The Black Market ClubThis episode, we finally get back into interviews! I was really glad to have gotten some time to sit down with The Black Market Club, not only because I've seen them live 5 times by this point, but because they were the unofficial headliners for the 210 Toys for Tots concert event we held last year. These five guys have an amazing sound that is very unique and, as you'll hear in the interview, this is in large part to their extremely varied musical backgrounds and tastes. We...

Thanks to the Alamo City ComicCon for allowing 210 Local Music access to the Con as media!! This was a very exciting event and is San Antonio's first true ComicCon. I have to say, overall it was a huge success. The place was packed, tons of people got turned away because the portion of the convention center being used by the ACCC (which wasn't a huge area this year) was completely swamped with celebs, local celebs, comics, cosplayers, and 210 Local Music with Ortiz Media. In this episode, you ge...

Following her was Jared Harville who has recently come on the scene and proves that he means business when it comes to making his ...
