Jazz trumpeter D.K. Harrell performs live with Red & His Hot Horns at the historic Antone's Nightclub in Austin.
D.K. Harrell is playing Antone's on Saturday, August 22, and he's not coming alone. He'll be backed by Red & His Hot Horns, a full horn section that puts a brassy, big-band weight behind his voice. If you've seen Harrell before, you know he's a singer who can hold a room on his own, but adding a horn section changes the whole shape of the night. It turns a vocal set into something closer to a revue, with the brass filling out the sound and pushing the energy up.
Antone's is a natural fit for this kind of lineup. It's a room built for the blues and for voices that can cut through a band, and having a horn section on stage brings back that classic, high-energy sound the place is known for. Between Harrell's vocals and Red's horns, there's plenty of firepower to fill the space, and the two act as a single unit rather than a singer with a backing band.

The show is on Saturday, August 22, with the music starting at 8 PM. Doors open at 7 PM, so you've got an hour to get in and find your spot before the first note. If you're planning to grab a drink or a table, arriving closer to 7 PM is your best bet. It's a Saturday night at one of the city's most storied stages, and with a full horn section in the mix, it's a good one to get to early.
