On March 7, 2026, the music world experienced a profound loss with the passing of Augie Meyers, a legendary figure who left an indelible mark on the tapestry of Texan music. As a founding member of the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados, Augie's contributions were critical in shaping the cultural and musical identity of San Antonio and beyond. His signature sound, characterized by a fusion of rock, country, and Tex-Mex influences, resonates profoundly not only with fans in Texas but across the globe.

Augie's legacy is one that transcends borders and generations, bridging cultural gaps and uniting communities through the power of music. His extraordinary skill on the keyboard, combined with a unique blend of diverse musical elements, distinguished him as a true pioneer of the genre. It's time we honor this iconic musician who brought so much joy and unity through his art.

Placing a statue of Augie Meyers in San Antonio serves not only as a tribute to his remarkable contributions but also as a reminder of the vibrant music scene he helped nurture. Such a monument would be a fitting tribute in a city where he found inspiration and spread his creative wings. San Antonio should celebrate its rich musical heritage and the artists who have profoundly influenced its cultural landscape.

Imagine a place where future generations of musicians and music lovers can gather to reflect on the legacy of Augie Meyers and draw inspiration from his work. Erecting a statue would provide a physical space for reflection and community celebration, fortifying his place within the city's cultural history.

Please join me in urging the San Antonio City Council and local cultural heritage bodies to commission a statue in honor of Augie Meyers. Let's ensure that his contributions to music and culture are recognized and remembered for years to come. Sign this petition to support the creation of a monument that celebrates the life and legacy of a true Texan musical pioneer.
