Live music performance by Carter Hampton & the Road Dogs at the East Austin dive bar Carousel Lounge.
Carter Hampton & the Road Dogs play Carousel Lounge on Thursday, August 27, with the set starting at 4 PM. It's a late-afternoon slot, so you can catch the music and still have your whole evening ahead of you.
If you haven't spent much time there, Carousel Lounge is an East Austin dive on 52nd Street. It's known for casual revelry and elephant-themed decor that matches its jukebox, and it books a rotating roster of local acts, most of them gratis. Over the years it's picked up several Best of Austin Awards: Critics' Pick Best Lounge Act in 1996, Critics' Pick Best Bars To Relive Your Childhood in 1997, Critics' Pick Best Other Club in 1999, Readers' Poll Most Nostalgic Phone Booth in 2000, and Critics' Pick Best Hostess With the Mostess in 2001.

It's a cash-only spot, 21 and up, and it holds no more than 100 seats, so it stays on the smaller, more intimate side. The show is on Thursday, August 27, at 4 PM, at 1110 E. 52nd in East Austin.
