Caroline Sears, Ben DuBois, & Alex Riegelman

Caroline Sears, Ben DuBois, and Alex Riegelman are playing together at Hole in the Wall on Wednesday, August 5. It's a three-name bill, with all three sharing the stage for the night.

If you've spent any time around the Campus area, you know the room. Hole in the Wall opened in 1974 as a folkie hangout and served as a favorite stage for Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, and Blaze Foley. Over the years it shifted toward punk, cosmic country, and alternative, launching the careers of Timbuk3, Fastball, Spoon, and Shakey Graves. It's a historic two-stage dive with a collective capacity of a couple hundred, and it still features live music every night. It's long worked as a proving ground for new bands, and it's always been a shoestring effort—it briefly shuttered in 2002 and came dangerously close to being priced out in 2015. This year, it was named Readers Poll Dive Bar of Austin.

The show starts at 6 PM at 2538 Guadalupe, in the heart of the Campus area. There's no cover, though it is 21+.
