Lost Austin Band at the Saxon Pub, Austin

Rock Pop Country

What’s Happening?

In the early to mid-1970s, a new kind of music erupted in Austin. Songs by Texas’s best singer/songwriter songs played by rock musicians created a new sound: Progressive Country AKA Cosmic or Outlaw Country. Nashville folks didn’t know what to make of it, but crowds from Soap Creek Saloon to the Armadillo World Headquarters ate it up and created a scene unparalleled in Austin.

Landing in the middle of this explosion were members of today’s Lost Austin Band. Whether performing with Jerry Jeff Walker, Michael Murphey and others or in their own bands, these guys helped create and sustain this exciting period in Texas music history. And they’re still at it.

All members of the Texas Music Legends Hall of Fame, the Lost Austin Band continues this time-honored musical tradition. And you can hear them live, Saturday afternoon, May 25th, at 4 PM at Austin’s best-sounding showcase room, the Saxon Pub. Why be anywhere else?!
