Austin country band The Western Express perform live at The Continental Club, a 21+ event with a $10 cash cover.
The Western Express play The Continental Club on Monday, August 17, at 10 PM. They're an Austin country band that plays original and classic songs across Texas, and they describe their sound as drawing on the desert, the dance hall, love, loss and disco.
They've spent the last few years building an audience in Texas dance halls while promoting their debut album, Lunatics, Lovers & Poets, to Texas and Americana radio. The first two Texas Radio singles from that record both broke the top-30. In 2025, they played the Houston and Austin Rodeos for the fourth straight year and hosted parties headlined by Summer Dean and Emily Nenni. They also recorded their second full-length album, Icarus, which was slated for release later that year.
Between the dance hall dates and the rodeo appearances, they've kept their focus on the Texas circuit. The set will pull from their own writing alongside the classics they've been playing across the state, so you'll hear material from both Lunatics, Lovers & Poets and Icarus in the same night.
