Floyd Domino's All Stars
Details
If you like your jazz with a little Texas twang and a whole lot of old-Austin charm, Floyd Domino’s All Stars at Sam’s Town Point is the night you circle in red on your calendar.
On May 19, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., piano great Floyd Domino brings his All Stars to one of Austin’s most beloved hidden haunts. Think swing-era sophistication colliding with roadhouse soul: elegant piano runs, hot horn lines, and a rhythm section that makes it impossible to sit perfectly still.
The setting is just as much a character as the band. This is the place you "discover" the way people once "discovered" America: by accident, while lost. Camouflaged by a wooded neighborhood beyond Slaughter and Manchaca, where the road in looks suspiciously like the road out, the venue sits like the South Pole of Austin’s musical axis—far from the neon drag, but pulsing with the real heartbeat of the city.
The Sound: Expect a joyful mix of traditional jazz, Western swing, boogie-woogie, and rootsy grooves, played by top-shelf musicians who know how to keep dancers gliding and toe-tappers happy.
The Vibe: Laid-back, lived-in, and proudly unpretentious. It feels like someone built a neighborhood hangout, then accidentally turned it into a destination for serious music fans.
The Scene: A happening pocket of regulars, swing dancers, honky-tonk diehards, and curious first-timers who followed the music (or maybe took a wrong turn) and ended up exactly where they were supposed to be.
The Night: Perfect for grabbing a drink, sinking into a chair, and letting the band’s solos wash over you—or hopping up to dance when the All Stars kick into high gear.
If you’ve been meaning to experience genuine Austin live music away from the tourist trail, Floyd Domino’s All Stars at this tucked-away honky-tonk is your sign. Get a little lost on purpose and let the music lead you home.
Venue Details
Welcome to Sam's Town Point - a hidden gem in South Austin that feels like stepping back in time! This beloved dive bar has been a working-class neighborhood joint since 1981, run by Penny Grossman and her family, and has emerged as one of Austin's most authentic music venues.
Nestled among trees in a quiet neighborhood, Sam's Town Point exudes old Austin charm with its unassuming beige exterior. Inside, you'll discover a cozy space adorned with aging beer signs, wood paneling, and a delightful mix of comfy couches and old movie theater-style seats facing the dance floor and bandstand. Christmas lights and Chinese lanterns add to the homey atmosphere, while a late-1960s Wurlitzer jukebox loaded with 45-rpm records stands against one wall like a forgotten treasure.
