Dom Francis C-Boys Residency

4.5 FREE

Details

Dom Francis is rolling into C-Boy's Heart & Soul for a Monday-night residency that feels less like a gig and more like stepping into a cinematic road trip. On May 18, 2026 at 6:30 pm, you can catch him and his band weaving together rock 'n' roll grit and country soul in an intimate, old-school club setting—and it's a free show.

Francis doesn't just play songs; he builds little worlds. His music rides the line between folk and rock, slipping into hazy dreamscapes one moment and dusty highway anthems the next. You can hear the miles in his sound: raised in the Northeast, shaped by years spent in El Paso, Missouri, Appalachia, and now rooted in Austin.

His debut album, The Wanderer, plays like a late-night postcard from the road—analog warmth, rough edges, and lyrics that stick with you long after the last chord. With his sophomore album, The State of Things, he pushes further into that cinematic, wide-open feel, with melodies that could soundtrack a long drive under desert stars.

  • Expect a mix of rock, country, and folk with a moody, storytelling twist.
  • Hear live cuts that bring tracks from The Wanderer and The State of Things to life.
  • Soak in the vibes at one of Austin's classic music hangouts.
  • Enjoy a full-band set that leans into raw energy rather than polished perfection.

This residency show is perfect if you like your live music with storytelling, atmosphere, and a little road dust. Come early, settle in, and let Dom Francis turn a Monday night into a full-on sonic journey.

Venue Details

Step into C-Boy's Heart & Soul, Austin's ultimate neighborhood juke-joint where the spirit of classic soul, R&B, and blues pulses through every corner!

Nestled on vibrant South Congress Avenue, this retro gem pays homage to legendary manager Louis Charles “C-Boy” Parks of the iconic Rome Inn, with red velvet vibes, a glowing heart-shaped neon bar, and live music rocking seven nights a week. Catch blues legends, country twang, or rock 'n' roll on the glitzy stage, then head upstairs to the cozy Jade Room—a 1950s Japanese GI bar-inspired lounge with sake, craft cocktails, and one of Austin's coolest emerald bathrooms.

  1. Don't miss Sunday's legendary **Chickenshit Bingo**—bet on where the chicken poops for a shot at cash prizes, pure 'Keep Austin Weird' fun!
  2. Spacious outdoor patio with vintage shuffleboard, food trucks (open Tue-Sun 6pm-2am), and easy parking.
  3. Perfect for dancing to local heroes like Soul Man Sam Evans, Mike and the Burnalls, or Jimmy Vaughan—staff keep it safe and welcoming for all.
  4. Bonus: Hosts the free SoCo Stomp music fest with 50 bands over five days!

Whether you're a music junkie or just chasing that authentic Austin heart and soul, C-Boy's delivers unforgettable nights of swagger, tunes, and good times.
