Expanding Boerne’s entertainment scene for 4th year
Nearly three dozen songwriters and musical groups will take the stage Saturday and Sunday in Boerne during the fourth annual Music on The Mile.
What started as a simple idea — fill the Hill Country Mile with live music and let people wander from venue to venue — has grown into the city’s signature music weekend, organizers said.
Music on the Mile brings musical acts to restaurants, bars, breweries and shops on the Hill Country Mile, the downtown portion of Boerne’s major thoroughfare, Main Street, and other venues.
Co-chairs Nancy Holekamp and Johny Rosa said they have put together a solid lineup with 35 acts appearing in 13 venues along Main and River Road May 2 and May 3.
Locations include Bear Moon Bakery, Brantley’s 259, Camp Bar & Feed, Cibolo Creek Brewing, Lost Oak Winery, Pinchy’s Lobster & Raw Bar, Salvador Dobbs, Shoppes at 222, Texas Treasures Co., The Oak of Boerne, Tusculum Brewing Co., Bear Moon Stage at 322 and The Christmas Shoppe.
“This just started out where some of these guys could get some local exposure,” Holekamp said. “Boerne already has a vibrant music scene on the weekends, so hopefully this carries that out a bit.”
Acts include Hunter Billingsley, Noah Kurtis, Faith Jacobs, Kainoa, Brent Michael Wood, Odie and The Arcade, and Don’t Quit Band.
“They just want a place to play, that’s all they want. They want to play and make people happy,” Holekamp said.
Jacobi (Strings) gets the day started with an 11 a.m. set at Bear Moon. The Boerne Jazz Band hits Brantley’s 259 at 11:30 a.m. and Lynnwood King gets Lost Oak Winery going at noon.
