Rickie Lee Jones has a glowing night at new South Austin venue / Austin 360 / Peter Blackstock / 6.23.19
A South Austin church recently converted into a part-time music venue might not have seemed an obvious setting for a great show from Rickie Lee Jones, whose live performances have at times vacillated with the circumstances. “I guess I can tell you now, I really thought this show was going to suck,” she confided at the end of a two-hour concert at the 04 Center that was, instead, a joyously wondrous evening with one of America’s greatest living singer-songwriters…
Vieux Farka Touré and Jackie Venson Help Christen the 04 Center / Austin Chronicle / Derek Udensi / 6.3.19
Blues guitarists Boureima “Vieux” Farka Touré and Jackie Venson electrified the 04 Center on Friday night. South Lamar’s Faith United Methodist Church until January 2018, the Austin New Church is now booked by Dallas promotors Kessler Presents – partners in the Old Settler’s Music Festival – after dark…
The 04 Center was nominated for “Best New Venue/Club” in the Austin Chronicle’s 2019 Music Poll
“A truly stunning room to sing and perform in, crystal clear acoustics with a comforting warmth to bring out the best in every performer. The 04 Center is a dream to work with and we can’t wait to come back and play this venue again!”
“The 04 Room is my favorite new venue! It is an intimate listening-room with a high-quality pro sound system curated by Nomad Sound that brings out the natural acoustics of the room. The space is really flexible with comfortable seating and not a bad seat in the house. I love this venue!”
“This room sounds good everywhere! Great venue.”
“Our show had been moved from the Cactus Cafe to the 04 Center due to a plumbing issue, and the new venue was a lovely surprise! An A-Frame church, it was a perfect place for this band. The Controllers sounded amazing, the audience was great, and I saw a ton of friends. A very nice evening in one of my favorite cities.”
“Beautiful sounding room, amazingly accommodating team, just and all around incredible venue.”
“One of my favorite musical experiences ever. The 04 Room is as much of an instrument as it is a venue. ”
“Last night’s performance (The Lone Bellow) was so incredible!! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for being for friendly and welcoming! My favorite venue in Austin! Looking forward to coming back!”
“I love seeing my favorite, the Paul Thorn band, a couple of times and the sound is great, the seating is comfortable, and the staff is always friendly.”
“Great venue for seeing live, intimate shows. Even though it’s at a church, they do have a bar and it’s just about the music. We will definitely return!”
“Had no idea this place was a church. Very welcoming atmosphere and great acoustics.”
“This music venue is a very special place, not only because of the acoustics and sound but because it’s held in a church. And this venue has a really great bar. It seems so cozy and reminds me of old Austin with its scope and easy attitude. We have been to three concerts here and all of them provide great seating because it’s a small venue and you’re close to the stage. We will definitely be back over and over and over again.”
“Went to a private listening event here. The acoustics were excellent. Smallish, so every seat was a good one. They allowed a cash bar. Plenty of parking.”
“So much coolness (and Austin-wide love) went into setting this place up! One of a kind place!”
“Great space for events, wonderful acoustics and friendly staff!”
“One of my new favorite music venues in Austin. They bring in high quality musicians from all over the world!”
“Amazing acoustics, great spot!”
