Antone’s turns a Monday night into a concentrated Austin blues history lesson with Love for Lazy Lester, a tribute to the Louisiana singer, guitarist and harmonica player whose recordings helped define swamp blues. The venue’s live calendar lists nine musicians by name—Jimmie Vaughan, Mark Hummel, Anson Funderburgh, Wes Starr, Johnny Nicholas, Mike Morgan, Mike Buck, Eve Monsees and Josh Fulero—followed by “and more.”
The show is tonight, October 5, at Antone’s Nightclub, 305 East Fifth Street. Antone’s lists 7 p.m. doors, an 8 p.m. start and a 21-and-older policy. The official page still routes to Ticketmaster, but neither page publishes a reliable remaining-capacity count, a set order or an end time; check the live ticket page before heading downtown.

Antone’s names Jimmie Vaughan, Mark Hummel, Anson Funderburgh, Wes Starr, Johnny Nicholas, Mike Morgan, Mike Buck, Eve Monsees and Josh Fulero on the bill. The words “and more” leave room for additional participants, but the venue has not published another confirmed name on the event page.
The listing does not assign a running order, identify a house band, promise a specific collaboration or publish a finish time. Treat the announced names as the bill—not as a guarantee that every musician plays a full individual set—and use the venue’s page for any late change.

Antone’s still displays a Buy Tickets control for tonight, and Ticketmaster continues to list the 8 p.m. event. That confirms an active sales route; it does not establish how many tickets remain or what the final all-in price will be when a buyer reaches checkout.
The venue marks the show 21 and older. Bring the identification the ticketing and venue policies require, and confirm the order before traveling. Trackside is not publishing a price because the organizer page does not show one and checkout totals can change with inventory and fees.

Lazy Lester helped define Louisiana swamp blues
- When
- 1933–2018
- Where
- Louisiana and the international blues circuit
- Sound
- Vocals · harmonica · guitar
Alligator Records’ artist history says Lazy Lester first reached the blues scene as a harmonica player with Lightnin’ Slim and continued performing his Louisiana swamp-blues style through 2018. The label describes the sound Lester called swamp blues as a meeting of blues, swamp pop and honky-tonk country music.
That mix is the reason this is more than a generic memorial jam. Lester’s catalog rewards attention to the spaces between styles: clipped harmonica phrases, unhurried vocals, country turns and rhythm parts built for movement rather than display.

All Over You ties Lester directly to Antone’s
- Release date
- Released October 6, 1998
- Where
- Antone’s Records
- Details
- 12 tracks · recorded in Austin
Antone’s Records’ official Bandcamp page dates All Over You to October 6, 1998 and lists 12 tracks, from “I Need Money” through “My Home Is A Prison.” Its credits identify Lester on harmonica, guitar and vocals and place the album inside the label’s Austin catalog.
The 25th-anniversary credits name Mike Buck on drums, linking one of tonight’s announced players directly to the record. They also thank Cliff Antone and the Antone’s circle, and note use of Willie Nelson’s studio. Those credits make All Over You the clearest pre-show starting point for hearing the Austin relationship behind the tribute.

Antone’s 50th archive preserves Lester in the club’s story
- Release date
- Released July 11, 2025
- Where
- Antone’s Records archive
- Details
- 50th-anniversary compilation
The official Antone’s: 50 Years of the Blues collection includes Lazy Lester’s “No Special Rider” among rare, out-of-print and previously unearthed live and studio recordings from the club and label archives. The credits also include Jimmie Vaughan across the larger set.
That compilation is useful context for tonight because it places Lester beside the musicians and recordings that built Antone’s identity. It does not reveal tonight’s set list; no official source has published one.

- Start with Lester, then follow the players
Begin with All Over You, then follow the announced names outward: Vaughan and Funderburgh for Texas guitar, Hummel for harmonica-led West Coast blues, Nicholas and Morgan for songwriter-frontman perspectives, and Buck, Starr, Monsees and Fulero for the Austin rhythm-and-guitar network around the club.
That listening route is editorial context, not a forecast of who will lead which song. The only reliable claims about tonight are the names, venue, date, times and age policy published by Antone’s.
