About this event
"DISCOVERED" AMERICA: BY ACCIDENT – WHILE LOST. CAMOUFLAGED BY A WOODED NEIGHBORHOOD BEYOND SLAUGHTER AND MANCHACA, WHERE THE ROAD IN LOOKS LIKE THE ROAD OUT, THE VENUE EXISTS AS THE SOUTH POLE OF AUSTIN'S MUSICAL AXIS. LATELY, THE CITY'S LEAST VISIBLE VENUE – GEOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING – HAS EMERGED AS A HAPPENING SCENE.
What to expect
A late set in a laid-back bar with a dance floor, a pool table, a patio and a jukebox. The "& Friends" billing suggests the lineup can shift from one week to the next. Sam's Town Point calls itself a working-class neighborhood joint, so expect a loose, unfussy crowd rather than a polished showcase.
Why go
Sam's Town Point sits in a wooded neighborhood beyond Slaughter and Manchaca, and it feels like old Austin. Penny Grossman and her family have run it since 1981. Artists around the songwriter Ramsay Midwood have spent recent years turning the property into a homey event space. A weekly late set here suits anyone who likes live music in a place with some history.
