Concert featuring the Joe Marcinek Band with special guest George Porter Jr., a legendary New Orleans R&B bassist and co-founder of The Meters.
George Porter Jr. is playing Antone's Nightclub on Saturday, September 26, as part of the Joe Marcinek Band. It's a late one, with the show listed for 11:59 PM.
If you're not familiar with the name, Porter is a New Orleans R&B bassist who co-founded The Meters alongside Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, and Zigaboo Modeliste—one of the premier funk bands of the 1960s and '70s. He's also put out solo albums, including Runnin' Partner in 1990 and Funk This in 1997. He's a regular guest of the Joe Marcinek Band, a touring jam outfit that blends Chicago blues, New Orleans funk, Grateful Dead psychedelia, and jazz fusion, and bills a different lineup and set every night. That means the set on the 26th will be its own thing, not a repeat of what they played the night before.

The venue is Antone's Nightclub, 305 E 5th St in downtown Austin. It's a 750-capacity room that opened in 1975, when Clifford Antone earned it the nickname "Home of the Blues" by hosting legends from B.B. King to Stevie Ray Vaughan. It still serves the original Po Boys created by Jalal in 1962, so you can grab one before the music starts. The show is on Saturday, September 26, at 11:59 PM.
