Join us for an intimate evening of poetry and song featuring four artists whose work moves across borders, languages, and forms.

Ana López Hurtado, a Colombian poet whose readings blend vulnerability and tenderness with performative intimacy, and César Iván Álvarez-Ibarra, a poet and performance artist from Monterrey whose work engages queer dissidence.

Alongside them, Santiago Villalobos, a Guadalajara-based singer-songwriter whose music combines humor, melancholy, and acoustic bedroom-pop textures, and Víctor Bermúdez (Baytør), a singer-songwriter from the El Paso–Ciudad Juárez border whose acoustic and electric guitar textures blend with a powerful vocal performance.

Together, they create a listening-focused evening where poetry and song meet in a shared space of experimentation, intimacy, and connection.

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. A true gem of the Austin scene, Batch is thrilled to host Julie for what will be an incredible night of music.

Hamidreza Fallahi is Austin’s go-to Persian Setar expert. With a group that bridges Ottoman and Persian classical repertoire with folk and popular tunes from Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean, he explores the shared musical aesthetics that unite the diverse cultures of SWANA and its neighbors…right in your local favorite kolache and craft beer joint.

Diana Burgess and Curtis McMurtry deliver live, emotionally charged Chamber Pop. A Batch House favorite and, dare we say, one the best acts in town.

The Un-Tied Four (Vintage Ties Quartet) brings you the hot riffs and sweet melodies from 1930s and 40s dance halls.
Inspired by the driving sounds of small groups and big band orchestras alike, the group weaves an intricate web of tight arrangements and free-spirited improvisation packed into a 4-piece swing combo.
Get ready for an authentic and unforgettable dancing and listening experience! Every FIRST SATURDAY at BATCH!

Invoke's music sounds impeccable without losing its sense of lightness and joy — no small feat.” – NPR Music.

Jessica Healey lights up Batch with a groove-leaning brand of indie pop that marries vulnerable, razor-sharp lyrics to sly rhythmic twists and jazz-tinged harmony—think Madison Cunningham’s harmonic daring, Fiona Apple’s bite, and Corinne Bailey Rae’s warmth rolled into one. 

A fixture on Austin stages from Sofar Sounds and Austin Music Love sessions to The Mohawk, Elephant Room, Monk’s, and her standing Saturday residency at Jupiter Supper Club, Healey also showcased as an official SXSW 2024 artist and has a slate of new releases dropping soon. (Follow her on Instagram to keep up! @jesshealeymusic)

Backed by Liam O'Dell (bass), Matt Zelenin (keys), and Dillon Brouse (drums), they turn her intimate songs into a full-band party—come grab a pint and hanggggg

Austin's only Brazilian choro band, Caros Amigos ("Dear Friends").   Formed in 2021, Caros Amigos  specializes in the lively, toe-tapping traditional music of Brazil. A “cousin” of samba, choro is mainly an instrumental music featuring upbeat rhythms, lilting melodies, and virtuosic musicianship. Caros Amigos’ song list consists of standards by Brazilian masters as well as originals by the group and their “caros amigos.”

Following Caros Amigos' set, will be a unique community-participation musical experience following the traditions of it's native Brazil - a "roda de choro" ("choro circle") - a "choro jam session." The first monthly roda on July 18, 2026 will be the official inauguration of  The Austin Choro Club open to the participation of students, amateurs, musicians new to the style, and professional musicians to join Caros Amigos in making a big and joyous sound!   The club is open to all ages and any instrumentation, including guitar and other plucked or bowed string instruments, percussion, brass and woodwinds, etc.  The community roda will continue every 3rd Saturday of the month following Caros Amigos' first set at Batch.

BLUESQUEEZEBOX utilizes mostly traditional instruments to create and perform their own songs and carefully curated covers from many styles of American music such as blues, country, jazz and classic rock. They were recently described by a fan as a band that a mescaline-fueled Captain Beefheart might create if he lived in the 1920s.

It’s an experience you won’t forget.

Cento Threeo is an instrumental trio performing original compositions that live somewhere between straight-ahead jazz, a midwestern sunset after a thunderstorm, and Ernie Kovacs’ dressing room. Conversational musical improvisation that ebbs and flows and gives and takes. Featuring Don Cento on electric guitar, Phil Spencer on upright bass and Norm Bergeron on drumset.

Diana Burgess and Curtis McMurtry deliver live, emotionally charged Chamber Pop. A Batch House favorite and, dare we say, one the best acts in town.

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
