ROBERT JOHNSON BIRTHDAY WEEKEND CELEBRATION | The Gunter Hotel

ROBERT JOHNSON BIRTHDAY WEEKEND CELEBRATION (5/07-5/09) For over 116 years, The Gunter Hotel has been a gathering place for San Antonio, built with the kind of detail, soul, and intention you can feel the moment you walk through the doors. It’s a space that was made to inspire — from the architecture to the atmosphere, from the first note played to the last conversation that lingers long after. Music has always been at the center of it all. The Gunter has welcomed artists, storytellers, and seekers for generations, each adding to the rhythm that runs through the building. And nowhere is that more true than Room 414, where Robert Johnson recorded a sound that would change music forever. This weekend, we honor that legacy with our first-ever Robert Johnson Birthday Celebration — a full day of programming built around the music, the history, and the influence that still echoes through these walls. From intimate conversations to live performances and a late-night blues jam, every moment is designed to bring that story to life in a way that feels both grounded and electric. Join us to experience a Robert Johnson celebration and see for yourself what giving a damn feels like. ___ **THURSDAY, MAY 7th, 2026** Jacob Kyle – Solo Blues: An intimate, stripped-down set showcasing raw, authentic blues.
