2024 Live Music Series Benefitting San Antonio Food Bank Resumes March 7th
About the 2024 Live Music Series
The “2024 Live Music Series at The County Line Presented by Modelo Especial” is back for its 22nd year, beginning March 7, 2024, beginning with the popular Mario Flores and Gabe Garcia. This very popular live music series that benefits the San Antonio Food Bank will occur every Thursday night from March 7 through May 30. The concerts occur on the patio of The County Line Bar-B-Q restaurant at 4334 Hyatt Pl Dr., San Antonio, TX 78230 (near the Colonnade). Concerts begin at 7 and run until 9 p.m., and are held rain or shine.
“Our customers are jazzed that we are offering this incredible music series again; we heard constantly how much they missed it when it was cancelled in 2021 and 2023 for Covid-related reasons,” says Mike Crenwelge, General Manager of the IH-10 County Line location since 1980. “And we are jazzed that Modelo Especial and Silver Eagle have joined us as our presenting sponsor, which enables us to once again benefit the San Antonio Food Bank—a time-honored tradition started in 2001 by the late Randy Goss when he was a County Line co-owner and GM of the IH-10 restaurant.” This music series has featured some of the very best Texas and national country musicians in the past including Cory Morrow, Randy Rogers, Jason Boland, Roger Creager, Wade Bowen, Pat Green, Aaron Watson, Radney Foster, Kevin Fowler, Bleu Edmondson, and many more.
About the Food & Drinks
County Line’s great array of BBQ and other specialties can be ordered in the restaurant or from a booth on the grounds to enjoy at tables on the patio. Happy hour will run inside and outside of the restaurant, from 3 to 7 p.m. on concert days, as well as drink specials during the concert and Happy Hour, such as $5 pints of Corona Premier and Modelo Especial on tap.
It’s FREE
As always, this live music series is free. However, all who attend are asked to make a food or monetary donation to the San Antonio Food Bank. In 2015, the County Line was recognized by the San Antonio Food Bank for raising enough food to feed over 1 million people since the inception of the music series in 2001. In 2017 alone, it brought in a record-breaking number of donations: $7,822.32 in cash and 2,386 lbs. of food, which equals 80,609 lbs. of food to feed the hungry in San Antonio area.
“Our longstanding partnership with the County Line goes back more than two decades. It holds the distinction of already being in the Million Meals Club, and we are very excited to see their patrons and fans providing more meals to the community this year,” says Eric Cooper, President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. “ Funds from the series will close the gap on meals for kids this summer, with the aim of no childhood hunger in 2024.”

“County Line’s long legacy of philanthropy with the Food Bank started in the 1980s with hefty donations to the Food Bank’s Second Servings program,” Crenwelge adds. “Over the past ten years, the average donation by the County Line Music Series has been $3,665 and 1,540 pounds. This year, we ask our concert goers to help us reach our goal of $8,000 and 1,500 pounds of food donations. Just $1 provides seven meals to our fellow San Antonians.”
