The Resentments
Details
If you know, you know: Sunday nights at The Saxon Pub belong to The Resentments.
Every week, this all-star Austin songwriter collective turns 7:30 p.m. into the unofficial start of the musical week. On May 24, 2026, they’re back at it again, settling in for a 7:30–10:00 p.m. set that feels less like a show and more like being invited into a living room full of veteran musicians swapping songs and stories.
The Resentments are a rotating crew of top-shelf players who’ve logged serious miles on the road, on records, and on legendary stages all over Texas and beyond. When they plug in at Saxon, you get:
- Expert-level songwriting, from slow-burn ballads to wry, clever story songs
- Laid-back grooves that slip effortlessly between Americana, country, rock, and roots
- Off-the-cuff banter, road stories, and plenty of onstage chemistry
- Moments where the band stretches out and jams, just because it feels good
There’s a reason this has become one of Austin’s most beloved standing traditions. It’s the kind of night where you can slide into a cozy spot, grab a drink, and let the songs wash over you while the band does what they do best: make high-level musicianship look easy.
If you’re into live music that’s rich with character, heart, and a little Sunday-night magic, The Resentments at The Saxon Pub is exactly where you want to be on May 24.
