Inside the artist’s fundraising residency
has plenty of material to fill a weekly Saxon Pub residency, but even if the series touts the veteran singer-songwriter’s name, Monday nights at the South Lamar venue aren’t really about her.
“I said, ‘Well, I don't really want to just go play my songs every week and do a residency, but I would love to try this idea I’ve had for a long time, which is to just bring back the old Austin spirit of people ,” she explains. “When I first came to town in ’79, we would all go to each other’s gigs and sit in and play. I couldn’t have a band that didn’t turn into a 10-piece band pretty quickly in the early days.
Underlining the program’s charitable focus, Rhodes reminds, “All the musicians are playing for free. I come from the Willie Nelson Farm Aid school of, ‘All the money goes to the cause.’ And I’m all for paying musicians, but on this one, it’s musicians helping musicians.” The gigs run from 6-7:30pm every Monday – the perfect time, Rhodes says, as few musicians have shows on Monday nights. “And by 7:30, we’re done and we go eat tacos and party and enjoy our adrenaline rush that we’re having from all the fun we had,” she adds. “We hang out with the audience members a lot on the patio. It’s just a party every Monday night.”
