Halloween Kickoff: Dead Music + Tom Waits for No One + Jim Ortiz & the Ballroom Destroyers
Thursday, October 29 at The Raven Room at Crow Bar, Austin
About this event
Celebrate 15 years of Halloween in Austin with Dead Music Capital Band, joined by tribute act Tom Waits for No One and Jim Ortiz & the Ballroom Destroyers. Expect an evening of eclectic sounds, theatrical performances and a celebration of Austin’s live music scene. Whether you’re a longtime fan or looking for something a little different this Halloween, this show brings together local talent for a night of music with plenty of character. This project is supported in part by a Nexus Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
Who's playing
Dead Music Capital Band headlines a local bill built around Austin's live music scene. Tom Waits for No One is a tribute act devoted to the songs of Tom Waits. Jim Ortiz & the Ballroom Destroyers round out the night with their own material. The description promises eclectic sounds and theatrical performances from all three.
What to expect
Expect a three-act night with a lot of character and a Halloween mood. The Raven Room is the music venue attached to Crow Bar, with a stage, a house PA and lights. Crow Bar has been an East Austin dive bar since 2010, with dark gothic lounge spaces, two pool tables, a jukebox and a dog-friendly patio. The bar calls itself a little grimy and a little loud.
Why go
This show is a local-talent start to the Halloween season, and a tribute set and two original acts make for an uncommon mix. Crow Bar's spooky look suits the theme. The event is supported in part by a Nexus Grant from Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
