from March through October for fifteen years, the Friday Afternoon Club at Gruene
Hall has helped start the weekend the
right way with a happy hour & prize giveaways, but the focal point of this
popular meet up for locals and visitors features Texas tunes broadcasted on-site
live by KNBT 92.1FM Radio New Braunfels from 4-7 p.m! Bart Crow will be an on-air guest before his
show on Friday,
March 8th.
Kick off the
break with musical legends, Texas Tornados, at Gruene Hall on Saturday, March 9th. With hits like “A Little Bit is Better Than Nada” and “Hey Baby Que
Paso,” the ultimate Tex-Mex super group is back! The Texas Tornados with their
infectious, party-ready sound, blending early rock & roll, Mexican folk
music, R&B, blues and whatever other roots music crosses their paths are
going to rock the legendary stage of the Hall.
The second Sunday
of the month means the Gospel Brunch with a Texas Twist at Gruene
Hall. Scheduled for Sunday, March 10th from
10:30-noon, The Gospel Brunch features live
music from Austin Gospel group, The Gospel Silvertones,
coupled with a mouth-watering buffet catered by Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar.
After the Hall has regrouped from brunch, country artist Bret Graham will take the stage from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., shortly followed by The
Whiskey Sisters CD Release at 5 p.m. – both are free shows.
Visitors can
opt to take it easy on any day of the week with a leisurely float down the Guadalupe with Rockin’ R River Rides or a casual day of shopping at a few of Gruene’s diverse shops. Gruene Antique Company offers unique finds from thirty different independent dealers, while Lone Star has an eclectic blend of Texas gifts and accessories. For a little lunch
break or an ice cold drink, Mozie’s offers a full bar along with a variety of delicious classics such as a
‘50s style charbroiled burger and Cantina Del Rio boasts some of the best burgers, Tex-Mex food and margaritas in town.
Gruene Hall has live music every night of the week.
Wednesday, March 13th marks the long awaited return of Ryan Bingham to the Gruene Hall stage. By the time Bingham came to Gruene Hall in
2005, he was already a veteran at heart. At 24 years old, the kid from Hobbs,
New Mexico had already traveled the world and soaked up enough song writing
material for a lifetime. Bingham played four-hour gigs in the front room of
Gruene Hall and wanted more. Now an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Grammy winner, he
is an artist to see in the intimate setting of the Hall. The show is sold out,
so we hope you have your tickets…
On Friday, March 15th, Roger Creager will stop by the Friday Afternoon Club
before he takes the stage for his Texas Fiesta. For more than a decade, Creager
has built a reputation on his distinctive brand of rousing Texas Country music
based on his rich, full-bodied voice that can carry a tune for miles. Creager
is playing both Friday and Saturday nights, and tickets are $25.00 apiece. Arrive when doors open for a
special acoustic set as well as fun times and games with Roger!
Before you
head over to the Hall on Saturday afternoon, make sure you stop by The Grapevine to
sample a few favorite Texas wines and, new this year, craft beers on tap. Offering up to three complimentary samples
daily, the Texas tasting room offers a large selection of wines from all over
Texas, so they bring the wine tasting tours to you in one convenient place!
Enjoy your wine or beer on the front porch, the patio or out in the garden to
the tune of live music on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. with Bret Graham. On the way out of town Sunday, make sure to stop by Old Gruene Market Days, which features nearly one hundred vendors offering a wide variety of unique items, collectibles and packaged Texas foods. The Market is open both Saturday and Sunday, March 15th and 16th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
