Jazz concert by the Mitch Watkins Trio at the iconic Elephant Room in Austin, featuring tasteful, lyrical playing spanning jazz and folk.
The Mitch Watkins Trio plays Elephant Room on Tuesday, September 1, starting at 6 PM. It's part of a regular Tuesday night slot the trio holds at the club, so if you miss this one, you can catch them again the following week.
Watkins is a guitarist who's been playing since he was 13, starting out in a surf band in McAllen, Texas. From there, his career took him far beyond the coast: he toured the world several times with Leonard Cohen, and he's backed a wide range of artists, from Lyle Lovett to Cohen. Jazz Times once called him "a man for all musical seasons," and the trio's set reflects that. They play tasteful, lyrical jazz that pulls in folk and other styles, and they're billed as "Austin guitar royalty."
Elephant Room is the city's iconic Congress Avenue basement club, where live jazz plays nightly. The basement stage hosts the trio every Tuesday, so this isn't a one-off date—it's a regular part of the room's weekly lineup. If you're looking for a night of jazz in a spot that's a fixture of the Austin scene, this is a good place to start.
