After COVID-19 put live music on hiatus for more than a year, 2021 marked the resurgence of touring acts and the chance for us to enjoy seeing our favorite San Antonio performers plug in their instruments and return to the stage.

Here’s a roundup of some of their most dynamic shots from a year packed with great music.
