About Jazz on the Water - Our Story

We needed the music!

In 2017 we launched the BillyRay Shepard Second Sunday at Sea cruise.  From our kitchen table.  Fun.  We found the music.  We went everywhere to find it.  Houston, Austin, Dallas, New Orleans.  Everywhere.  By land and by sea. 
 
We couldn’t find the right vibe here in San Antonio.  We looked.  We tried.  There were one-offs.  Here and there.  This and that.  But never enough.  Not the tunes we sang in the shower.  When nobody listened.  Danced when nobody watched.
 
We needed the music!  We couldn’t find it.  Couldn’t hear it.  We decided to create it.  Many said it couldn’t be done.  Many said it would never work.  We didn’t think it would work.  How do you do it?  Who do I call?  Who could help?  Off we went down the rabbit hole.
 
We needed the music!  I whined regularly.  She got tired of it. Stopped listening.  She said stop whining and do something. Do what?  And so it began.
 
Find a venue.  No go.  Ask for help – no go.  Who to call.  No go.  We talked to everyone, anyone.  Asked a million questions.  Few answers.  We went to concerts by land and by sea.  Everywhere in the world. Yep, the whole world. Couldn’t figure it out.  I just whined.
 
We met artists.  Asked if they would come.  They said Yes. We made calls.  Couldn’t afford the music.  No one would pay.  Found the money.  We wanted more.  Support the community.  Important for us.  It had to add value to our town, our community – San Antonio.
 
We needed the music.  Here we are.  The music.  We hope you enjoy.
