Country music concert with Johnny McGowan's Rugged Gents at The Continental Club, a 21+ only show.
Johnny McGowan's Rugged Gents play The Continental Club on Monday, August 31, with the music starting at 10 PM. Doors open an hour before, at 9 PM, so there's plenty of time to get a drink and find a spot before they take the stage.
Johnny McGowan is an Austin-based musician, bandleader, and songwriter who's known across the Texas music scene for his energetic showmanship. He fronts the Rugged Gents, a mainstay at dancehalls across the Lone Star state, and their sets are built around 'TWANGy' takes on boot-scootin' classics from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. The set pays homage to country greats like Ernest Tubb, Dave Dudley, and Glen Campbell—names that'll mean something to anyone who knows the honky-tonk tradition.
