Julie Slim is a Lebanese-Palestinian-American multilingual jazz/world vocalist based in Austin, TX.  She founded her band, Julie Slim & RendezVous, in 2013, bringing forth the cultural influences that shaped her life. A child of the world, Julie aims to create cultural bridges and heart connections through her warm vocals which are known to soothe, uplift, and transport her listeners.

This month, the theme of the concert is Songs from the Homeland, featuring some of Julie's friends from her world music tribe: Sari Andoni on oud, Michael Mikulka on trumpet and mijwiz, and Haitham Gabr on Darbuka. The concert will highlight songs from West Asia, notably Palestine and Lebanon that hold special meaning to Julie. 

For the Sake of the Song songwriters night is a free community event, a celebration of song, and a showcase of incredible local songwriters every 1st Tuesday of the month. It's an excuse to get together, to create community, to center our lives on Song, on sharing, on story. Host songwriter Matthew Payne brings together both emerging and established independent songwriters each month, so it’s a chance to hear your soon-to-be-favorite up and coming songwriter, and catch that songwriter you already love in a stripped down set – either way, the evening is designed to inspire you to fall in love with the real Austin music scene.  

Join us for a conversation with David Griscom, author of The Myth of Red Texas: Cowboys, Populism, and Class War in the Radical South and Alex Birnel, organizer and founding member of MOVE Texas, as they discuss how we tell the story of Texas who’s been left out of those narratives, and how telling a more expansive story of this state can help us forge a path to democratic movement-building in the Lone Star State.

Formed by Austin drummer Kevin Witt, who studied in NYC with veteran timekeepers, Jimmy Cobb, Cindy Blackman and Peter Retzlaff, B-Side is group so dedicated to the classic hard bop ethos they prefer to dig into the second sides of great albums, rather than stick with the traditional standards. Expect Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and their peers, but not necessarily the songs you expect. Song selections will be wrapped in historical context through narratives, spoken word and samples

woodwork is an Austin-based group equally embracing contemporary classical idioms and joyful indie rock melodies, immersed in the unique soundworld of the asalato/kashaka, marimba, and oboe. Acclaimed as “euphoric, ambient, and comforting” (Nopality Mag), their distinctive sound is grounded in both the indie classical scene and the composer-percussionist lineage. They have found success in live music platforms and venues across Austin, TX; sharing the stage with artists such as Ivan Trevino, Louis Raymond-Kolker, and Maru Haru.

woodwork was founded in the spring of 2025 at the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, and consists of Davin Cai (marimba), Thomas Almendra (oboe), and Sebastian Zhang (asalato/kashaka).

"Nicole Hale is a deeply thoughtful songwriter and sound sculptor drawing inspiration from a life fully lived in every capacity. Lindsey Verrill, Austin musician writing her third act under the current moniker Little Mazarn (a cool float a few feet from the ground through a dimly lit, almost familiar forest)."

Twelve-year-old Ira Thorne has been composing songs since before he could compose a sentence. From an early age, he was exposed to roots music—songs that draw from folk and cultural heritage genres—by his musician father, Brent Clifton. Ira naturally gravitated towards learning guitar, piano, harmonica, and, more recently, the fiddle. It is his reflective lyric writing that is most noted as being advanced beyond his age.

Ira’s talent, dedication, and love for roots music are seen in his first EP, End of the Morning, which is available on major streaming platforms. This year, Ira won the Youth Talent Contest at Old Settler’s Music Festival, earning him both a cash award and a coveted showcase slot at next year’s festival. 

Sammy Epstein (Sammy's Satin Sounds) and Jamey Cummins (Rent Party) team up to play swing dance tunes.

Batch's legendary weekend Jazz Jam hosted by The Goulds, every 2nd and 4th Sunday. Bring your axe, or just relax. Regardless, good times will be had.

Fausto/Faustito was formed in 2018 by Mike Molnar (guitar), Andrew Pacheco (bass) and Chris Sensat (drums). The three had been touring extensively as the backing band for Whitney Rose; Mike and Chris had previously rounded out the beloved “Workingman’s” Bellfuries lineup. The all-instrumental F/F is an ongoing workshop for their rock and roll, jazz, and C+W ideas (hence the debut release “Country and Western”).

Since Andrew Pacheco’s relocation to his native Toronto, F/F regularly collaborate with such Austin, TX bass greats as Michael Archer, Josh Williams and Phil Spencer. Performances are characterized by rollicking rhythm-section choogle, and a near-mania for guitar improvisation.


“A Tele ace in a town full of Tele aces, Mike Molnar has found his niche as the uncommon twanger with the Bellfuries and other artists. Sure, he has buckets of chicken-pickin’ chops, but he’s also a modernist who combines new harmonies with bold compositions.”

Go Yotai mixes Klezmer, Greek, Classical, Brazillian, and Cartoon music with a dash of zip and heaps of sweat into something uniquly itself. With: Gabriel Lit (Clarinet), Wen Chang-Lit (violin), Constantine Caramanis (Accordion), Dylan Jones (upright bass) and Bruno Vinezof (percussion)
