Interview with San Marcos City Councilman Maxfield Baker ktsw899
By Renee Dominguez Staff Photographer These pictures were taken around Austin and San Marcos over the course of two weeks. They include some of the bands that performed at the 2017 10th Annual MR Fest, hosted by your own, KTSW. I had a crazy fun, and at times stressful, time wandering around Austin and San Marcos these last two weeks with some of the bands playing at MR Fest. It was […]
By Alexandra Cochran Blog Content Contributor Sunburnt skin and tired feet, MR Fest reached the last few minutes of daylight as it came closer to the grand finale and final venue to wrap up a remarkable day. The Marc is designated for My Radio Festival’s headliners, High Waisted. According to their website, they seem to announce their music as “New York surf band with pop sensibility.” Although it was my […]
By Martin Ramirez Live Blogger The second act at the Buzz Mill was Daniel Thomas Phipps, an indie-folk-rock-roots singer and songwriter from New Braunfels, Texas. When Phipps first started his set, his audience was just the volunteers and the Buzz Mill employees. However, within a few minutes, more people began to arrive as Phipps went all out in his performance. Phipps played with such emotion, his deep voice vibrating through the […]
By Kimberly Garcia Blog Content Contributor The Real Hands started at Stonewall for MR Fest with several songs off their album Cicada. They were the first band to play at Stonewall on Saturday as an “acoustic trio.” This was the fourth time that The Real Hands have played at MR Fest and they did not disappoint. It felt like you took a road trip to the beach while listening to their […]

Jackman had a lot of energy and confidence for only playing one show together before MR Fest. Jackman […]
By Martin Ramirez Live Blogger The third band to shake up MR Fest at the Buzz Mill was Austin-based band, Shaker Hymns. Immediately after setting up, Shaker Hymns garnered a large crowd and proceeded to rock out. After the first two acts being mellow and soulful sounds, this band was a welcomed abrupt change of pace. As soon as they began to play, it was clear these guys were here […]
By Martin Ramirez Live Blogger Earlier, I thought Shaker Hymns were the most successful in bringing the crowd today. However, the Madisons came and changed all of that. As soon as the lead vocalist, Dominic Solis, cracked a joke, he had the crowd at his mercy. After being at the Buzz Mill for four hours, fighting off bugs left and right, I was happy to hear Solis call out the […]
By Martin Ramirez Live Reporter Local artist Cory Mann kicked off MR Fest at the Buzzmill with only his guitar and voice. The San Marcos musician first began his music career in a thrash metal band with his brother in Waco for three years. I got to sit down and do a small interview with Mann, and he said that he has many musical influences that help shape his musical […]
