Storyville is the great rhythm and blues band based out of Austin, Tx. who racked up numerous accolades in the late 90's for their authentic Texas blues sounds. Based around the high energy, spiritual vocals of Malford Milligan, the current configuration includes David Holt, Tommy Shannon, Gabe Rhodes, and Barry Frosty Smith. Local favorites, 3-Mile Stone have a new CD, and they'll open up the show for Storyville with their own brand of gritty blues-rock. Tickets at the door only for this one.  Show starts at 8 pm.
 
 

Our beloved Ponty Bone is turning 70 years old this month, and everyone is invited to help him celebrate on Oct. 25th!  Gruene Hall is honored to host cajun-zydeco master Ponty Bone when he celebrates his 70th birthday here with a 5-9 pm show on Oct. 25th. An all around great guy and musician, Ponty Bone has played for Gruene Hall audiences for over 25 years, from his early days in the Joe Ely Band, to the various incarnations of his band, The Squeezetones. No one has ever left a Ponty Bone gig without a smile on their face and there will be big smiles this time. All former members of his bands are invited to come and jam with Ponty, along with anyone else that has played with him. And with all of the musicians that he has played with over the years, there is no telling who might show up! Lots of special stuff happening at this great birthday event. Come on out and wish Ponty a big Happy Birthday!  No cover charge!
 
 

Oct. 31st & Nov. 1st in and around Gruene, Tx.

The history, charm, and ambiance of Gruene Historic District, a beautiful bicycle ride along the banks of the Guadalupe River and Gruene Hall - where Texas-style boot-scootin' has polished its wood floors for more than a hundred years... Yep, we're brewin' up quite a ride for the 26th Annual Tour de Gruene Bicycle Classic. Selected as Bicycling Magazine's "Cool Ride of the Month" for November 2007, participants look forward to a leisurely bike ride through the Texas Hill Country on Saturday, and a competitive time trial in the afternoon. Sunday will bring competitive time trials. And, you can't forget about the free shows at Gruene Hall on both days!

The pros aren't strangers to the event -- Lance Armstrong, fellow Texan and seven-time Tour de France winner is among one of our most famous past participants. In fact, the Tour de Gruene was the first event he rode after he was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and he rode again in his self-described "2nd Comeback" in 2008. Watch the video!  Proceeds will benefit The New Braunfels Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Sally M Kingsbury Sarcoma Research Foundation.
