Here’s what they’re sayin’…

“As you can see, there is plenty of good music at all venues,

but the standout gig, to us anyway, is the Crystal Creek Boys with Fish Fry Bingo

at the Gray Horse tonight. Well, it is if you want to have a foot-stompin’, singin’,

dancin’ regular old hoe-down of a time." -HAP MANSFIELD Scene Editor, newstreamz.com link

The Crystal Creek Boys, who will appear at the Gray Horse Saloon on Thursday

with Austin’s Shotgun Party, are really ambassadors of goodwill for San Marcos.

They  love the city and the Hill Country even more than they love their whiskey,

and that’s saying something.  It all started on Lisa Lane. Band founder Matt Lochman

explains, “The band was started by my brother Nick and I.  When we were growing up in

San Marcos, we used to dig for quartz crystals in a recharge ditch across the street

from our house on Lisa Lane.  We called the ditch ‘Crystal Creek.’  We would mine the

crystals and take them around the neighborhood in our Radio Flyer, and sell them for

a dime so we could buy candy at what was then Geese (currently Sunny’s.)”
