Aaron Mcdonnell
Details
Set your midweek soundtrack to twang and heartache: Aaron McDonnell is bringing his country chops back to Sagebrush on May 20, 2026 at 9:00 pm.
Known for his classic country sound with a modern edge, McDonnell leans into rich storytelling, desert-highway vibes, and the kind of steel-soaked melodies that pair perfectly with a well-worn pair of boots. If you like your songs honest, a little dusty, and built for two-stepping, this is your kind of night.
Hear original tunes that channel vintage honky-tonk, cosmic country, and rootsy Americana.
Expect a tight live band, smooth vocals, and plenty of dance-floor-ready grooves.
Perfect excuse to round up friends for a midweek live-music fix and some classic Austin honky-tonk atmosphere.
Great for both dedicated two-steppers and anyone who just wants to tap a boot along the rail.
Whether you’re a longtime fan following Aaron’s residency shows or just craving a night of real-deal country, this set is tailor-made for you. Mark May 20th on your calendar, shine up those boots, and get ready to close out the night with steel guitar, neon glow, and songs that stick with you on the drive home.
Venue Details
Sagebrush is a beloved honky-tonk and live music venue in South Austin with a rich history dating back over 70 years! This down-home destination features a stage for live performances, offering vibrant entertainment seven nights a week with multiple shows each evening.
The building itself has a fascinating past - originally constructed in the 1940s as an army barracks, later serving as a WWII POW internment camp, before becoming "Gil's Club" in 1955 when opened by Big Gil Stromquist, a 6'10" boxer and millionaire known for fighting at Madison Square Garden.
- Enjoy nightly live music showcasing diverse genres including country, Americana, blues, folk, bluegrass, and rock
- Take advantage of two-step dance lessons with Hill Country Two Step
- Experience the venue's authentic honky-tonk atmosphere with pool tables, cocktails, and beer
- Appreciate both indoor performances and outdoor concerts in their spacious backyard
Sagebrush regularly hosts nationally recognized musicians while maintaining its authentic Austin charm. Recently selected for Zach Bryan's "Nine Ball" music video starring Matthew McConaughey, this venue represents one of the last remaining pieces of "real deal" Austin. With its 300-person capacity and 5,000 square foot space, Sagebrush offers a true Texas music experience that keeps the spirit of old Austin alive!
