Following Gram's lead, the Sin City Social Club is a renegade collective of musicians, fans, artists and industry executives brought together by shared appreciation of the art and culture that blur the lines between classic, outlaw & alt. country, soul, r&b, and indie singer songwriters. Since moving to Austin from LA in 2007, we, the Sin City Social Club have expanded our role in bringing "Cosmic American Music" to the forefront of Austin's thriving music scene.
To show the diversity in the community, this year Sin City will put 35+ artists on 3 different stages in South Austin during the week of SXSW Music Festival! After hosting un-sanctioned events for the past 8 years, Sin City (along with Sirius XM's Outlaw Country channel) will co-present our first OFFICIAL SXSW showcase on Wednesday, March 17th at the world famous CONTINENTAL CLUB! We're GIDDY about the incredible talent that we have this year and can't wait to share the love with YOU! Our complete schedule (including set times) is listed below!
THE RETURN of THE GRIEVOUS SIN CITY SAMPLER...
It's been a whole YEAR since we put out a new sampler but you're in luck cause SIN CITY SOCIAL CLUB VOL. 13 will makes it's debut at SXSW! Hard to believe but we've given away over 100K copies of our limited edition CD samplers over the past 7 years! This is one of the most ROCKIN' samplers we've ever had and again shows the diversity of the artist community we love so much. Come to any of our events and you'll be the first to get your hands on our hot sampler featuring new music from PETER WOLF w. SHELBY LYNNE * SHOOTER JENNINGS * SHURMAN * TIFT MERRIT * ELIZABETH COOK * AUSTIN COLLINS & THE RAINBIRDS * RUBY JAMES * KELLY DALTON * JON DEE GRAHAM * THE MIGHTY STEF * CHARLIE TERRELL & THE MURDERED JOHNS * DEADMAN * ANNE MCCUE * 29 MULES * TORI SPARKS w. SHAWN MULLINS * CITIZEN BAND * COLIN GILMORE * ROKY ERICKSON w. OKKERVIL RIVER!
Looks like the weather gods are smiling on us too with projected highs in the low 70's, lows in the 40's and minimal chance of rain! Now you can pack accordingly ;)
WELCOME TO THE MAGICAL PLACE THAT WE'RE PROUD TO CALL HOME!
And lucky for us...There's a good saloon in every single town!

** SIN CITY RECOMMENDS **
We usually send out a massive list of "Sin City recommended showcases /parties etc" but now that we're all sharing info. on Facebook, Twitter, No Depression and other social media sites I'm retiring from putting that list together so we can focus on putting on more great shows for you rather than writing about them! HOWEVER, in addition to coming by OUR events, I did put together the SHORT LIST of the folks we love who are hosting events that are open to the public! We have a lot of amazing friends and organizations out there who have spent months putting together some incredible events for you to enjoy while in Austin! I highly recommend you search out GUITARTOWN CONQUEROO'S 10TH Anniversary KICK OFF party on WEDNESDAY at JOES BAR & GRILL, PIGEONS POSSE dayparty on THURSDAY @ Opal Divines, AMERICANA MUSIC ASSOCIATION showcase on THURSDAY night @ ANTONE'S, MUSIC FOGS daily line up at THREADGILLS, NO DEPRESSION showcase on FRIDAY @ THE CONTINENTAL, CONTINENTAL CLUB day parties (actually ANYTHING at the CONTINENTAL CLUB usually rules), Bloodshot party @ YARD DOG, Jo's Coffee Stage on S. Congress, Alejandro's annual party @ Maria's Taco Xpress and BATTER BLASTER'S party on Saturday! I smell a google search coming on...
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning...
