The Parish

The Parish room is one of the most adored live music venues in the Country, by fans & artists alike, housing arguably the best indoor sound in all of Texas. The Parish has physical character, hardwood floors, and a great musical history. It has attracted some of the best acts in the independent music scene, as well as rock legends. The Parish offers live music mostly 7 nights per week, and is non-genre specific.
The Parish has hosted artists ranging from My Morning Jacket, Grupo Fantasma, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, to Ingird Michaelson, Jens Lekman, She & Him, and The Weakerthans. One of the favorite shows to date was at SXSW 2007, when the Parish hosted the a la carte jam including Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Pete Townshend (Who), Les Claypool (Primus) and Slash (Guns n Roses). For future shows and festival events, check out the Parish calendar .

The Parish room also works for special events. The club has hosted private business parties, mixed media meetings, big birthday bashes, wedding receptions, and more. The Parish can provide catering from the Restaurant below, Roux – and build custom menus, offer AV set ups, and help to facilitate booking the music for your event.
