Hometown Artist’s RodeoThe Hometown Artist’s Rodeo started in the 1980’s as a party out at the sculpture Building at UTSA. Students and faculty would bring a pot luck dish and some talent to share . There were musicians, comedians, story tellers, and performance artists of all ages. During the 2000’s it was moved to a restaurant/bar in San Antonio called the Cove and became a monthly show. The Rodeo was/is sort of artist’s cabaret where people sing, recite, and perform with sometimes very elaborate, sometimes quite strange, but always entertaining material. One of my favorites was a little girl who chewed her juice box on stage. These are some rather random shots of some of that. There is a video coming later for the website. | Ken Little and Rodeo Ho Ho at the Hometown Artist's Rodeo 2008 | Hometown Artist's Rodeo 2008 | Fire Jugglers 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Fire Jugglers 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary Sweeney and Barry Austin, 2009 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary Sweeney and Ken Little, 2009 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary Sweeney and Barry Austin, 2009 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary Sweeney plays Kurt Cobains Teen Spirit on drums using Barbie dolls as the drumsticks, 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Hills Snyder, 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary and Janet Sweeney 2008, Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Dana Montana, Michelle Monseau, and Matthew Rose, 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Cathy Cunningham, Dana Montana, Noelia Santos, and Rhonda Kuhlman sing "Hey Big Spender" 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Chris Sauter sings "Turn Around", 2008 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Aires Choir, singing "With a Little Help from My Friends" 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Hyperbubble, Jeff and Jessica DeCuir, at a 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Gary Sweeney 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Paul, Joey, and Elizabeth Fauerso, at a 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Joey and Elizabeth Fauerso, at a 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Cruz Ortiz at a 2004 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Dennis Coffman at a 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Joey and Elizabeth Fauerso at a 2007 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Chicken George Zupp painting demonstration at a 2006 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Dennis Olsen plays autoharp and sings at a 2006 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Lloyd Walsh and Dennis Fallon at a 2006 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Joe Reyes and Michelle Monseau at a 2005 Hometown Artist's Rodeo | Randy Wallace reading at a 2004 Hometown Artist's Rodeo |
