Arts & Culture

Friday was San Antonio’s first Make Music Day. TPR headquarters hosted multiple events that filled many ears with various sounds and hosted exhibits to help everyone create musical experiences.

On the next episode of Digging SA, we’re backstage at the Guadalupe Theater with Thee Sinseers during the first time they performed in San Antonio.
