Home Is Here returns Saturday, October 24, as a free benefit concert for Casa Marianella at Central Machine Works. KUTX’s new event announcement names Austin artists David Garza, Gina Chavez, Bruce Robison and Real Bossa alongside Eritrean musician Tekle Mezghebe.
The venue lists the event window as 6–11 p.m.; KUTX lists the music at 7 p.m. Central Machine Works marks the event free and routes visitors through an RSVP, while Casa Marianella’s verified fundraiser says the campaign supports its free legal-services clinic. This guide keeps those different clocks and participation routes separate.

- When
- Saturday, October 24, 2026
- Where
- Central Machine Works · 4824 E. Cesar Chavez St.
- Lineup / admission
- Event window 6–11 p.m. · music listed at 7 p.m.
Central Machine Works publishes a 6–11 p.m. event window for Home Is Here at its East Cesar Chavez brewery. KUTX’s September 25 announcement gives 7 p.m. as the show time. Read together, the listings support arriving during the first hour for entry and settling in before the announced music time.
The venue’s live calendar is the best day-of source for timing, capacity and operational changes. Trackside is not treating 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. as a contradiction: one is the venue’s overall event window and the other is the station’s performance time.

- All ages · free listing · RSVP route live
Central Machine Works labels Home Is Here free on its calendar and describes its fall music series as all ages. The specific event page links to a live RSVP, so completing that step is the clearest way to register interest and receive any organizer communication.
A free RSVP is not a reserved-seat guarantee. Capacity and entry remain subject to the venue’s live rules, and the organizer can close registration. Recheck the event page before traveling and do not purchase a similarly named third-party ticket.

The benefit supports Casa Marianella’s legal clinic

- Casa Marianella
- Lineup / admission
- $100,000 campaign goal · free legal services for refugees and asylum seekers
Casa Marianella’s verified fundraiser identifies the October 24 concert and sets a $100,000 campaign goal for its Legal Services Clinic. The organization says the clinic helps clients pursue asylum, work authorization and family reunification and provides that legal support without charge.
The public fundraising total changes as gifts arrive, so Trackside is not freezing a live dollar amount into this guide. The goal and stated use of funds are stable campaign facts; readers who want the current progress should use the official fundraiser.

The event belongs to a larger nonprofit music series

- Live at Central

- 13 Fridays · 20+ bands · eight nonprofit partners
Central Machine Works places Home Is Here within its Live at Central fall series. The venue describes 13 Friday shows, more than 20 bands and eight nonprofit partners, with partner organizations on site and a portion of season drink sales donated.
Home Is Here itself falls on a Saturday, October 24, even though the series summary uses the phrase “13 Fridays.” The date-specific event page controls for this concert. That is why this guide uses the individual listing for arrival details and the series page only for the wider benefit-series context.
