Friday, NOV 7th – FLAMINGO CANTINA PRESENTS – A NIGHT OF PSYCHEDELIC BROTHERHOOD with Brother Thunder, Honey Son, and SIPA!

Honey Son, fresh off a summer tour opening for Shiny Ribs, is the nom de plume of Mars Wright, a thought-provoking RnB master wrapped in trippy sonic layers.

SIPA ‘s style is Island Grass—founded upon the sounds of the Appalachian mountains, flavored by the spices of the Philippines. Fronted by lead singer/ guitar virtuoso Jeff ‘Horti’ Hortillosa (of Whiskey Shivers) SIPA sounds just like a country band…but which country?

Brother Thunder combines the soulful powerhouse vocals of Keith Sanders with sizzling Hendrix-style licks, supported by the ever-driving thump of Angelo Dulang on the bass. These ACL veterans kick it over the horizon.

Dada Son Entertainment presents Gramps Morgan on the No Water in My Whiskey Tour, performing his Grammy-nominated country reggae album! Bring your cowboy hats!

A life-long singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, producer, record exec, and entrepreneur, Gramps Morgan (son of the legendary Denroy Morgan) joined the grammy-winning family band Morgan Heritage at the tender age of 9 and has been recording ever since.

His new EP, “Deeper” is yet another reminder that Morgan is one of the best vocalists across all musical genres. “Deeper” highlights Morgan’s unbelievable voice over six gorgeous acoustic tracks. Similar to his 2021 album “Positive Vibration,” these new songs blend reggae and pop with a hint of country music.

Passionate about helping others in need, Morgan established the charity Music Orchestrating Miracles (MOM), to help bring relief to the needy in various parts of the world.

With Austin’s own turntable extraordinaire DJ Mista B, plus special guests Music4Life—and Winston’s Kitchen will be serving up authentic Jamaican fare.

November 21st, 22nd, and 23rdDoors at 8pm every night

$22 advance tickets – $27 night of show$55 three-day pass

Night 1 (Nov. 21st):-The Slackers-The Bandulus-Los De Esta Noche-Kung Fu Sound System

Night 2 (Nov. 22nd):-The Slackers-The Stingers Reunion Show-Rat King Cole-Kung Fu Sound System

Night 3 (Nov. 23rd):-The Slackers-Los Kurados-Kung Fu Sound System

The Slackers’ rise to fame is a story of perseverance and a belief in their musical vision, combining Jamaican ska and reggae with American rock n’ roll. While influenced (and even personally taught) by Jamaican ska/reggae originators such as the Skatalites and the Upsetters, the band sees its music as wholly American. Smashing the stereotypes of ska, The Slackers put a new spin on the genre by playing with an aggressive edge that interweaves personal and political accounts.

The Bandulus are the brainchild of Austin, TX musician Jeremy Peña, formerly of Los Skarnales and the Trenchtown Texans. A traditional ska, reggae, and soul sensation, The Bandulus cross genres and keep listeners on their toes while crossing genres, but always with a heavy soul influence and heartfelt lyrics. Their sound evolved to include early rock n’ roll, Motown-style harmonies, and psychedelic grooves. The Bandulus have shared the stage with yesterdays and today’s top ska and reggae acts, including ska originators The Skatalites, The Interrupters, Inner Circle, The Wailers, The Slackers, Easy Star All Stars, The English Beat, The Aggrolites, Collie Budz, The Skints, Save Ferris, New Kingston, The Suffers, Western Standard Time, Bedouin Soundclash, The Pietasters and Los Lonely Boys. Jamaican patois for bandit, The Bandulus will steal your heart and always leave you smiling.

Los De Esta Noche is a Latin roots rock band from San Antonio, Texas. Their sound is comprised of Rock, Ska, Cumbia, and Conjunto music. Influenced by the sound and culture of the Mexico border, they blend horns and percussion along with Spanish and English lyrics to make music that will make you move and dance.

Hailing from San Antonio and Dallas, Kung Fu Sound System is a trio of Texas Selectors spinning soul, funk, reggae, and ska vinyl.

