So Say We All TX presents "This Land Holds Me" a charity compilation album being released May 1st to benefit RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education And Legal Services). The album features contributions from over a dozen San Antonio artists including mypilotis, The Frog and Bandit, Powdered Wig Machine, Mr. Pidge, Stillbefriends and more.

The compilation takes it title from a poem written by local poet Marcela Salome-Hernández and is called “This Land Holds Me”. It will be available exclusively for digital purchase on Bandcamp at https://sosaywealltx.bandcamp.com/ The release will coincide with Bandcamp Friday, a special occasion for which Bandcamp waives their revenue share and passes all funds from sales that day directly to artists.

This will allow for every dollar of every sale made that day to be contributed to the cause. There will also be a show at the Starlighter on Thursday April 30 where a few of the artists that contributed to the compilation will be performing to promote its release and there will be some physical copies on hand for sale.

The annual event takes place on Saturday, May 2nd from 9am – 3pm in the H-E-B Student Union Ballroom at UT San Antonio Main Campus. This event remains FREE to the public!

On the morning of Saturday, May 9, 2026, the heart of Lockhart will beat a little louder. The Retired Nurses Group of Caldwell County (RNGCC) will transform the Courthouse Square in Downtown Lockhart into a grand celebration of service, health, and community — rolling out a literal red carpet to honor the nurses of Caldwell County who have devoted their careers to healing others.

The event, free and open to the public, is set to begin at 10:00 AM. The centerpiece of the morning will be the Nurses Red Carpet Walk — a formal processional in which retired nurses will be escorted down an elegant red carpet, flanked by velvet ropes and well-wishers, in recognition of their lifetime of service to the community. Organizers say the walk is designed to give nurses the celebrity treatment they have long deserved.
