PAACK
Details
PAACK is rolling into The Saxon Pub for a soul-baring, harmony-rich happy hour that feels more like a family gathering than a concert. This isn’t just a band—it’s a lady-led supergroup of five powerhouse frontwomen who have turned friendship, stories, and shared struggles into something electric onstage.
What started as casual Monday hangs—wine flowing, songs swapped, voices rising together—has evolved into a tight-knit musical PAACK whose name honors each member’s own artistic fire. Every woman leads her own project, and when they join forces the result is a lush storm of guitars, soaring vocals, and the kind of chemistry you can’t fake.
- Paige DeChausse (The Reverent Few) brings smoky, soul-drenched vocals and gritty Americana grooves.
- Andrea Magee (Beat Root Revival / Andrea Magee Band) adds Celtic flair, rhythmic fire, and infectious energy.
- Violet Lea (Madam Radar) anchors the sound with rich tones and rock-and-roll edge.
- Cari Hutson (Cari Hutson & Good Company) channels blues, heart, and raw emotional thunder.
- Kelly Green (Madam Radar) delivers searing guitar work and fearless, dynamic vocals.
This free show (with tips appreciated) is the kind of set where you might laugh at onstage banter one minute and blink back tears the next. Their performances are full of:
- Honest, vulnerable storytelling drawn from real-life love, loss, resilience, and joy
- Layered harmonies that swell from intimate whispers to roof-raising choruses
- Playful, supportive sisterhood that radiates from the stage into the crowd
- Spontaneous moments—swapped instruments, shared verses, and surprise mash-ups
During the isolation of the pandemic, PAACK kept their flame alive through livestream concerts, building a devoted following far beyond Austin. That momentum helped cement their beloved weekly residency at The Saxon Pub, where their Thursday shows have become a can’t-miss ritual for locals and visitors who crave connection with their music.
Their trajectory has only climbed higher—sharing bills with acclaimed artists, stepping onto festival stages, and opening at an international women’s festival alongside an impressive lineup of genre-crossing talent. And with a “Live from the Saxon” record on the way, this night is a chance to be part of the living, breathing crowd energy that will echo through those recordings.
If you’re craving a show that feels intimate yet celebratory, polished yet spontaneous, this PAACK performance is for you. Come early, grab a drink, settle into The Saxon Pub’s cozy vibe, and let five friends with five big voices remind you what live music is all about: sisterhood, stories, and songs that leave you feeling more connected than when you walked in.
Prepare to sway, sing along, maybe shed a cathartic tear, and definitely leave with a new favorite band—because once you run with this PAACK, you’ll want to come back week after week.
