From Granbury Live to Fredericksburg


Rockbox Theater, located at 109 N. Llano just one block off Main Street, is the only professionally cast live-music show in the Texas Hill Country that guarantees family-friendly entertainment.


The indoor theater opened June 2007 and features a resident cast of professional entertainers who performed together for seven years at Granbury Live, a live-music theater on the square in Granbury, before moving to Fredericksburg.


On stage together in Granbury from December 1999 - April 2007 for over 1500 concerts where sold-out houses were the norm, this ensemble amassed a wide repertoire of songs and comedy that entertains, uplifts, and inspires.


"We are blessed to be in our new theater in Fredericksburg and 'funtabulous' entertainment is what you will discover every weekend at Rockbox," said Creative Director Russ Hearn. "At the core, we are a professional variety live-music show that guarantees family-friendly entertainment. The foundation of our playlist will come from ‘the golden era of rock n roll’; but, there will always be plenty of variety as well, taken from ‘the great American pop song catalogue’, often referred to as the ‘standards’. At times, we’ll also pay tribute to great Texas musicians (from Stevie Ray Vaughn and ZZ Top to Bob Wills and Buddy Holly) and to the distinctive cultural music of Texas, including roots and folk music, country, Texas swing, blues, and the ethnic music of our Texas history, including, of course, the German musical heritage found in Fredericksburg.


Rockbox provides a stage for professional entertainers who are willing to put their talents on display and give the glory to God. "Our goal is to attract and keep great talent who bring authenticity and energy to the performance," continues Hearn. The 390-seat indoor theater features state-of-the-art light design by Texas Scenic out of San Antonio and audio design by Big Ear Sound from Acton, Texas.
