A deep soul experience featuring funk, soul and jazz played by the Michael Hale Organ Trio at The Continental Club Gallery.
The Michael Hale Organ Trio plays The Continental Club Gallery every Monday night, with the music starting at 10:30 PM. It's a late one, so if you're planning to make it, you'll want to keep that in mind.
At the front of the trio is Michael Hale, a drummer you've likely heard behind Tameca Jones, Afrofreque, and Chicken Strut, and a regular presence across much of Austin's soul and jazz scene. The band bills itself as a deep soul experience, and the set follows that description: a mix of funk, soul, and jazz, with the organ taking center stage. It's the kind of music that sits right in that pocket where those three styles overlap, and the late-night slot at the Gallery is a natural fit for it.
If you're not already familiar with the sound, the organ is the lead here, and the trio builds around it. The funk provides the groove, the soul brings the melody, and the jazz lets the songs breathe, and they pull from all three throughout the night. It's a straightforward, organ-led set that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.
