Ella Reid

Ella Reid plays Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Tuesday, September 29, at 3 PM. It's a solo set from an Austin singer-songwriter who's built her name on the city's club circuit, and the venue is right in the terminal, so you can catch her between flights or just hang out for the afternoon.

Reid describes her sound as a blend of Americana, soul, pop, jazz and country, and that's a fair summary. It's a wide net, but the common thread is a voice that can shift from a quiet, conversational tone to something with a lot more power. She's known for that kind of intimate, conversational style on stage, and she's a regular on Texas stages like the Saxon Pub and Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse. Her work sits at the intersection of Americana, neo-soul and country.

There's new material to hear, too. Her latest single, "Nobody But Me," is about embracing every part of who we are, and "Lemon & Lime" collects nine singles she released over nine months. If you've been following her, those singles are the core of what she's been working on lately.

It's a mid-afternoon show on a Tuesday, so it's a low-stakes way to spend a few hours. The set starts at 3 PM at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, 3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719.
