Local Blanco Fun Stuff
Hey y’all! I’m Scott, your local handyman here in Blanco, and when I’m not fixing up homes around the Texas Hill Country, you’ll likely find me out enjoying the incredible live music scene we have right in our backyard. After 20+ years of working with my hands during the day, there’s nothing I love more than unwinding with some great music, cold drinks, and good company at night. I put together this entertainment calendar because I realized how many amazing venues and talented musicians we have within just a 30-mile radius of Blanco – from intimate acoustic sets to boot-stomping dance halls, karaoke nights to full-blown fundraiser festivals. Whether you’re new to the area or a longtime local like me, I hope this guide helps you discover (or rediscover) all the fantastic entertainment options we’re blessed to have here in the heart of Texas. So grab your boots, bring your friends, and let’s support our local music scene together!
