The Resentments

4.7

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.

Venue Details

Step into the Saxon Pub, Austin's legendary music haven at 1320 S Lamar Blvd, where the soul of live tunes beats strong since 1990!

Founded by Joe Ables and Craig Hillis, this cozy spot rose from a dingy dive bar into a folk-turned-blues, country, and rock hotspot, honoring the original Saxon Pub's singer-songwriter legacy from the '70s. It's hosted over 30,000 shows, drawing stars like Kris Kristofferson—who called it "playing in his own living room"—and launching careers in an intimate vibe perfect for jamming celebs and locals alike.

  1. Iconic knight statue guards the door, welcoming music lovers 21+.
  2. Survived rent hikes thanks to savior Gary Keller in 2016.
  3. Starred in the 2019 doc Nothing Stays the Same, capturing its enduring spirit.
