Texas Wine Jam 2023, Day 2
November 5, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Texas Wine Jam
Day 2
This festival shines a light on leading Texas wineries and great local musicians that feed our soul and drive the “Cool” of Central Texas. It’s also about supporting two very impactful causes that support local music and local wine
The SIMS Foundation and Texas Wine Community Scholarships.
Texas Wine Jam 2023
Supporting live and local music is at the heart of this festival experience. Wineries will be offering exclusive deals and promotions on their wines for festival goers to splurge on. Think about it as one of the best Texas wine buying opportunities of the year. Each time a festival goer purchases a bottle they are automatically entered into a raffle to win one of several mixed cases of wine from wineries attending the festival or other special prizes provided by the festival’s Community Partners and Sponsors
The Music
There will be four live performances across the two days including Classic Rewind,
The Anthony Garcia Band, Josh Klaus and Bubba Coltrane and The Train Wrecks.
Known for their incredible guitar solos, Classic Rewind is a pop classic rock band that covers music that spans from the 60’s on.
The Anthony Garcia Band, led by Anthony Garcia a Texas native, is a classically trained pianist that performs music described as “Cinematic Americana,” a genre that interweaves Garcia’s love of rock, blues, classical piano and Spanish Guitar.
Based in Austin, Texas, Josh Klaus has been performing live for well over 20 years covering just about everything – – brand new, super old, fast, slow, male, female, pop, rock, R&B, soul and country.
The headlining band on Sunday is Bubba Coltrane and The Train Wrecks, a fiery, horn-infused rock band formed out of the diverse music scene of Austin, Texas. Now a seven piece band that sports a two guitar attack, a bull fiddle, a guy named Bob banging on the drums, and a three piece, misfit horn section – they’re guaranteed to make you have a good time.
