This week, San Antonio music fans can play it sonically safe or venture well off the beaten path.
On the safe side — and that's not a slight, only to say these bands play in familiar musical territory — the Dirty River Jazz Band will perform toe-tapping Dixieland and the Red Clay Strays will mix country, rock and soul. Meanwhile, the zany art punks Powdered Wig Machine and"Western space grunge" purveyors Dexter and the Moon Rocks promise something considerably more ... um ... out there.
Civic Park at Hemisfair is a wondrous reimagining of our shared downtown space, with springs to splash in, ample seating, shady trees and an expansive lawn. To help activate this newly opened space, a series of evening concerts has emerged, promoted by mobile DJ unit Sound Cream, which has been throwing dance party events for a few years now. For this installment, house music DJ Boyblk will rev up the crowds with a creative electronic approach.
The Red Clay Strays burst onto the scene in the last few years with a country-rock sound delivered with a heaping helping of soul. The Mobile, Alabama quintet got its start as a cover band trio in 2016 and started performing its own songs after a lineup addition. The band’s momentum was broken by the pandemic, but the single “Wondering Why” went viral on TikTok last year.
$34.50-$75.00, 8 p.m., Boeing Center at Tech Port, 3331 General Hudnell Drive, 600-3699, boeingcentertechport.com.Fans of Abilene’s Dexter and the Moon Rocks have dubbed the group’s sound “Western space grunge,” which is certainly appropriate. A fusion of alt-rock and red-dirt country, the band draws from diverse influences including Turnpike Troubadours and Arctic Monkeys. Dexter and the Moon Rocks also boast an aesthetic that leans into pulpy ’50s-era sci-fi.
