The first-ever Acoustic Medicine Music Series is located at the historic Olmos Bharmacy, an old pharmacy and soda counter turned into an intimate venue for some of the best acoustic songwriteers you have ever heard.
Alamo Music Center is sponsoring this wonderful event so come on down and joy the fun of
great music at Olmos Bharmacy!
All Performances Begin At 8 PM
The Melissa Ludwig Band
The Acoustic Medicine Music Series is free, and each show will be broadcast live on the internet by Radio Free Texas (radiofreetexas.org). But don't expect any performances or jams by the Melissa Ludwig Band - her involvement will be behind-the-scenes only.
"I'm doing this to highlight and to showcase other artists that I think are great," she said. "We will continue to perform as a band as we always do, but we're just not going to perform at this series."
L.D. "Doc" Gilmore, built the Gilmore Pharmacy back in 1938. Having already built the Laurel Heights Pharmacy on North Main Street in Monte Vista, he decided to build another so he could give one to each of his two sons. The Art Moderne style of the new exterior was considered quite daring for the area at the time, and today the building is an architectural treasure.
When you enter the Olmos Bharmacy, you turn back the clock, catching a glimpse of the past... You sit at the counter drinking this 'new invention', the milkshake (or beer milkshake) - best anywhere, they say. Photos of Olmos Park and Monte Vista in the 20's, the Pharmacy in the 40's, Doc Gilmore and other familiar landmarks are on display. Employees
are constantly overwhelmed with stories of people's memories of the Olmos
Pharmacy, reinforcing just how important this institution is to the modern history of San Antonio.
