Take a quick look at the expected concerts between June and August.

June 13th: Record company in Rose Park
Record company
Singles like “Off the Ground” and “Life to Fix” praised the Los Angeles band to listeners. As AllMusic explains, the marriage of rock, blues and “classic vinyl” has made him the perfect partner for touring acts such as John Mayer, BB King, and Bob Cigar.

June 28: Interstellar Overdrive: Homage to Pink Floyd
The local artist Byron’s neighbor and his vast cast of characters focus on details and even follow their own drums while still faithful to Floyd’s spirit.

August 8: Emily Neni at Rose Music Hall
Emily Neni
Nenni offers a killer country sound with Jukebox Classics roots, but its restless feet are constantly moving.

August 23rd Kelsey Waldon at Rose Music Hall

Flip-N will take a portrait in a politician’s tent on October 6, 2024. Dave Creaney special for Austin American politicians.
Florida Flipturn, as Marcy Donelson of Allmusic, points out, “trade in indie rock with lush driving, passionate hooks abound.” The band’s sounds are dreamy enough to kick out summer dog days and squeeze the most out of their rest.
