Tyler Richards
Thursday, October 29 at The Saxon Pub, Austin
About this event
Tyler Richards is an Austin songwriter who plays The Saxon Pub, the South Lamar listening room. His music blends modern Texas country, Americana and singer-songwriter storytelling, with the song put first. He is a recurring name on the Austin songwriting showcase The Hook and has a 2026 EP out called Unwind.
Who's playing
Richards has built a following in Austin's songwriting scene, and he is a recurring standout on The Hook, a local songwriter showcase. Saving Country Music has said he "deserves more national attention," praising his sharp lyrics and big choruses. He comes to this show fresh off the Unwind EP, released in 2026.
What to expect
Expect a night built around songs and lyrics, in the Texas country and Americana vein. The Saxon Pub is a wood-heavy room that seats around 150, with chairs angled toward the stage and booths along the walls. Opened in 1990, it has long been a place where people go to listen. Kris Kristofferson likened it to playing in his own living room.
Why go
This is a chance to catch a rising Austin songwriter in a room made for his kind of music. The Saxon has a long record of hosting local talent before it gets bigger. The late slot suits a South Austin night out with a beer and a good set of new songs.
