Details

If you crave songs with stories, June 6 is your night: Ella Reid brings her full band to The Saxon Pub for a 6:00 pm set that’s pure Austin soul.

Reid is one of the city’s more compelling singer-songwriters, weaving together the earthiness of Americana, the tenderness of folk, and the expressive fire of soul and jazz-influenced pop. It’s the kind of genre-blending sound that feels right at home on one of Austin’s most beloved listening rooms.

Her live shows lean into what she does best: big-hearted storytelling, melodies that linger long after the last chord, and vocals that can shift from intimate confessional to full-throated catharsis in a heartbeat. It’s no surprise she’s been featured on CBS Austin, FOX 7, and Sun Radio, steadily building a reputation as a must-see artist on the local circuit.
