The Damn Quails, an Americana and Red Dirt band, perform live at The White Horse in Austin.
The Damn Quails play The White Horse on Saturday, November 14, at 9 PM. They're an Americana and Red Dirt band, and this is a headlining date with them as the sole act on the bill.
If you're not already familiar with the terms, Americana is the broad umbrella—country, folk, and roots music meeting in the middle—and Red Dirt is the specific strain that grew out of the Oklahoma and Texas plains. It's music that leans into the songwriting and the storytelling, usually played by a full band with a live, unpolished sound. That's the territory The Damn Quails work in, and it's a good fit for a Saturday night in Austin.
The show is at The White Horse, 500 Comal St, in East Austin. It's a venue that's built around this kind of music, and having the band as the only name on the bill means the whole night is theirs. The set starts at 9 PM, so it's a late one—the kind of show you head to after dinner, with plenty of room to settle in before the music actually kicks off.
