Details

Clear your Friday night plans, because South Congress is turning into a funk-fueled, soul-drenched, rock ’n’ roll revival.

On May 22, 2026 at 10:00 pm, Nether Hour and Jennifer Foster & The Audacity team up for a powerhouse double bill at 2008 S Congress Ave. This is a 21+ only throwdown with a $15 cover, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you why Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World.

Nether Hour @ 10:00 pm – Kicking off the night, this Austin-based trio blends swampy Louisiana grooves with Texas-sized funk, blues, soul, and rock ’n’ roll. Formed during SXSW 2018, they’ve become a local staple, known for explosive live shows and an energy level that feels like it could blow the doors off the room.
What to expect from Nether Hour
- Members: Bobby Flaco, Bishop, and Bercy, each one a full-on force on their instrument.
- Sound: A relentless mix of swamp soul, gritty blues, thick funk bass lines, and rock ’n’ roll swagger.
- Releases: Originals galore, including their studio album Rattlesnake Gumbo, packed with tunes built for the stage.
- Vibe: Big riffs, sweaty grooves, and the kind of crowd energy that turns a bar show into a mini festival.
Jennifer Foster & The Audacity @ 11:45 pm – When Jennifer and her crew take over, the night shifts into high-octane Motown, funk, and “Bold Texas sound” territory. This Austin-based band is led by singer-songwriter and bassist Jennifer Foster, whose stage presence is as commanding as her groove.
What to expect from Jennifer Foster & The Audacity
- Led by Jennifer Foster, holding down lead vocals and bass with serious style.
- A rotating lineup of heavy-hitting local players like Spice, Uncle Roy, and Dave Scher keeps the show fresh and fiery.
- High-energy sets that slide from deep-pocket funk to soulful sing-along moments and big, brassy grooves.
- A reputation around Austin for turning any room into a dance floor before the night is over.

With Nether Hour laying down swampy, funk-laced rock to open the night and Jennifer Foster & The Audacity bringing their full-throttle soul-funk energy late into the evening, this is a back-to-back lineup built for people who like their live music loud, sweaty, and unforgettable.

Grab your friends, bring your dancing shoes, and prepare to stay out late. Two killer Austin bands, one legendary stretch of South Congress, and a Friday night that’s absolutely worth the cover.
