Guitarists Matthew Lyons and Stephen Krishnan both have a long history with ACG, so we’re super excited they’ll be coming together to share new and original music inspired by Austin and ACG’s 22-23 season theme, HOME. Joined by James Tabata on bass, this will be a very special finale to the PLAY Series.

Our originally scheduled artist, Azul Barrientos, has had to cancel her performances this week.

Join us for a colorful and passionate evening of Latin folk and roots music.

TALE OF THE FOX with Invoke
This event has passed.
The Tale of the Fox is one of the first fully animated feature films ever made. Through visually stunning stop-motion animation, a cast of animal puppets tells the story of Renard, a mischievous prankster, and his attempts to outwit the king (a lion!).
Invoke, the genre-defying, globe-trotting string quartet and Austin fan favorite, brought along their mandolin and banjo to perform a rompin’ original score for this 1937 classic!
