Ryan Beatty

Ryan Beatty plays the Historic Scoot Inn on Sunday, October 4, as part of the ACL Fest Nights series presented by American Express. The series takes the music of the festival and spreads it across venues around the city, and this one is billed as all ages.

Beatty comes from Clovis, California, and is known for emotive vocals and introspective songwriting—a sound that blends indie-pop sensibilities with a soulful delivery. The set is expected to draw from his latest album alongside fan favorites, so you'll hear the new material and the older songs in the same night. The outdoor stage at the Scoot Inn lends a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that suits his nuanced pop style, and the all-ages billing means you can bring whoever you want.

If you're not familiar with him, Beatty's work sits at the intersection of pop and soul, with a focus on the voice and the songwriting. The emotive quality of his singing is a good place to start if you're trying to get a sense of what he does. The show is part of the ACL Fest Nights series, which is American Express's way of bringing the festival's music into venues throughout Austin during the festival season.

It's a Sunday show, so it's a good one to keep on your radar if you're around for the festival. The set starts at 5 PM at the Historic Scoot Inn, and it's all ages.
