Adding to the festivities, The Western Express, an Austin-based band known for their soulful and melodic songs, will take the stage. Their music offers an insightful perspective on love, romance, humor, and the human experience, creating an atmosphere of storytelling at its finest.
The Western Express made waves in 2022 with the release of their debut album, “Lunatics, Lovers & Poets,” which earned high praise from their Austin fan base and music industry insiders. Produced by the seasoned John Evans, the album captures the essence of Tex-Mex-infused songs, resonating on Americana radio stations across the US, Canada, and the UK.
The band’s journey began in 2018 when Stephen (vocals, songwriting, creative direction) and Phill (bass, band manager) met on Craigslist. Over the years, they solidified their bond and honed their musical craft by playing hundreds of shows in Austin’s vibrant live music scene.
With their debut album receiving accolades from the press and industry, The Western Express is now gearing up to record their sophomore album under John Evans’ guidance and embark on a new tour in 2023, taking their music to a wider audience.
La Kiva’s Oktoberfest celebration not only highlights the restaurant and bar’s unique charm but also embodies the community spirit of Terlingua. It’s an event that brings together food, music, and the warm Texan hospitality that defines this region. Join in the festivities and experience Oktoberfest La Kiva style on October 7th, where Texas traditions and good times converge.
