The Bee Cave Bee

Fans of all music genres will find something to like at the 2017-18 performance season of the Spicewood Arts Society, including jazz, “classical-not-classical,” and Western swing.

The season ticket price of $125 includes the five regular season performances, averaging $25 each. Tickets may be purchased at www.spicewoodarts.org.

“Season ticket prices represent a considerable savings over buying individual performances,” said new president Karen Noecker. “Check concerts for individual ticket prices. If you find three or more you like, you’ll save on a season ticket!”

All performances will be at the Spicewood Vineyards Event Center, 1419 Co. Rd. 409, Spicewood, TX.

Matt Wilson Band ($50), Friday, September 22, 2017. Beginning the season, Matt Wilson and his band are back by popular demand. Wilson selects from his deep catalog of soul, rock and gospel, delighting his audiences.
