Warren Hood

Warren Hood plays the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater on Thursday, October 29, at 7:30 PM. He's an Austin-based songwriter, vocalist, and violinist, and this is a solo bill presented by the Tobin Center.

If you're not familiar with him, Hood works across a few different traditions at once. He describes his sound as a blend of Americana, folk, rock, and Texas roots music, and that's a fair way to put it. The songwriting is the core of the set, but the fiddle is what really marks his playing. He's a virtuosic player, and the fiddle doesn't just sit in the background—it's as much a part of the performance as the singing.

That combination is why he tends to play for a wide range of crowds. The folk side of his writing fits a listening-room setting, while the rock and roots elements lean toward a full-band festival stage. He's known for an organic, energetic presence that works for both, so whether you're there for the songs or the fiddle playing, you'll find your way into it. The set is his own, and the Tobin Center is the presenter.

Tickets start at $48, and the show starts at 7:30 PM at the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater in San Antonio.
