Facing Forward, Local Cover Band


          Facing Forward is a local band that plays at Stonewerks Bar & Grille twice a month. In the past, they played at the Stonewerks at the Vineyard location (1604 and Blanco). Lately, they have moved to the Stonewerks at the Rim location (5807 Worth Pkwy). The band is made up of professional musicians and songwriters. They play a variety of cover songs from several genres so everyone gets to hear songs they like. The band tries to play songs that everyone is familiar with, from the upbeat songs of Stevie Ray Vaughn, to the catchy melody of Sweet Caroline.

            The atmosphere at Stonewerks is very fun and inviting. The prices are slightly more expensive, so I suggest eating a meal before you go, and just ordering drinks of an appetizer at the restaurant. The band starts playing at 8:00pm and plays until midnight. Their shows take place on Friday and Saturday nights.

            The band members are Kerry Neubauer (Keyboard and Lead Vocals), Bob Rivas (Bass Player), Bobby Rivas (Lead Guitar and Vocals), Randy (Drummer), and Travis Rigby (Keyboard and Drums). The band website is http://www.facingforwardsa.com. Their next show is on December 20th, and they will be having a guest country artist join them for a few songs.

I really encourage taking the time to come and hear the band. The music is great, the food is tasty, and the opportunity to enjoy yourself after a long week of studying is one every student should take once in a while.

If you are looking for something to do, come on out and listen to Facing Forward!
