San Marcos is a mecca for those in search of Americana music -- thanks to a retailer that established itself here a couple of years ago. Bobcat Update's Meg Sween tells us more:

Lone Star Music has been around as a distributor since 1999 -- first, as an online store for fans of Texas home grown music, and NOW as a brick-and-mortar location in downtown San Marcos. It's called Superfly's Lone Star Music Emporium. You can find it on University Drive next to the Subway restaurant. Superfly's sells music and also invites musicians to drop by and meet their fans.

The San Marcos store is actually Lone Star Music's second retail location. The first was opened in Gruene more than a decade ago. That store closed after Lone Star moved to San Marcos in 2012, but the company continues to maintain its original website and publishes a monthly magazine.
In 2003, Texas State University's Institute for The History of Texas recognized Lone Star Music for its support of Texas music.
Superfly's Emporium carries a wide range of artists, from The Allman Brothers and The Bee Gees to Portugal The Man and Tame Impala. Lance Garza, an employee at Superfly's, says the store's best sellers are vinyl recordings, but a lot of other merchandise is available.

STANDUP: Well, with a variety of records, CDs, clothes and more, Superfly's has everything you need. And everything I need! I think I might get this one (holding vinyl)! For Bobcat Update, I'm Meg Sween.
