Bruce Smith Band

Bruce Smith Band plays Güero's Taco Bar on Friday, August 28, in Austin. It's a single-bill night with the band as the main feature, so the whole evening is built around their set.

If you've seen them around town, you know the drill: the Bruce Smith Band is led by Bruce Smith, who fronts the group and handles the vocals. They're a working band that plays out in the city, and this is one of their scheduled dates for the summer. The set will be their own material, with the band taking the stage as the sole act of the night.

Güero's is on South Congress, and the show runs from 6 PM to 9 PM, which puts it in that early-evening window—late enough to be a night out, but early enough that you're not staying up until the early hours. It's a three-hour block, so there's plenty of room for a full set without them having to rush through it. If you're coming from across town, that South Congress location means you're right in the middle of the neighborhood, with plenty of spots nearby to grab a drink or a bite before or after.

So, the details: Bruce Smith Band at Güero's Taco Bar, 1412 South Congress Ave, Austin, 78704, on Friday, August 28, from 6 PM to 9 PM.
