The Court Jesters are ten musicians that LOVE to make music! We have been playing in and around San Antonio for many years. We have a common thread besides our love of music: We are all (most) local attorneys! That’s right–when the lights come up, we trade in our law books for our songbooks, our legal cases for instrument cases, our trial notes for eighth notes, and our wing-tips for blue suede! What’s more impressive, the lawyers stop arguing and start playing some of the best music in the San Antonio area! The Court Jesters are a horn driven rock band and play a variety of Rock & Roll and R&B classics spanning from the late 1950’s to the mid 1980’s. We are based in San Antonio, but we can travel to surrounding areas to meet your needs. The Court Jesters play for civic functions, company/corporate parties, benefits, holiday parties, reunions, birthdays, graduations, or any other similar gathering.
