  • Good City Modern is a unique blend of high-energetic indie rock music from San Antonio, Texas.
  • Collective Dreams makes music to communicate ideas and experiences that words cannot. Each member of our band lives life deeply, fully digesting the human experience; what people hear when they listen to our music are the things that we hold most dear, that we consider the most important. Each of us has a place in the Dream. We all have things we value, goals we want to attain, ideals that we live by. It is all of us together, all of our experiences, all of our ideas, that make life what it is. Through connecting with people outside ourselves, we are able to gain perspective. Through understanding life multiple perspectives, we become more aware of who we are and what our place is in the Dream.

The combo performed for our first in-person Summer Night City event series, live at Legacy Park in downtown San Antonio.
