Willie Pipkin & Friends

Willie Pipkin & Friends hold down their Sunday night at The Continental Club in Austin, with Pipkin taking the stage from 9:30 PM through midnight. It's a long set that runs late into the night, so you've got plenty of room to settle in.

If you're not already familiar with him, Pipkin is a fixture of the Austin scene. He works multiple residencies around town as a sideman for other acts and fronts his own shows, and he tends to bring the cream of the crop of fellow musicians along to play with him. The "& Friends" part of the bill isn't just a formality—it's a good idea of how the night works.

As for the music, his sound is rooted in the blues, but he pulls from bluegrass, swing, jazz, rock 'n' roll, and all kinds of roots music. It's a wide reach, and he tends to lean into that variety rather than sticking to one lane. If you're into any of those styles, you'll find something to hold onto here.

Doors open at 9 PM, and Pipkin starts at 9:30 PM, playing through midnight. It's a $10 cover at the door, and no advance tickets are sold. The night is for over-21s only.
