Gruene Hall in the Historic District of Gruene that has been subsumed, consumed by the town of New Braunfels.

Built in 1878, Gruene Hall (pronounced ‘Green’) is Texas’ oldest continually operating dance hall: it is worth a look and a listen.

Gruene is a former town in Comal County in the U.S. state of Texas. Once a significant cotton-producing community along the Guadalupe River, the economy is now supported primarily by tourism. Gruene is now a district within the city limits of New Braunfels, and much of it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Inside of Gruene Hall we found the Austin-based bluegrass band : Wood & Wire.

Wood & Wire did a nice job of packing the Gruene Hall house for the 5 – 9 PM show.

Tight three-part harmonies, banjo, mandolin, bluegrass guitar and stand-up bass were featured. Wood & Wire treated the crowd to some finely crafted original bluegrass music, as well as the bluegrass standards.

Good musicians, a good show!!

Wood & Wire at Gruene Hall!!

Try ’em both some time soon.
