Scott Collins

Scott Collins plays Hattie B's Hot Chicken on Tuesday, September 22, starting at 5 PM. He's an Austin-based singer-songwriter working in indie-folk and Americana, so if you're into that side of the local scene, this is right in your wheelhouse. The set is built around his own songs, and as a local act, he's playing right here in the city.

Indie-folk and Americana are broad labels, but they point to the same general territory: acoustic-leaning songs with a focus on the voice and the lyrics. The folk side brings the storytelling and the stripped-back arrangements, while the Americana side pulls in those country and roots influences. Together, they make for the kind of music that works as well in a quiet room as it does in a more social spot. Since he's Austin-based, this is a hometown show, and the set is his own material.

The venue is Hattie B's Hot Chicken, over in the Domain NORTHSIDE. It's not a traditional music venue, which changes the whole vibe of the evening. Instead of a dark club with a stage and a soundboard, you've got a restaurant setting where the music happens alongside the food. It's a different way to catch a set—you can grab a meal and a drink and listen from a table, rather than standing in a crowd. If you're looking for something more relaxed than a typical show, that's exactly what this is.

It all goes down on Tuesday, September 22, at 5 PM at Hattie B's Hot Chicken in the Domain NORTHSIDE. Scott Collins is the only name on the bill, so the whole set is his.
