Wednesday, September 11: Jelly Roll and Friends
Let’s kick things off with none other than the sensational Jelly Roll hitting the stage at the Frost Bank Center. This guy’s journey is pretty inspiring. From facing tough times and making some questionable choices in his youth in Tennessee to now being a celebrated artist, Jelly Roll has truly turned his life around. He’s gained massive recognition by blending hip-hop with country, and he’s working his magic on a new album titled Beautifully Broken, set to drop in October. It’s no wonder that he’s been selling out arenas! Tickets start at just $39.50 and the concert is set to kick off at 7 p.m. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!
Saturday, September 14: Celebrating Local Music
Then, on Saturday, get ready for a special treat as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the indie-rock radio show Music For Listeners—a beloved program that has been a staple in our community! This free concert at Trinity University’s Laurie Auditorium will feature some amazing acts including Voxtrot, known for their catchy pop tunes, quirky locals Buttercup, and dreamy elves Blushing from Austin. It’s an event that promises passion and an eclectic mix of sounds. What a great way to celebrate both old and new music lovers alike! Doors open at 7 p.m. and did we mentioned it’s free?
On the Horizon: Evan Honer and More
Looking ahead to Tuesday, September 17, we’re welcoming another rising star, Evan Honer, to town! This young folk artist is making waves with his fresh take on Americana, inspired by the likes of Jason Isbell and Tyler Childers. At just 22, Evan has already tallied an impressive 50 million listens across his platforms, showing just how much folks connect with his music. Joining him will be Wells Ferrari, a band that’s currently reinvigorating those groovy sounds of the ’60s and ’70s. Just a heads up, though—this show is already sold out, so if you don’t have tickets, you might have to catch them next time around!
A Dreamy Evening with Cigarettes After Sex
And for those of you who love a more dreamy soundscape, mark your calendars for Cigarettes After Sex as they bring their ethereal vibes to the Frost Bank Center as well. With their latest album X’s recently released, expect to be swept away by their haunting melodies and tender lyrics. Tickets for this enchanting show start at $34.50 and it’s sure to be a night wrapped in mystique and romance, kicking off at 8 p.m.
