The Sounds of San Anto project team began developing a digital music project in 2022. Our digital project started with a massive spreadsheet documenting concerts in San Antonio from as far back as the late 1800s. Recognizing that we had something special in front of us, we aimed to create an inclusive project that encompassed the entire 210 area code and surrounding regions.

Hoping to capture the interests of multiple generations, our first step was to condense our data into a mapping project spanning 40 years. Next up, we wanted to ensure our visitors feel inspired to share their memories with us, so we built an old-school style message board. Rounding out the project, we’ve paid homage to a beloved corrido, adding a historic lens to the project yet with some modern takes.
