Details

Get ready for a late-night Austin groove session with two heavy hitters sharing the stage: D-Madness and Grooveline Horns. This is the kind of show that turns a regular Tuesday into a full-body dance party, with deep funk, soul, hip-hop flavor, and horn-driven fireworks lighting up the room.

D-Madness brings his signature live-looping magic, building songs in real time with drums, bass, keyboards, vocals, and percussion. If you love a performer who can create a whole band’s worth of energy on his own, this set is built to pull you in fast and keep you moving.

Then Grooveline Horns takes over with their world-class three-man horn power. These Austin favorites are known for adding huge, punchy brass arrangements to major stages and recordings, and their sound has backed everyone from funk legends to pop stars. Expect tight chops, soulful bursts, and that bigger-than-life horn section energy that makes everything feel extra electric.
