About this event
An Evening with Emily Gimble brings the acclaimed Austin pianist, singer and songwriter to one of the city’s beloved live music clubs on October 30th. Known for her soulful vocals and versatile piano playing, Gimble blends jazz, blues, country and swing influences into a sound that feels distinctly Austin. Enjoy an intimate evening of live music from one of the city’s talented homegrown artists.
Who's playing
Gimble is known for soulful vocals and versatile piano playing. Her music draws on jazz, blues, country and swing, and it sounds distinctly Austin. Local writers have compared her voice to Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. She plays around town often, and this room is one of her regular stops.
What to expect
An evening of live music in a room that holds only about 40 people. The Gallery is a hidden, speakeasy-style space above the Continental Club, with art on the walls and a Hammond B-3 organ in the corner. It began as a steakhouse and later became the home of One World Guitars. Expect a no-frills lounge where you can hear every note.
Why go
Gimble is a homegrown artist, and a room this size puts you a few feet from the piano. The Gallery's own description is that it is about as close to a house concert in your living room as you can get. It suits a listening night on South Congress.
