Established musicians provide platform for breakthrough artists
As a breakthrough musician, or any type of artist for that matter, it can be hard to find an audience, but San Marcos has a place where one can show off their creative offerings to quite a large crowd. Jason Weems and EZ Maldonado host a talent show, with a Muse Magnet Songwriter Showcase housed within it, at Tantra, located at 217 W Hopkins Street. The songwriters night previously occurred every other Monday but will be increasing in frequency to every Monday and expanding to other talents that are not just musical. The showcase will highlight a particular artist every other week, which will be broadcast on Weems’ podcast of the same name, Muse Magnet, that should be up by the end of January. Open mic sign up is at 6 p.m. Open mic starts at 6:30 p.m., and the showcase occurs at 8 p.m.
