The Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, opened in 1914 in downtown San Antonio, was designed in the style of a European palazzo by architects Mauran, Russell & Crow of St. Louis. It originally operated as a vaudeville house and then a motion picture theatre until closing its doors in 1978. Redeveloped as part of the neighboring Majestic Theatre project, the Las Casas Foundation (now the Majestic Empire Foundation) raised money to restore the theatre’s forgotten interior luster and the venue re-opened as the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre in 1998. The Empire is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places–a prestigious recognition that honors its cultural legacy.
Amazing performance! I've always wanted to see Pat Metheny live. Now I can say that it was better than I ever could have imagined. 100/10, would watch it all over again if I could.
How soon can you come back and do another show..?? I would love to see a show featuring BONEY JAMES.. RICHARD ELLIOT.. & KIRK WHALUM & call it SAX IN THE CITY.. I will be there on the front row if not on stage…
This was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I love Boney James. He’s the best smooth jazz musician ever in my opinion. I’m definitely going to go to his next show here in Texas or somewhere else close.
It was a super fun show, so funny!!!! Mal and Anjelah killed it!! 🙂 the venue was wonderful There wasn't a bad seat in the house. Thank you so much for a great show!!!
When he told jokes about having to pee all the time, I felt seen! 🤣🤣 I like that he doesn’t have to cuss or tell raunchy jokes for a laugh. Just naturally funny!
The venue was a classic throwback to the past, like stepping back in time. Henry Cho was awesome! His clean humor was funny. Amazing that he could find humor in the little things in everyday life.
The man is awesome!!! I really appreciate who he is and what he stands for!!! I support him 100%. If I was younger, I would have chased him down, 🤣. Thank you Zach, you are an amazing man!!! I definitely pay to come see you every time you come to San Antonio!!
That was the best show we have seen in years!! The content from Chad and Zach totally kept the audience engaged and they brought a bright alternative light to current political events that spurred your emotions, moved you, and they 100% kept the audience rolling in their seats the whole time. Could have attended Joe Rogan next door, but my dad and I weren't going to miss going see Zach and Chad whom I have both been following on FB and were the two gentlemen we came to watch in the first place, and from the bottom of our hearts, were so glad we didn't change our minds, because Jo Rogan is pretty good, but these guys absolutely blew the roof off that place!!!! We 110% loved every single minute of their very astute characterization of our US PC political society today, and added in all of their personal experiences they have observed having been raised in the South and how we as Americans will finally take this country BACK!!!!!! Thank you, gentlemen, so much!!!!!
I was so excited to get tickets for the show. Seeing Chad Prather AND Zach Rushing at the same time was awesome. They did not disappoint!!! I laughed so hard. I liked that the venue was not huge. It was definitely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to see. I most definitely would do this again!!!
DJ FREAKIN BATTLE CAT!!!!!!!!!! Tony Austin Gas. Miles Mosley gas. Ricky Washington gas. Brandon Coleman gas. Kamasi Washington Gas! Singer lady with the nice hair gas. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 I’m 22 now! Look there my favorite contemporary jazz group and they’ve spawned some of the best musicians period! I’m just a little bummed Ronald Brunner didn’t make it. Other than that it’s pretty awesome better than the previous time they were here. Mostly because of Brandon Coleman and Miles Mosley, oh my god they were brilliant.
Boney James was superb in San Antonio at the Empire Theatre. All of his musicians are awesome in their own right! Will definitely buy tickets next time he comes to SA!
Went with friends. " Hysterical". My cheeks hurt at the end of the night from laughing. Pete can really flow from topic to topic seamlessly. You can not have great humor if your worried about the person in the second row feeling offended. He offends everyone. Took the time to meet everyone who wished to say hello and take a picture.
Comedy os a great venue change from the movies and Pete delivered. Will see him again for sure
Very funny, Very funny
Pete is the best! I’ve seen him perform three times in the past year and none of the sets were exactly the same which was impressive! He is a brilliant, engaging and entertaining storyteller and writer. Very relatable, too. I laughed so hard on Friday and truly enjoyed the evening out. Can’t wait to go again!
Excellent show! Liz is so personable, humble and down to earth. She made friendly conversation with the audience between songs and encouraged audience participation. After her set, she went out into the lobby and was available for photos and autographs. Amazing woman and artist. I hope she comes back to San Antonio because I will definitely travel there to see her again.
she was hilarious as usual and her fit was stunning! i absolutely love her opener daniel webb, CHECK HIM OUT!
i can’t wait to see them again in honolulu!
thanks for the chuckles
The show was Amazing! As usual these guys put an awesome show together!
Great music along with a few laughs, Dailey and Vincent are Great!
Can't wait to see them at the next one.
We had a marvelous time. My second show. Saw him at One World in Austin several years ago and this show even rivaled that one. I am a long time fan me and my wife and made this a special weekend to see him. If he ever is nearby we will always go. The supporting Musicians were all amazing in their own right also. From an old school jazz head l say keep making songs from heaven. I rare it a 10
Brian was off-the-charts, mind-blowing, electrifying, explosive, and fantastic! I was so excited when I heard he was finally coming to San Antonio, Texas. I and bought our Box tickets as soon as possible. We were fortunate enough to meet him afterwards as well. We had a lot of fun!
Amazing to see JP and MP together! Add Dave LaRue and you’ve got three of the most talented musicians alive sharing a stage. Their presence was amazing and performance flawless. I really hope there’s another tour because I would definitely see them again!
He is the most wonderful entertainer, he s fun, funny, amazing voice and just a tremendous talented handsome entertainer, I loved the show and the meet and greet, I'm a big fan of Randy
