New Pearl music venue announces first slate of shows

• Tickets go on sale Friday for all shows.

Why it matters: San Antonio is always fighting Austin, Dallas and Houston for attention from traveling musicians. Locals love it when the Alamo City attracts big names.

Yes, but: The lineup also includes some well-loved local names, including Garrett T. Capps, Brooklyn Michelle and Wes Denzel.

Notable concerts include:

• Mariachi Damas de Jalisco and Mariachi Las Coronelas, Jan. 22
• Buttercup and Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, Jan. 25
• Los Texmaniacs feat. Flaco Jiménez and Augie Meyers, Jan. 27
• Portugal. The Man, Feb. 9
• Xavier Omär and Mélat, Feb. 10
• Black Pumas, Feb. 16 and 17
• Jon Wolfe, March 2
• Saint Motel, April 26

Flashback: The stable building, which was built in 1894 by Otto Kramer, once housed Pearl Brewery's draft horses. It was renovated in the 1950s and in 2006.

• In its most recent iteration, the building was used as a private event space.

By the numbers: The venue will have the capacity to hold 1,000 people.

Details: It features a reclaimed Texas dance hall pine floor and six — yes, six — full-service bars.

What they're saying: "The Stable building will always own an important piece of history on this property, having served multiple purposes over the last century," Pearl CEO Mesha Millsap said in a statement. "We are excited for its next chapter as a world-class live music venue."

The bottom line: The new venue adds expanding entertainment options to a rapidly growing Broadway corridor near Pearl.
