Liz Morphis and the Violet Crown Revue perform live jazz music in the basement of Elephant Room, presented by the Austin Jazz Society.
Liz Morphis and the Violet Crown Revue play the Elephant Room on Wednesday, September 9, starting at 6 PM. The show is presented by the Austin Jazz Society, and it's part of a regular run: the Revue takes over the Elephant Room's basement every second and fourth Wednesday of the month.
If you're not familiar with the setup, the basement is the club's smaller, more tucked-away space, and the Revue is a recurring residency rather than a one-off date. Because it happens twice a month, it's easy to work into a routine—something to look forward to on a mid-week evening when you're not in the mood to stay home. Liz Morphis leads the group, and the name itself, the Violet Crown Revue, nods to the city's old nickname.
The way they pitch the night is one of the best parts. They describe it as a way to end the work day—even the crummy ones—with the perfect musical fix to finish on a high note. It's that specific kind of mid-week relief: a place to drop in after you've clocked out and let the music clear your head before the rest of the week catches up with you. Since it's a residency, it's less about a big opening night and more about having a reliable spot for live music on a Wednesday.

If you're planning to go, the details are straightforward. The show is at the Elephant Room, 315 Congress in downtown Austin, and it kicks off at 6 PM. Since it's a basement set, it's a good call to arrive a little early and get settled in before the music starts. If this one doesn't work for you, just remember it's a recurring thing—the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.
