San Antonio music icon Augie Meyers has died at age 85

San Antonio music legend Augie Meyers, known for fusing Tex-Mex and rock as keyboardist for trailblazing ’60s act the Sir Douglas Quintet and Grammy-winning supergroup the Texas Tornados, has died at age 85. The bearded, ponytailed musician beloved for the distinctive reverb-drenched trill of his Vox Continental Organ died in his sleep next to his wife Sara, according to a statement shared on his Facebook page Monday morning. Meyers, who lived in the Texas Hill Country town of Bulverde, was the last survivor among the four original members of The Texas Tornados. His solo hit “(Hey Baby) Que Paso” still draws singalongs on bar jukeboxes across the Alamo City and beyond.Moment. .
