{New Braunfels} Post Steamboat Music

A new year brings New Braunfels an annual void of some of our talent that has planted their roots here, as the Dickson Productions’ “The Music Fest” in Steamboat Springs, Colorado typically happens during the second week of January. Last year, TX Citizen and myself (Music of New Braunfels) built a local music festival from the dust of those left behind during “Steamboat”, and we decided to take the concept of both building up a little jealousy of the folks that were able to go to “Steamboat”, and a welcome home for the folks that were able to venture to Colorado for a week, so we called it the “Blowin’ Off Steamboat Music Festival”.

This grew from a short evening conversation on Facebook into a fully planned and booked music festival in a period of less than 48 hours. Despite my inexperience and short tenure as a music blogger, we actually put together a really fun event, and managed to pull it off without too many issues.

This year on January 18th at Freiheit Country Store we’ll bring you full band shows by Tom Gillam’s Kosmic Messengers, Aaron Stephens, The Groove Hounds, The Hillbilly Jug Band, The Captain Legendary Band, Slim Bawb and 2-Way Street. There will also be many great song swap sets by some of our finest singer/songwriters, as well as some amazing sets from locals such as Alli Mattice, TBA (yes, TBA) and many more! There is a full line-up on musicofnb.com as well as more information about the event, such as the fact that all proceeds are going to the New Braunfels Puppy Playland and that we have some very generous sponsors such as The Hippy Gypsy Boutique, Rambling Gypsy Productions, and M&S Engineering that have helped us start out with a nice donation to the NBPP folks before we even start.
