"Access to free, live music is what makes our city so special, and we are excited to expand this series in its second year. Throughout the summer, Austinites and visitors alike can expect to see some of their favorite sets and maybe even discover their new favorite band."
The lineup, listed in alphabetical order, includes David Garza, David Ramirez, Geto Gala, James Robinson, Jeska and the Vanity Project, Luna Luna, Money Chicha, Natalie Price, Nuevo, The Octopus Project, The Past Lives, Ruthie Foster, San Gabriel, Sharon Silva, Sweet Spirit, and Think No Think.
Select dates have been programmed in partnership with local nonprofit Black Fret, whose mission is to enable the creation and performance of new music.
Doors for each show will open at 7 p.m. with music kicking off at 8 p.m. The summer series will also feature activations, food options, and a full bar.
