The Last Jimenez

If you’re craving a night of deep-groove soul and killer musicianship, circle May 22, 2026 for The Last Jimenez at 8:30pm. For just a $10 cover, you’ll step into a room where South Texas soul, vintage R&B, and Austin’s gritty charm collide.

• Who’s playing? David Jimenez, better known onstage as The Last Jimenez, is one of those “if you know, you know” Austin players. Often dubbed the city’s best-kept secret, he has quietly built a reputation for expressive guitar work, a smooth-but-smoky vocal style, and sets that feel like they were custom-made for late-night listening.

• What’s the vibe? This show has a classic soul-club feel: low lights, tight band, and songs that slip easily between slow-burn ballads and danceable shuffles. Jimenez is stepping in for Emily Gimble, bringing his own flavor of South Texas Soul—think border-town blues, rootsy swagger, and a touch of vintage R&B romance.

• Why you should go:

  • Memorable music all night: Expect tasteful solos, rich grooves, and a band that knows how to hold a room in the palm of its hand.

  • Perfect for a night out: At 21+ only and with a modest $10 cover, it’s ideal for a laid-back date night or a small-group hang where the music is the main event.

  • “Best kept secret” bragging rights: Catch him now and you’ll be able to say you saw The Last Jimenez before he was on everyone’s playlist.

• What to expect musically:

  • Soulful originals and handpicked covers that pay homage to classic soul, R&B, and Texas roots.

  • Plenty of guitar-driven moments, with tasteful licks and simmering builds rather than flashy showboating.

  • A cozy, intimate listening room feel where you’re close enough to catch every vocal inflection and groove change.

  • Date: May 22, 2026
