Chaparral w/ Jeff Hughes & Tracie Lynn

Chaparral and Jeff Hughes play the dancehall at the Broken Spoke on Thursday, September 24, with Tracie Lynn taking the restaurant earlier in the evening. It's a double-bill that lets you stretch the night out if you're in the mood.

Tracie Lynn starts things off in the restaurant from 6 to 8 PM. She's from Portland, Texas, and that's where you'll find her for the first half of the evening. The restaurant is the early part of the night, and there's no cover to get in—the bands play for tips. If you're coming for dinner, it's a good spot to settle in before the dancehall takes over.

At 9 PM, the action moves to the dancehall, where Chaparral and Jeff Hughes take the stage. Both are Austin-based, so they're playing on home turf. The Broken Spoke has been around since 1964, when James M. White opened it, and it's known as the 'Last of the True Texas Dancehalls.' It's a live music venue that serves homestyle meals, and its chicken fried steak is the one it's most famous for. Dinner and show run Tuesday through Saturday, 6 to 8 PM in the restaurant with no cover, and the bands play for tips. The venue also offers two-step lessons and dancehall nights.

So, if you want the full evening, you can start with Tracie Lynn in the restaurant from 6 to 8 PM and then head over to the dancehall for Chaparral and Jeff Hughes at 9 PM. The Spoke is at 3201 S. Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704.
