Local attorney and business owner Blayne Tucker was a shrewd behind-the-scenes advocate for San Antonio's music scene.
Tucker had high-profile claims to fame including touring the world as Austin-based blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr.'s road manager and helping the critically acclaimed artist land a deal with Warner Bros Records. Tucker also served as a partner in legendary country music venue Floore's Country Store. Tucker dealt with unlikely allies, including John Cornyn, Texas' senior GOP senator, to secure bipartisan support for the measure. He also conducted national interviews in support of the act, joining the voices of music luminaries including Willie Nelson, Alice Cooper and Billie Eilish.
Friends also remember Tucker as an avid gardener who showered them with tomatoes and other backyard bounty. When Peña, then 28, opened his drinkery seven years ago, Tucker was among the first Strip business owners to welcome him, check on his needs and offer advice.
