Music options abound in San Antonio this week with an especially impressive offering of jazz. What are you waiting for, hep cat? Let\u2019s dive in and see where to bop. <\/p>\n
Thursday, Feb. 5<\/p>\n
Honey Bunny, Powdered Wig Machine, Fancy and the Fortunate Sons, The Westway<\/p>\n
This packed bill comprised of some of San Antonio\u2019s most interesting rock acts marks the debut of Locals Helping Locals, a new monthly live music showcase where SA musicians raise money for SA charities. Sounds like a sensible endeavor, no?

This one will benefit Magdalena House, which offers support and safe housing for women and children leaving abusive situations. $10, Rah! Rah!

Virginia Creeper, Elnuh<\/p>\n
Austin band Virginia Creeper named one of its albums People Love the Dallas Cowboys Because They Want to Love Themselves, which is pretty much a perfect album title. The group plays a refreshing and unpretentious brand of \u201990s-style of indie-rock. Which is to say, the guitars are big without overloading the listener and the vocals are strong without being drowned in histrionics. Thanks to quality songs with atmosphere to spare, Virginia Creeper is one to watch. Meanwhile, \u201ctrash gaze\u201d act Elnuh are one of San Antonio\u2019s best rock bands regardless of subgenre. $10, Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerosesa.com. \u2014 Bill Baird<\/p>\n

The Hot Sauce Band<\/p>\n

The group is led by vibraphonist Toro Flores, whom the folks at radio station KRTU have described as a \u201cSan Antonio living jazz legend.\u201d They aren\u2019t kidding, either. The man absolutely shreds on his instrument. Free, 8 p.m., Sancho\u2019s, 628 Jackson St., (210) 320-1840, sanchosmx.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n
