Live Music from 7-10pm

7:10pm-Bruce Smith

No performer has graced the Safe House stage with a more ferocious performance than Bruce Smith, another Foundation scholar. The way he wails at a fever pitch, brings it all down to a whisper and rocks all the spaces in between, while always maintaining intensity and integrity, earns him a growing following that spans genre boundaries. Bruce Smith is a seasoned singer-songwriter whose heartfelt storytelling and melodic craftsmanship have endeared him to audiences far and wide. His last album, “1000 Horses,” was released to excellent reviews and his monumental “59 Stratocaster” - a Buddy Holly tribute tune - is destined for film scores.

7:40pm-Axiom

 Based in Asutin a sharp, lyrical hip-hop artist known for thoughtful bars, commanding delivery, and a distinctive presence in Austin’s hip-hop scene. Blending clever wordplay with honest perspectives, Axiom brings both substance and energy to every performance.  

His Flow is unparalleled, and his lyrics rich and evocative. He drops beats like Reggie White used to drop Quarterbacks, with force and power. He wowed the crowd at the Buddy Holly Pool Party, and now he brings the noise at the ACL Kickoff

8:20pm-Lina Clarke & Johnny Storbeck

Our next Buddy Holly Alumni bringing sweet new Sounds is Johnny Storbeck, whose Shaws of Awe have wowed us in the past, now has a totally different but just as special Duo act that is guaranteed to impress:

Grounded and steeped in Blues & Soul music, Lina and Johnny bring a fresh cup to their acoustic set.  Lina Clarke's originals transport you to a time of sultry, smoky, dim lit clubs with velvet walls.  Hailing from the Texas Hill Country, the music flows as beautifully as the San Marcos river; come dive in!

9:20pm-Russel Taine, Jr.

Last up is Wes Armstrong, a Founding Member of the legendary Austin Power Pop group and frequent Buddy Party performer Edison Chair has a new gig - playing with the multitalented Russel Taine, Jr., and this Rhythm King says prepared to be amazed: 

Based in Austin, TX, Russel Taine Jr. "channels millennial pop-punk through Uncle Tupelo" in a Texas-sized sound that's been described as “If Tom Petty were from Texas, but with more Iggy Pop.”

As always we will add to the lineup, and surprises are almost always guaranteed - so put this on the calendar and don’t be late!

Best,
