Details

Monte Warden & The Dangerous Few are bringing their lush, jazz-soaked Americana sound to downtown Austin on May 21, 2026 at 7:30 pm. If you’ve been craving a night that feels like vintage supper-club elegance with a modern twist, this show is your sweet spot.

Formed in 2017, Monte Warden and the Dangerous Few reimagined Warden’s acclaimed songwriting through a Jazz / Traditional Pop lens. Paste Magazine dubbed their work “The Great Americana Songbook” and marveled that Warden “has created a sound that never before existed.” KUTX captured the vibe perfectly: “Imagine Gene Vincent singing Cole Porter.” It’s silky vocals, smart lyrics, and a band that swings with style.

Their 2020 debut album drew worldwide critical praise and even landed first-ballot Grammy nominations in six categories, including Best Americana Album and Album of the Year. Live, that translates into a set full of original tunes that feel instantly classic but never dusty—romantic, moody, and perfect for a late-night jazz club.

What to expect: A polished, intimate performance with top-shelf musicianship, smoky jazz-club atmosphere, and original songs that blend Americana storytelling with classic pop and jazz flair.
Why it’s special: This isn’t just a gig; it’s a carefully curated show by one of Austin’s veteran songwriters, presenting a project that has turned heads far beyond Texas.
Can’t make it in person? The concert will also be available via livestream at parkerjazzclub.com/livestream, so you can soak in the whole experience from home.
Do some good while you listen: Online donations are welcome, with all proceeds benefiting the local nonprofit Texas Jazz Society—so your evening of great music also supports the future of jazz in the community.
Age note: Parker Jazz Club is a 21+ venue, so plan accordingly before you head out.

Whether you’re a die-hard jazz fan, an Americana devotee, or just looking for a sophisticated night out, Monte Warden & The Dangerous Few promise a transportive, unforgettable performance that feels both timeless and brand new.
