Valentine’s Day in New Braunfels Today is Valentine’s Day and several venues in town have planned special concerts to help celebrate this day of love.

Colter Wall at Gruene Hall This week we have two Canadian country artists coming to town to perform for us. First up there’s Colter Wall from Swift Current, Saskatchewan. At 13, he started playing guitar and listening to the wide variety of music in his parent’s collection. Their albums included everything from AC/DC to Waylon […]

Last week I listed all the New Year’s Eve shows so if you are planning on celebrating the end of 2018 out on the town, you might want to check with the venue first to be sure they aren’t sold-out or to reserve a spot for you and your friends. Most venues will have a […]
