After cutting his teeth playing in the Alamo City, Garcia relocated to Chicago then Austin, where he joined renowned psych-rockers The Black Angels and started his own psych-rock club, The 13th Floor. Garcia is back in SA this Thursday for show with his own band, The Ripe, which specializes in power-pop in the Badfinger and Kinks mold.
