Strawbitty Yops

Strawbitty Yops play Jo's Coffee on Sunday, July 26, from 10 AM to noon. They're part of the Brunch Bunch, the monthly gathering Jo's hosts on the last Sunday of each month, so this is one of those mid-morning slots that fits right into a slow weekend.

Jo's has been a fixture in Austin since 1999, known for its dogs, music, and regulars. The South Congress location—1300 S. Congress, at South Congress and South First—is billed as the best people-watching spot in the 78704, serving coffees, lattes, and a selection of baked goods. The Austin Chronicle has called their fried pies the best in town, and the room is open to all ages, so it's an easy spot to bring kids or a dog along. The Red River location has its own resident act, the Jo's House Band, and the two spots have hosted the Jo's Annual Chili Cook-off and South by San José over the years.

Admission is free, and the music runs from 10 AM to noon, so you can catch the whole set over coffee and a pastry. It's a morning show on a Sunday, which makes it a low-stakes way to spend a few hours in South Congress.
