With Hanna Salmon, Abdullah Alqaroot, and Dimitris Gkoulimaris
Join us for an evening of folktales at Batch on September 15, 2026 at 7PM.
The evening kicks off with a lecture presentation by ethnomusicologist Hanna Salmon. The presentation will discuss the histories, repertoires, and performance practices of various folktale storytelling traditions.
Over the course of the evening we will hear musical storytelling performances by Hanna Salmon, Abdullah Alqaroot, and Dimitris Gkoulimaris, featuring folk tales from Scotland, Appalachia, and Palestine, about various topics from hunting dogs to za’atar.

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.

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.

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 Texas Folklife convening brings together folk and traditional musicians, dancers, and culture bearers from various regions of Texas for a weekend in Austin. The event kicks off on Friday evening with a Welcome Night at Batch. Participating artists will share traditional music, dance, and storytelling in short performances. 

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.  

To learn more about Caros Amigos and sign up for the Austin Choro Club, please check out the page on the link below for more information.  We'd love to see you there!

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

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.  

EVERY FIRST WEDNESDAY @ BATCH!

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.
