A Leap of Religion in Rockport
Take a meander down Fulton Seashore Street at any time of the day and also you’ll hear the water whooshing alongside the myriad piers and you’ll give ear to the screeching of herons in flight.

Calling himself the Director of Mayhem at Coastal Bend Music, Macy, a metal guitarist and musical producer who performed in Michael Murphey’s band, launched the Rockport Songwriter Pageant in 2022. Now in its fourth yr, the occasion attracts legendary and rising musicians to Rockport, Man Clark’s hometown, for some tuneful interchange and musical camaraderie.
