From the Cactus Café to Carnegie Hall and back again, Nanci Griffith traveled the world, writing songs about the five and dime, the adventures just beyond these woods and more. Join some of Austin’s finest musicians in paying tribute to her catalog at her old stomping grounds, the legendary Cactus Cafe. The performers include Katie Lessley with Emily Shirley, Diedre Rodriguez, Tyler Wallace, Selena Rosanbalm, Mark Abrahams, Heather Miller, Alex Coba and Creek Bed Carter. Our host for the evening will be Nichole Wagner.
The Cactus Cafe is a live music venue and bar in the historic Texas Union on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin. Located in Austin, Texas, a city frequently referred to as “the live music capital of the world,” a number of well-known artists have played in the Cactus, and Billboard Magazine named it as one of fifteen “solidly respected, savvy clubs” in the United States, “from which careers can be cut, that work with proven names and new faces.”
