An Unofficial Showcase featuring an officially badass lineup curated by Diana Burgess and Curtis McMurtry
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.
Carol Anne Bosco’s songs are folk and jazz inspired, and arranged for a chameleon band that can be as small as a solo set, as big as a ten-piece band with rhythm section and string quartet arrangements. She writes with an emphasis on interesting melody lines, energetic grooves, and ranging solos.
Born Again Virgin, an alt-rock act, is the project of Anna Roenigk, a songwriter originally from Austin, Texas, but now based in London. Her music explores dissonant and melodic sensibilities, with some tracks echoing 90's lo-fi grunge and others playing on chamber pop theatrics.
FREE/ALL AGES/ALL are WELCOME
Come join INVOKE, Austin’s premier genre-bending String Quartet, for an evening of experimentation and collaboration with brilliant groups from the local Austin scene and beyond.

Invoke's music sounds impeccable without losing its sense of lightness and joy — no small feat.” – NPR Music.
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
Wish Nat King Cole a belated happy birthday with Luke Allen and Friends!
Dual threat trumpet player/crooner Luke Allen (“Austin #1 Jazz Entertainer”) teams up with pianist and veteran Austin Jazzer Shane Dickens and special guests Ryan Gould (bass) and Jamie Cummings (guitar) for a toe-tapping, flapper-flapping good time.
Batch's legendary weekend Jazz Jam hosted by The Goulds, every 2nd and 4th Sunday. Bring your axe, or just relax. Regardless, good times will be had.
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.
Sound Collective is the vocal ensemble of the Circle of Fifths, created for singers of all abilities to make music together in ways that are joyful, expressive, and deeply collaborative.
At its heart, Sound Collective is about belonging—and it is also about performance, artistry, and excellence. What makes the ensemble distinctive is not our commitment to performance, but the way we define and pursue excellence. Rather than asking people to conform to traditional expectations, we design the music, rehearsals, and performances around the musicians in the room. The result is music-making that is alive, authentic, deeply human, and full of joy.
Batch favorites Simon Waxman and Chelsea Burns lead this dynamic bluegrass outfit that will brighten your happy hour and hurt you where it feels good.

Come celebrate the latest single release from Deer Fellow!
Austin-based duo Deer Fellow serves up cozy indie folk-pop with “comforting yet bold musicality.” Matt Salois (vocals, electric guitar, looping, percussion) and Alyssa Kelly (vocals, violin, keys) have built a cross-genre sound that “stirs hearts with each carefully crafted note.”
Often compared to the likes of Andrew Bird and Arlo Parks, the two's vocal harmonies and unique guitar-violin blends have landed them features in Earmilk, EASTside Magazine, and the Austin American-Statesman to name a few. As official SXSW performers and recent recipients of a Sonic Guild grant, Deer Fellow continues to grow their indie presence with support from House of Sync and Community Music. Matt and Alyssa — new Recording Academy Members — will release their first full-length album, Hues, in early 2026.

An urban girl with a southern heart and eastern roots, Nita was born in Mississippi and raised just outside of Washington DC. After years of learning classical piano and singing with her musical family, she knew in her late teens that singing and songwriting was her calling. Since then, Nita’s gypsy spirit has taken her to live and perform in cities like DC, NYC, LA, Austin, London, Copenhagen and Berlin. With influences like Tori Amos and Sara Bareilles, her originals are at times emotional, heartfelt, & passionate, but also soothing & healing as well.
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.

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.
