There probably aren’t enough thick books and serious documentaries recognizing San Antonio as a musical epicenter. But even if there were, they wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as Garrett T. Capps’ new album, I Still Love San Antone. With all the heartfelt zaniness audiences have come to expect from the S.A.-based singer-songwriter, the album pushes far beyond any novelty record format. Capps’ masterful work of offbeat regional storytelling incorporates fired-up country-rock and retro Tex-Mex instrumentation with a genuinely psychedelic worldview.
ll genre bending effect.

Sound System Sessions, an evening honouring soundsystem heritage spanning Reggae, Dub, Rocksteady, Ska, & Dancehall. Plus, Collective Memory – a participatory exhibition of photographs of Coventry musicians, taken by Jason Tilley.
The Tin Music and Arts has teamed up with Riddim Jam who will launch a new side project – Sound System Sessions, an evening honouring soundsystem heritage – with dynamic sets from both the city’s veteran selectors & DeeJays, as well as rising talent. With selectors spanning spectrum of Reggae, Dub, Rocksteady, Ska, & Dancehall, we’ll feature live instruments over their sets to deliver an immersive, culturally-rooted sound experience.
The event will also include ‘Collective Memory’ – a participatory exhibition of photographs of Coventry musicians, taken by Jason Tilley. Jason, who is a former press photographer, took many photographs of musicians during the 80s, 90s and 00s. Now, since suffering a series of strokes, has dementia and can’t remember who some of the people are in his photographs, so he is asking for visitors to come to help identify them.

In 2025 they released the “near-perfect slice of indie pop” Silhouettes, the “scalding, no-mercy anthem” Wildfire and the disco-inspired Late Night Dancing (featured in The Unsigned Guide’s Spotlight).
Other highlights include supporting The Cords and playing the Leicesterval Indiepop Weekender, Lakefest, two successive Record Store Day sets in their favourite record shop, and the Main Stage and BBC Stage at Godiva Festival.
