Music lovers, rejoice: Hutto's Brushy Creek Amphitheater will host an inaugural Tailgates & Tunes summer concert series.

The concert series is set to launch June 20 with a performance by singer-songwriter Jack Ingram, according to a June 5 news release.

Kevin Fowler will perform June 27, and Read Southall Band will ring in Independence Day on July 4. Each set will run roughly 90 minutes. Additional dates are expected to be added in the near future, per the release.

“We’re looking forward to creating a safe way for the greater Austin community to come together again to enjoy what we all love – live music,” said Jennifer Stevens, Tailgates & Tunes event producer, in the release. “Good music and good times are what we all need now more than ever, and I’m excited to bring this series to life.”

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, attendance will be restricted to 25% capacity to adhere with social distancing provisions, per the release. The amphitheater's lawn will be divided into "individual square pods measuring six feet by six feet," according to the release. Two to four guests will be allowed in each pod.


The summer concert series is produced by JHL and RS3. Event producers said they will work with Williamson County and city of Hutto officials to meet recommended standards by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Event staff will be required to wear personal protective equipment, and guests will be encouraged to wear face coverings, per the release.

Tailgates & Tunes has partnered with the Central Texas Food Bank to offer guests an opportunity to donate to the nonprofit when purchasing tickets online.

“The Central Texas Food Bank is thrilled to be a beneficiary of Tailgates & Tunes to bring live music back to Central Texas while raising awareness and funds to support many families in need,” said Mark Jackson, Central Texas Food Bank chief development officer, in the release.
