Live rock 'n' roll performance by The Drakes at The Saxon Pub, a historic Austin venue known for intimate shows.
The Drakes are playing The Saxon Pub on Wednesday, October 14, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. It's a single-act bill, so they're the only ones on the program.
There's a bit of a full-circle story to the band. The Drakes started as the sidemen for the pub itself, playing together as a backing group before stepping out on their own. Since then, they've been billed as the evolution into Austin's premiere rock 'n' roll band, and this is one of those early-evening slots where they're the main feature.
The venue is a South Lamar staple. The Saxon Pub opened in 1990 and has hosted well over 22,000 musical performances, serving as a location for films, videos, and countless live recordings, and helping launch the careers of several prominent entertainers. It's an award-winning listening room that has booked many of the greatest music legends, playing in an intimate atmosphere that Kris Kristofferson likened to "playing in his own living room." It's also known for its free weekday happy hour shows, and this fits right into that tradition.
