About Me

Howdy music friends & fans, I'm Jerry....
Among other things, I do booking, promotion & marketing for Sam's Burger Joint, a long-established music venue & roadhouse eatery in the heart of San Antonio, TX. Now this ain't no froo-froo wannabe art gallery with dedicated scooter parking on the outside & pink ladyfingers & $4 Shiner Bock on the inside.... No, this is a one-of-a-kind South Texas joint that'll fill your belly with Texas sized portions of mouthwaterin' roadhouse grub & your ears with the best in regional & touring musical acts around!
I've been involved for the last 20+ years, in booking, promotion, writing, photography & graphic design here in the San Antonio/Austin area. This MySpace page is being built to inform the planet (mostly the South Texas corner of it, anyways) about the Who's, Where's, Why's, What's & When's of what I've got going on at Sam's, as well as to tell the world about some of my personal favorite bands, venues, labels, and the like!
Bulletins & E-Mails are beamed out to all interested parties as need be. And don't be surprised when you receive the occasional invitation to an action-packed musical event, honky-tonk hoe-down, or rock-n-roll extravaganza!
So add on, and see what's what (musically) from the SA Music Grinder's perspective!

My Interests

Supporting all the great live music venues & bands working hard to fill our eyes & ears with noise & color!

I'd like to meet:



Fire Relief Benefit to help legendary tenor saxman SPOT BARNETT rebuild his Eastside San Antonio home which was destroyed by fire.... This All-Star blues bash will take place at SAM'S BURGER JOINT on Friday, March 16th beginning at 8:00 pm!
