After years confined to the luminiferous ether, the phantasm of One Big Dark Room emerges from the shadows to grace the mortal stage once more. These songs are melancholy threads woven through tales of love's ruin, grief's cold comfort, and dark nights of the soul. Expect haunted folk, tinges of chamber-pop, and raw alt-rock intimacy. The veil grows thin, the shadows lengthen. The rite begins. Will you answer the call?

Three singer-songwriters hailing from three different countries! Mason Kinard, a local Austinite, will be joined by Elle Sherlock from Ontario and Ismael Torres from Argentina.

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.

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.

Song selections will be wrapped in historical context through narratives, spoken word and samples
