It doesn’t take much urging for Wimberley musicians to make music, but to participate in the worldwide Make Music Day on June 21, musicians turned out in many locations to do just that. Thanks to the efforts and support of Wimberley Arts, Visit Wimberley and Bella Vista Music Club, music could be heard across the valley.
The Rolling Oaks community held its annual MusicFest with two days of performances by local musicmakers. Performing were Patrick Green, Mike Bond, Elliott Rogers and Friends, Him & Her, Nick Garcia, The Coyotes, Steve Wood, Purly Gates, Austin Kessler and Ricky Charles Dodson.
In the downtown area, the Oak Park and Welcome Center kicked off events with a Second Line Jazz performance by The Numbers, followed by the Hill Country Honeys.
Music drifted across the Wimberley square with performances at Papa Hoos Popcorn, Wimberley Candle Company, Henson Square, Martha Knies Park, Wimberley Valley Museum, Wineberley, Creekside Kitchen and Bar and the Wall Street Western with music sets by Elise Lopez, Hemlock, Jon Conboy Song Circle, Jose Tormo, Rick Stolp, Sam Garcia, Steve Wood, Todd Sampsel, Rio Tripiano and Vtephen.
On Old Kyle Road, KWVH held performances inside its studio by the AJ & Sam Downing Duo and Slaid Cleaves & Karen Posten while spectators listened on the adjacent patio.
Performances at the Visit Wimberley Welcome Center, the Greenery Shop and Willow Lake were held by Steve Wood, Frank Iarossi, Joey McGee, and Meghan Marie.
Further out, Guitarrista Kelly Douglas played at Wimberley Inn + Bar. Both Whiskey & Wine and Stacia Woods performed at the Opera House at 7A Ranch on Wayside Drive, and Russ Glenn, and Michael Hess made music at the Wimberley Valley Winery.
