EVENT DETAILS

Sunset Sessions was born out of the desire to see great bands in a beautiful setting without the hassle of braving large crowds, fighting for parking, or waiting in long lines. In true Eberly fashion, the restaurant will offer artist-inspired food and specialty cocktails inspired by each month’s featured artist.

A portion of the proceeds from each showcase will benefit the SIMS Foundation, a local non-profit providing mental health and addiction recovery services for Austin musicians, music industry professionals, and their families in an effort to support the well-being of the Austin music community. In addition, in the week leading up to each show, Eberly will offer the special, artist-inspired cocktail in the Cedar Tavern, with $1 from each cocktail sold being donated to the foundation.

GA and VIP tickets for the second showcase are now available online HERE. In addition to valet parking and photobooth access that’s available to GA, VIP admission will also include a drink ticket and food item of choice, an autographed Sunset Sessions poster, and an Eberly gift card for future use. Guests are welcome to come early and enjoy Vinyl DJ sets by Hard Silk, snap a photo at the photo booth, mingle with our emcee Laurie Gallardo of KUTX, and learn more about SIMS Foundation. The party continues downstairs in the Cedar Tavern with a post-show vinyl DJ set.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Jackie Venson

Recognized by the Austin American-Statesman as the “2017 Breakout Artist of the Year,” Jackie Venson is a multi-instrumentalist who has long abandoned the straight-laced world of classical for the raw power of blues and soul tied with deeply heartfelt lyrics. Having just released her latest studio album “Joy,” Venson is in the midst of her global “Joy to the World” tour.

Midcentury

Known for their indie and classic rock with a new wave sensibility, the members are no newcomers to the Austin music scene. These veterans blend contemporary notes with uplifting rhythms of funk and hip-hop, creating a sound that is as fresh as it is familiar.