Since 1998, The Stingers ATX have developed their own modern hybrid of Jamaican rocksteady/ska and classic American doo-wop soul: solid roots-reggae rhythms, melodic horn lines, and tight 3- and 4-part vocal harmonies. Their live shows have won them world-wide acclaim, from their former weekly three-hour showcases at the Black Cat Lounge in Austin to a sold-out New Year’s Eve show at La Fleche d’Or in Paris, to backing some of the most legendary names in ska/reggae music on European tours.

Rat King Cole is a ska-jazz fusion band hailing from San Antonio, Texas. The band originally formed in 2013 when a group of friends with a shared passion for music decided to start jamming together. Since then, Rat King Cole has become a staple in the San Antonio music scene, playing shows at local bars, clubs, and festivals with their unique blend of upbeat ska rhythms and smooth jazz melodies—with a touch of reggae and funk thrown in for good measure. Their energetic live shows are known for getting crowds up and dancing, with catchy hooks and infectious grooves that keep audiences coming back for more.

Bringing quality music and punk-rock energy to the scene, Los Kurados are Austin’s premiere ska party band who also have a shit ton to say!

With origins in College Station and now based out of Austin, TX, Rococo Disco draws from a psychedelic mélange of inspirations and genres, creating a mind-bending, surreal sound that includes original tracks and eclectic covers. A little David Bowie, a dash of Stevie Wonder, a pinch of Parliament Funkadelic, and a bit of je ne sais quois…

Tobias Lund is a soul-pop artist originally from Denmark who’s made Austin his musical home base. Since starting his project in 2023, Tobias Lund and his groovy band have conquered the hearts of Austinites and toured in Texas and Louisiana. The EP “Leap of Faith” showcased his unique blend of groovy soul/R&B, tender songwriting, and catchy hooks, influenced by Stevie Wonder and Allen Stone.

Elliot.Wavs creates soulful pop for people with big feelings. Hailed as “better than Lexipro,” with a lush choral element, heavy guitars, playful synths, and soaring vocals, Elliot.Wavs will take you on an emotional journey—don’t be surprised if you get carried away.

Lo Gentry is a new sound with an old soul, and a Kansas City-born Missouri native recently arrived on the Austin music scene. This isn’t your usual pop—Lo pulls inspiration from George Clinton, Erykah Badu, Dina Washington, Prince, and Queen, with heavy punk, funk, and neo soul vibes.

King Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles the he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley.

After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. He also began to work with the Ace Sound System in St. Thomas and drew big crowds at his dancehall performances.

Later in his career, Yellow began to spread out and work for a number of different producers, sometimes releasing as many as five albums per year. This led to a recording contract with CBS Records. Yellowman recorded one album with them before he was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live. This was in 1986. After surgery and an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song “Blueberry Hill,” and his career was re-launched.

His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip ‘Fatis’ Burrell and was called “Yellow Like Cheese.” Coincidentally, this was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman, as well as RAS and Fatis’s Exterminator Productions.

The rudest Dancehall toaster of the 1980s, Jamaica’s albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial (if tongue in cheek) lyrics. Now back on the Ragga scene, singing at a slightly slower pace, Yellowman’s witticisms are as cheeky, spirited and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style.

A soulful solstice with Autumn Cymone, Noella Grey & the Imaginary Band, and Port of Monks—come on down to Flamingo Cantina and get on Santa’s Good Vibes List!

Autumn Cymone is a singer/songwriter, guitarist, disaster bisexual, and Queen of The Vibe from Austin, TX. Her broad and expansive music inspiration reflects in her hard-to-place—but easy-to-love—songs that range from folk and alternative rock to R&B and pop.

The Imaginary Band originated in Houston and moved to ATX in 2014, where they joined forces with Mississippi-born vocalist Noella Grey to create funk, rock, and soul music “filled with unexpected love songs, self-reflective lyrics, and a blend of soft and hard that keeps listeners guessing what’s next.”

Port of Monks are a trio of musicians based out of Austin, TX, with influences including punk, psychedelia, funk, hard rock, and just a touch of metal. The origin of the band name is an arcane mystery for the ages (if you ask each of them you may receive three different answers), but their music is guaranteed to move you, energize you, and open your third eye…
