ScoreMore now routes tours through nine markets in the Southwest, including Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, San Marcos, and more, producing more than 150 club shows per year, not including its festival properties: JMBLYA in both Dallas and Austin, and its partnership with Neon Desert Music Festival in El Paso. ScoreMore also helped to bring about one of the most successful and sought-after events in SXSW history, The ILLMORE, which concluded in 2016. The Austin-based group now regularly books shows with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, J.

In an effort to give back and show appreciation to the surrounding San Antonio community, Mala Luna Music Festival is donating a portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold to Network for Young Artists (NYA), a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides affordable classes in voice, guitar, percussion, keyboard, and dance for San Antonio-area youth ages 4-20. This partnership with NYA helps to further ScoreMore Shows’ ongoing commitment to supporting underserved students through providing incentives and culturally relevant opportunities at its various shows and festivals.
