Austin-based Brazilian multi-instrumentalist, arranger and producer Eli Menezes presents LoFi Black Tie at The 04 Center on Thursday, October 29. In a recent Musician Treatment Foundation spotlight, Menezes identifies it as his first solo record and says the release is built from the sounds of Rio de Janeiro, New York City and Austin.
The venue and its official ticket page agree on the essentials: doors open at 6:30 p.m., the show starts at 7:30 p.m., and the event is all ages at 2701 South Lamar Boulevard. The public landing page displays a purchase control but no readable ticket price or inventory count, so this guide does not promise a price or remaining quantity.
Event
The album-release show is Thursday, October 29
- When
- Thursday, October 29, 2026
- Where
- The 04 Center · 2701 S. Lamar Blvd.
- Lineup / admission
- Doors 6:30 p.m. · show 7:30 p.m. · all ages
The 04 Center’s calendar and official Prekindle listing both publish an October 29 date, 6:30 p.m. doors and a 7:30 p.m. showtime. The venue calendar gives the event a 7:30–10 p.m. window and lists a full bar, free onsite parking and an all-ages policy.
Treat the published times as the organizer’s current schedule. Recheck the official listing before traveling, particularly if arrival, parking or an all-ages guest’s entry depends on a detail that could change.

LoFi Black Tie is Menezes’s first solo record

- First solo record · Brazil, New York and Texas influences
In a September Musician Treatment Foundation profile, Menezes says he is releasing his first solo record on October 29 at The 04 Center and names it LoFi Black Tie. He describes the album as reflecting the places he has lived: Rio de Janeiro, New York City and Austin.
Neither the venue listing nor the artist’s current official site publishes a complete track sequence, total running time, label or public streaming link for the album. Trackside is therefore not filling those gaps from unofficial databases or treating the show listing as a complete release catalog.

The announced record includes four notable collaborators
- When
- Credits named in September
- Where
- LoFi Black Tie
- Sound
- JJ Johnson · David Grissom · Keita Ogawa · Henry Hey
Menezes names drummer JJ Johnson, guitarist David Grissom, percussionist Keita Ogawa and keyboardist Henry Hey among the musicians on the record. Those credits come from Menezes’s own comments in the foundation profile rather than a third-party track database.
The public show pages do not identify the October 29 stage lineup or say that every album collaborator will perform. Album participation should not be read as a promise of a guest appearance at the release show.

Ticket sales are live, but the landing page omits the price
- When
- Ticket page checked October 1
- Where
- Official Prekindle listing
- Lineup / admission
- Purchase control visible · price and inventory not published
The official Prekindle page currently displays a Buy Tickets control. Its readable public landing page does not state a dollar price, tier or remaining quantity, so Trackside cannot verify those details without completing a transaction.
Use the official purchase flow and keep the confirmation before attending. A calendar entry or social response is not a ticket, and the organizer can change availability without updating third-party calendars immediately.

Menezes connects Austin with a wider touring and session career
- When
- Artist profile reviewed October 1
- Where
- Austin, Texas
- Sound
- Multi-instrumentalist · arranger · producer
Menezes’s official site describes a career spanning bass, guitar, keyboards, production and arranging. It also identifies him as a member of the soul-pop duo Gritty Sunset and the band FORQ while noting his current activity in Austin’s recording and live-music community.
That background helps explain the album’s cross-city framing without turning a long collaborator list into a claim about the October 29 bill. The venue and ticket pages remain the controlling sources for the event itself.
