Carson Jeffrey will be taking the House Pasture Stage tonight in Concan kicking off his spring 2025 tour featuring Wyatt Weaver band. Jeffery will be playing music from his album, Fair Weather Cowboy.

  The 25-year old, Texas A&M grad released his third album Fair Weather Cowboy on November 18, 2022.

“The ten-track record gives fans a deeper glimpse into this cowboy’s soul. He penned every song showcasing themes about growth, loneliness, and letting loose. Fans can hear a taste of the new project on “Cow Pissin,” the current single, that is available now on all streaming platforms.

  Singer-songwriter Carson Jeffrey is a full-time, authentic to the core Cowboy and a part-time musician that Texans just can’t get enough of. During the week, the Cat Spring rancher disconnects completely from the music world, opting instead to fill his days building barns, fixing fences, mowing pastures and roping calves.  When the weekend comes he converts to a road warrior playing more than 100 shows a year throughout the Southern region.  Carson regularly sells out college bar mainstays like The Tap in College Station and The Blue Light in Lubbock,” according to bio information from the artist’s website

Tickets for tonight’s concert available here.

The first spring breakers have started to arrive in Concan as the temperatures today reached the 80’s which is warm enough for a number of people to sunbathe at the pool side or at The Gravel Bar at Seven Bluff Crossing in Concan Saturday afternoon. Many more will likely be arriving in Concan for the House Pasture Spring Break Concert weekend kicking off on Friday, March 14th.

Many colleges in the state of Texas will be recessing next week for Spring Break while Uvalde CISD campuses will be on spring break the following week.

Earlier this evening, the Concan Fire Department was seen at the Helipad in Concan meeting a San Antonio AirLife helicopter with a head injury patient according to Concan Volunteer Fire Department  Chief Justin Willis.

A weekend cold weather system brought this year’s spring break week to a wintery close. Overnight Friday March 17 through early Saturday morning March 18th light snowfall was reported in Rocksprings and in Leakey according to the National Weather Service Office Austin/San Antonio. “We’ve had several reports of snow accumulating on grassy surfaces and on vehicles over the Edwards Plateau and western Hill Country,” the NWS Austin/San Antonio said.  Rain reports from several measuring stations in Uvalde County indicated about 1/2 inch of rain Saturday at several locations in Uvalde County.

  Saturday’s temperatures were in the mid 50’s accompanied by light rain most of that day. Up in Concan, the spring breakers put away their swimsuits and river gear and could be seen wearing coats and jackets. While Thursday’s warmer temperatures and sunshine allowed for some to have some river fun, the warmer temperatures did not last. 

  “Showers will continue this morning, but will mainly limited to the western portion of the area by mid-afternoon. Temperatures will be a few degrees colder than yesterday with overcast skies. These colder temperatures linger into early this upcoming week,” the NWS San Antonio office posted on Twitter last Saturday morning. 

   The colder temperatures and rainy weather did not deter runners from participating in the Eva Strong Memorial Race held in Uvalde that morning with approximately 450 participating.  The Race was held in memory of Eva Mireles, one of two teachers who perished in the Robb School massacre on May 24th, last year. 

  Tournament golfers hit the links Saturday morning at Frio Valley Ranch Golf course completing the second tournament day. 

Weekend rainfall results in Frio River water level rise.

  Traffic on State Highway 127  and Highway 83 North has returned with RVers, motorcyclists along with cars and trucks packed with tubes and river gear headed to Concan and the Frio River area. College students could be seen at Seven Bluff Crossing on River Road Thursday afternoon playing beer pong or just relaxing in the Frio River.  Wednesday’s colder temperatures and overcast skies gave way to sunny skies and temperatures in the 80’s on Thursday afternoon.

  The Randy Rogers Band took the stage at House Pasture performing before hundreds of people kicking off the first of a three day concert series. Artists will also be taking to stages around the area including Joe Jimmy’s , Hippy Chicks both in Concan and Hangar Six in Uvalde. 

  At approximately 11:00 PM, a one vehicle accident was seen on River Road  in Concan at the Frio Country River Crossing with Uvalde County Sheriff’s officers and the Concan Fire Department on the scene.
