It's pretty rare that there's a pop-punk/emo/hardcore show in Lockhart, and we can't wait to go back to our roots! Join us for a great show December 21st with @ourlastdaze, @junkbunny, and Blue Collar Boi! Sweep your bangs over and let's go!

Our Last Daze: Forged from the burgeoning music scene of Central Texas, Our Last Daze is a dynamic and ever evolving force to be reckoned with. Powerful instrumentation shifting from heavy to poppy to soulful, accompanied by catchy vocal melodies with emotive lyrical themes of the debauchery of youth and the existential dread that follows, Our Last Daze is reminiscent of the mid-2000’s Emo/Pop-Punk scene.

JunkBunny: Combining hardcore hooks with a reverence for early 2000s pop-punk, JunkBunny’s sound is anthemically massive while still retaining emotional resonance. Compromised of Mac Johnson (Guitar/Vocals), Isaac Moore (Drums), and Seth Reissig (Bass), the Austin-based trio is releasing their debut album Starting Over on May 3rd before hitting the road. Balancing gigs at gritty dive bars with amphitheaters alongside legendary acts like ZZ Top and Jon Bon Jovi, JunkBunny’s emergence has been as swift and visceral as the sounds they continue laboring over in an underground Austin Studio.

Blue Collar Bois: Just two bois makin’ music

Doors 7 | Show 8 | $10

Join us for a night of beautiful music!

Saturday November 9th at 8pm • $10 cover [doors at 7pm]

On the heels of her stunning new album release, Not Lost, Jennifer Jane Niceley and her mystical country quartet are traveling the back roads to the best haunts that remain. With her transcendent songs and enigmatic band, it can be hard for heady folks to “genrify” and classify the sound; for those who’d rather float away on the frequency, this music is a balm to the soul. Featuring Feathered Mason on baritone guitar, Jason Goforth on pedal steel and ambient harmonica, Clint Mullican on electric bass and Robert Crawford on Drums. 

LASSO are a collective of trans-dimensional multi-instrumentalists based on planet Earth in the city of Austin, TX, testing the limits of both spacetime and genre with psychedelic gusto. Their 2022 eponymous debut orbits somewhere at the astronomical midpoint of German experimentalists Tangerine Dream and honky tonk legend Hank Williams. LASSO deliver a rocking twang drenched in psychedelic shimmer, launching your favorite dusty beer joint clean through the stratosphere on a venture to uncharted galaxies with Lone Star in hand.

RITA BLISS - Rita Bliss is a folk musician from Rochester, New York and is now based in Austin Texas. Though a Rust Belt native, Rita’s melodies are rooted in familiar old-time banjo sounds that evoke travels along the backroads of the South. Influenced by John Prine, Joni Mitchell, and Nanci Griffith, Rita’s songwriting weaves together timeless love stories with long drives, porch gatherings, and letters between loved ones. The love stories are unabashedly queer, the porch gatherings are sometimes rowdy, and the conversations often touch on true-to-life mental health challenges.

Rita is releasing two singles from her debut solo album, "Peaches and Apple Pies," in May and June of 2024. Produced by Grammy-nominated musician Dom Fisher, the album will feature "Drive You to Kentucky", "The Best Bar in Texas", and "Two Dollar Bill" with a release date of July, 2024. She'll be making stops in Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, and Nashville this spring and can otherwise be found in and around Austin.

It’s FIRST FRIDAY! You know what that means - according to tradition stated in the ancient lore, we have to throw an awesome show with Plum Creek Records!

This month we’re welcoming back one of our favorite bands of ALL TIME: Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, along with Heavy Meddo and Half Dream!

GTC is a Bad mofo. He makes cowboy kraut with his band NASA Country & also lots of Tex-Mex rock n' roll. He is San Antonio’s resident cosmic country gonzo honky tonk weirdo freak. He is a national treasure in Holland. He can usually be found at The Lonesome Rose, the bar he owns in the city he was born in. foo.

Heavy Meddo enjoys long walks on the Faust tapes, some lingering fumes of a youthful infatuation with James Joyce, smattering of samples, loud guitar
(the ventures), postrock/postpunk/post-using-the-word-post, dusk nearby cubist castle, tape manipulation , collage in every sense

Half Dream is a rock n’ roll band based in Austin fronted by songwriter Paige Renée Berry (guitar, vocals), along with Laine Higgins (lead guitar), Wes Armstrong (drums) Mike Wade (bass), and Carrie Fussel (harmony vocals, texture). Formed in 2018, Half Dream began with the name and songs of Paige Renée Berry and changed their moniker to reflect the ethereal and collaborative nature of the sound. Paige Berry’s songwriting explores identity, overcoming trauma, & moving past fear. Floating melodies find punch in driving hooks that highlight vocal subtleties, landing somewhere between dream and tenuous reality. These songs were born from a love of storytelling, radical empathy, and unfiltered expression from artists like Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Helen Reddy, Liz Phair.

It’s time for our September Open Mic Night! Come sing a song, follow along with our flash fiction prompts, read a poem, tell some jokes, or anything else!

We’ve got everyone's favorite - Sploot, giving us those 90s/00s rock & roll vibes, plus Blackwülf, riff-rock outfit from Oakland, CA!

What distinguishes BLACKWÜLF from many of their contemporaries is a strong emphasis on “songs” rather than “sounds”, delivering a wide slab of listenable vintage-style heavy metal that draws its strengths from imaginative content and quality performance. We'll have earplugs, you bring your ears.

There is NO COVER for this show, so tip the hell out of your bands.

Join us on Wed Sep 18th for live music from Lockhart’s own Jim “Bear” Mugford and Ben White. It will be a night of melodic folk, story telling, and good vibes. See you there!
