Traditional blues performance by the Little Elmore Reed Blues Band at the iconic Sam's Town Point venue in south Austin.
Little Elmore Reed Blues Band plays Sam's Town Point on Monday, August 3, from 9 PM to 11 PM. It's a south Austin show, and the band is one of the city's longest-running traditional blues acts.
Frontman and namesake Little Elmore Reed leads a rotating collective of veteran Austin blues musicians. They describe themselves as devoted to preserving the sound of classic Chicago blues, Texas blues, West Coast swing, and New Orleans R&B. It's a broad reach for one night, but that's the point—they're pulling from a few different traditions rather than sticking to just one. The rotating lineup means you'll see different veteran players coming through the fold, but Reed is the constant.
Sam's Town Point has been a south Austin icon since 1981, serving up ice-cold beer and live music across two stages, one inside and one out. It sits camouflaged in a wooded neighborhood beyond Slaughter and Manchaca, an area long regarded as the south pole of the city's musical axis and increasingly a happening scene in its own right. If you've spent any time in the city, you know that south Austin has its own distinct pull, and Sam's Town is a good example of that.
