Silo Road

Silo Road are back at The White Horse on Sunday, August 9, for another night of their long-running Sunday residency. If you've spent any time around the East Austin honky-tonk scene, you've likely run into them—they're an Austin-based honky-tonk, Americana, and Texicana band that plays the kind of dancehall music that's been the backbone of Texas bars for decades, just with a modern edge. The set is built on twangy guitars, rich harmonies, and a mix of traditional country, outlaw, and roots-rock influences, and they've built a loyal following around it.

What sets them apart from a lot of the country acts around town is where they look for their sound. Rather than chasing mainstream country trends, they lean into the authentic sounds of Texas dance halls, putting together a set that blends their own original songs with carefully chosen covers. It's the kind of music that fits as well on a dance floor as it does if you're just leaning against the bar listening.

And they're especially at home at The White Horse, which is one of Austin's premier honky-tonk venues. The residency format means they're a regular fixture here, so this isn't a one-off show—it's part of a long-standing Sunday night tradition. If you're looking for a night of Texas dancehall music that doesn't try to be anything other than that, this is a good place to start.

The music runs from 7:30 PM to 1:00 AM, so you've got plenty of room to settle in, and there's a $5 cover at the door. The White Horse is at 500 Comal Street in East Austin.
