Join us in the Hilton Austin’s live music venue, the Reverbery, for a taste of the live music capital of the world, networking, and craft cocktails. With industrial modern architecture combined with mid-century modern furniture, The Reverbery borrows all the best elements from Austin recording studios and Austin living rooms.
The evening will feature an set by Austin music scene sensation the 80 H Project.
80H project came together in the fertile music hotbed of their native Austin, TX. The band combines R&B, rock, jazz, and Latin American beats in the instrumentation. Their flawless, three-part harmonies top this giant wave of resonance.
Ady Hernandez, band leader, has the tenacity of a new up-and-coming artist combined with the history of a seasoned vet. Ady “Plays guitar like Carlos Santana and sings like Stevie Wonder.”
