Uncle Roy & Spice

Uncle Roy & Spice are playing C-Boy's Heart & Soul Bar on Wednesday, September 9. They're a duo from Washington, DC, and this is a new act for the Austin scene, so it's one of those nights where you get to hear a group before they've become a regular fixture around town.

They describe their sound as one that works through vocal intricacies, harmonies, storytelling, and a range of diverse musical styles. When a duo leads with harmonies and storytelling, the focus usually stays on the voices and the lyrics rather than a wall of sound, and the mention of diverse styles suggests they aren't sticking to one particular genre. It's the kind of set that lets the songwriting take center stage, with the two of them trading parts and blending their voices.

Coming in from DC, they're bringing that East Coast perspective to a stage that's right in the heart of Austin's music scene. If you're into vocal-driven music and don't mind a set that pulls from a few different places, this is a good one to have on your radar. It's a straightforward duo performance—just two voices and the songs they're building around them.

The show starts at 10 PM, and it's 21+ only, so keep that in mind if you're bringing a group. Tickets are $10.
