The Cove

Playing at The Cove usually means playing for tips. The Cove usually has people that want exposure for really small time or starting out/unofficial bands. I think of their open mic night where anyone with a guitar can sign up and sing a couple songs if they'd like. But when I went to the Cove this passed Thursday the situation was a bit different. Although I had never heard of this band, and they had a tip jar, I assume this band was a big deal. Hailing from Sydney Australia this country band was talking about their next single entitled, Texas.

Now, I know they're not a local band but the Cove is legit local and a great hangout. I went there for Vegan Thursdays, where this local, sustainable, organic friendly restaurant/laundry mat/car wash has a vegan "special" on the first Thursday of every month. This special is in addition to their already vegan friendly menu. The Cove frequently has live music from open mic night (as I a fore mentioned) to touring bands (such as this one). Every time I've been there someone has been playing. The Cove is a real casual dining experience, very picnic with your friends and family feel to it. They are famous for their fish tacos and SOL food and their eco friendly environment. SOL food I mentioned earlier as Sustainable, Organic, Local. Plus they have a full bar with wine tasting and beer tasting days.

In their single Texas, Chucks Wagon (the name of the band), mention The Cove, San Antonio, Texas Country singers and the Texas Country genre. I am familiar with TX country so it is refreshing to go back to a different genre and sound. Thanks Chucks Wagon. Oh and just in case, CW will be back in San Antonio soon, so check back at their tour dates if interested.
