The Lonesome Rose is celebrating seven years on San Antonio\u2019s St. Mary\u2019s Strip with a four-day music festival featuring performances by Texas and local acts playing anything from country and Tejano to indie, psych-folk and beyond.<\/p>\n

SA soul purveyors Eddie & The Valiants and Chavela will kick things off Thursday with a free show. Combined, the two acts continue our city\u2019s storied tradition as an epicenter of brown-eyed or Chicano soul. Now-legendary acts such as Sunny Ozuna and The Royal Jesters helped lay the foundation for what\u2019s known locally as the West Side Sound.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s show will feature the intoxicating Western grooves of Rattlesnake Milk. Originally from the Texas Panhandle, the band is now based in Austin, and if August\u2019s packed-to-the-gills Gruene Hall show is any indication, they\u2019re about to blow up.<\/p>\n

Rattlesnake Milk is joined on Friday\u2019s lineup by cosmic cowboy and Lonesome Rose co-owner Garrett T. Capps and his band of deep-space desperados, NASA Country. Tickets<\/a> to Friday\u2019s show are $20 advance or $25 at the door, and they\u2019re almost sold out, according to organizers.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s gig will feature Summer Dean, a Fort Worth country singer-songwriter known to put on one hell of a show that\u2019s both honky tonkin\u2019 and full of confessional storytelling. But Dean\u2019s ability to put on a show may meet its match with the bill\u2019s inclusion of Alamo City rowdies Los Juanos, who bring their own undeniable blend of indie and Tejano to the bill.<\/p>\n

Legendary accordion player Santiago Jimenez Jr. will round out Saturday night\u2019s lineup, underscoring its high-energy Tex-Mex flavor. If their forces combined won\u2019t pack the dance floor and get bodies moving, we don\u2019t know what will. Tickets<\/a> for Saturday\u2019s performance run $10 in advance and $15 at the door.<\/p>\n

The festival closes out on Sunday with yet another free show featuring local indie dream-pop act Elnuh, El Paso psych-folk group Doom Well and San Antonio jangle-pop collective Heavy Love.<\/p>\n

The wide range of musical offerings this weekend showcases the niche the Lonesome Rose has carved out for itself in San Antonio \u2014 a honky tonk where cowboys and weirdos mingle. Everything from the twang of pedal steel to harsh, experimental noise rock has graced its stage under the every-watchful papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 head of Capps, whose eclectic tastes bridge these many influences.<\/p>\n

Though Lonesome Rose is just now getting the seven-year itch, it\u2019s been cheekily referring to itself as the \u201coldest honky tonk on the St. Mary\u2019s Strip\u201d for some time now. <\/p>\n

May the road go on forever and the party never end.<\/p>\n
