Rick Trevino- Summer Concert SeriesFriday, May 24, Seguin
7pm / The Palace Theater, 314 S Austin Street
As a kid growing up, Rick followed his father’s lead into music. Rooted in Texan and Mexican tradition, Rick Senior also loved 60s and 70s pop/rock. "That stuff made a big impression on me," Rick remembers. The music I heard at home was organic and powerful and it eventually led to the style of country that I'm playing today.

Shelby McLeod shares her pet, Roscoe. “He is a mini Dachshund, although he is closer to the standard size! This photo was taken after he floated with me out in our pool, and I guess it wore him out. Roscoe honestly believes he is human and as you can see he even sleeps like a human!”
