Tonight begins night one of two in which the venue will play host to two different live music showcases that will feature different genres of local Latin music. Kicking things off first tonight will be Timberos Del Norte and Son De Rey.

Williams is joined by some of Texas’ most accomplished and award-winning musicians, including Multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winning horn arranger and trombonist, Raul “Ralo” Vallejo. Timberos Del Norte perform at 10 p.m.

Closing the showcase tonight is Austin-based Latin-fusion band Son De Rey. Fronted by the dynamic and always energetic Luis Miguel Ramírez, the group performs original music and covers ranging from English language dance tracks to Tejano faves. Son De Rey takes the stage at 11:30 p.m.

With Ruta Maya closing their doors and looking to relocate, there is a void in the Austin salsa scene. The good news for salseros is that other venues seem to be looking hopefully fill that void, including Antone’s. Already playing host to the monthly Latin rock series Movimiento Rockero, Antone’s is now presenting new monthly residency with Austin-based band Timberos Del Norte. According to Timberos Del Norte pianist Paul Matthews, this will take place through January.

Timberos Del Norte is composed of some of Texas’ most accomplished and award-winning musicians.  Musicians from well-known Latin dance bands have come together from all over the state to form Austin’s newest Timba bands. Timba is a popular Cuban genre that incorporates elements of  salsa, American funk, R&B and Afro-Cuban folkloric music.

Antone’s is located at 213 West 5th Street. Doors open at 8 p.m. Show starts at 9 p.m. $10 cover. All ages welcome. Advance tickets are available here. Visit the event post on Do512 here.
