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.  

Websters RETURNS for a special record release party out back!

Webster‘s ragtime trio is a throwback to a style of music that went largely unrecorded. Around the turn-of-the-century, it is said that there was lots of string bands, i.e. mandolin, banjo, guitar, bow cello, playing the popular hits of the day including classic ragtime compositions like the Maple leaf rag. Although that type of music was composed for marching bands and solo piano performance, it is hard not to notice how joyful it sounds played on acoustic stringed instruments. 

  And they don’t stop there, they more than dip their toes into ragged Texas Fiddle tunes from the 78 RPM era, even venturing across the pond to play the occasional archaic Polish mazurka, and/or striking up borderland polka Harkening back to the glory days of Tejas. 

   Alexander Jones, Will Webster, and Westen Borghesi make up this fine trio. 

Now on first Wednesdays!

Singer, guitarist, and musical time-traveler Holly Frost returns to Batch for an evening of timeless charm. Drawing from the golden era of the American and international songbooks (1920s jazz, 1930s swing, 1940s torch songs, 1950s country ballads, and early Latin favorites), Holly brings a playful mix of historical reverence and personal flair to the stage. Whether she's reviving a forgotten verse or unveiling an original tune dressed in mid-century style, it's a thoughtfully spun set for lovers of history, melody, and a good story well told.
