Some of the local musicians who helped to shape Eastwood were teachers as well as professional musicians; others were from local military bands. Some went on to international fame.

 

The local instrumentalists and singers included Clifford "Honky Tonk" Scott, June Parker, Cora Woods, Mary Parchman, David Hegwood, Jitterbug Webb, and Marcus Adams.

 

A number of young white musicians from the San Antonio area, including Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers, and Chris Holzhaus, patronized and performed at the club and were influenced by the venue's impressive lineup of blues and soul acts.

 

A favorite of the Eastwood crowd was Miss Wiggles, a dancing contortionist whose act included standing on her head atop a spinning chair. There was also a popular dancer by the name of Vanilla Wafer.
