Leslie Austin

Leslie Austin plays the Bud Light Stage at The State Fair of Texas on Wednesday, October 7. She's a recording artist who works in a southern soul style, and this is a live performance right in the middle of the fair's run.

To get your bearings on where this fits in: The State Fair of Texas is a 24-day annual celebration of 'all things Texan' that runs from September 25 to October 18. This year, the fair has three stages focused on local music: the Bud Light Stage, the White Claw Spotlight Stage—presented in partnership with the Dallas Music Office—and the new Ziegenbock Stage, which opens inside the newly renovated Old Mill Inn.

Behind those stages is a continuing partnership with State Fair Records, an East Dallas label that handles the Ziegenbock and Bud Light stages. They book a mix of up-and-coming and established Texas musicians, and Leslie Austin is part of that lineup. Her set is on the Bud Light Stage, one of the two stages the label programs for the fair.

If you're planning to go, the date is Wednesday, October 7, at the Bud Light Stage within the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. The fair itself runs from September 25 through October 18, so this show falls right in the middle of the full run.
