JD Simo Duo
Friday, September 11 | 8 PM

JD Simo has played every guitar part on Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis soundtrack, coached Jeremy Allen White on Scott Cooper’s upcoming Springsteen biopic, and was tapped as guitarist for Chris Isaak’s 2025 tours. He has collaborated with Jack White, Tommy Emmanuel, Phil Lesh & Friends, Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, and Beyoncé. Guitar World, Vintage Guitar, and Paste Magazine have all called him one of today’s most innovative and sought-after guitarists.

He plays Hill Country blues with psychedelic textures, deep grooves, and fiery improvisation. Live, he performs as the JD Simo Duo alongside long-time collaborator and drummer Adam Abrashoff — a background spanning jazz, rock, and afrobeat. Two people, raw energy, no net.

“It’s about capturing raw, honest energy. Adam and I tap into the groove, let it flow, and let the music speak for itself.” — JD Simo, Premier Guitar

A Matinee with Reed Foehl
Saturday, August 29 | 2 PM Doors 1PM

Born into a musical family in a small New England town, Reed Foehl started as a street singer on the streets of Boston and has gone on to release over 11 studio albums. He writes songs like postcards from the long way home — weathered, honest, and quietly devastating. Rooted in American folk, his music carries the weight of loss, love, and survival, told with a voice that sounds lived-in and unafraid. Grammy-nominated for Fly, co-written with Brent Cobb and covered by Lee Ann Womack. His seventh album is due in 2026, recorded in Woodstock, NY with Gregory Alan Isakov, Jeffrey Martin, Anna Tivel, Rich Hinman, and Jeb Bows. He lives in the Green Mountains of Vermont and tours across the globe.

“Foehl places the listener out on a remote stretch of highway, mind-swept in gorgeously emotive sonic landscapes. His arrangements are cinematic, his vocal delivery enrapturing, yet delicate.” — Relix
“Reed has the ability to transport the soul, a true master. One of the great songwriters of our time.” — Gregory Alan Isakov
“Reed’s songs hit you in the heart, and everything else falls away.” — Anaïs Mitchell
“I don’t think they make better singer-songwriters than him.” — Todd Snider

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29

The Animeros
Friday, August 21 | 8 PM

Nick Tozzo, Nicolas Sanchez, and Mauro Lopez formed The Animeros in Austin in 2024 — each of them bringing a different thread of Latin music to the same room. Sanchez grew up in Colombia with salsa and cumbia playing in his parents’ house. Lopez’s parents’ records spanned traditional Tejano to improvised jazz. Tozzo fell in love with salsa in college and moved to Colombia to study folkloric cumbia firsthand. When they found each other in Austin, they built something tighter and more visceral than any of the bands they had been in before.

Their music drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas — cumbia, bolero, mambo, psychedelia, and rock, all of it built for the dance floor. “The way we think about it is we usher souls to the dancefloor. Forget about your problems, get out there and get sweaty with us.”

Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys heard their music floating from a hotel window and tracked them down. He signed them to his Easy Eye Sound label and produced their debut album ¡Qué Bárbaro! in Nashville.
