Restos presents RestFest 3!
Overview
Tickets are available for a single show or a 2-night package!
Friday, December 26 Features: The Let Down @10pm, Restos @11pm, Harvest Thieves @12:30am.
The Let Down is an Austin power pop quartet that released its debut EP, Awake, in 2025. Their sound features jangly guitars, melodic hooks, and a touch of alt-rock edge. The band members have past résumés that include projects like Dawes, Nikki Lane, and Israel Nash.
Born and bred in Austin, Texas, Restos is an American rock and roll band down to its core, blending country, blues and psychedelic into tasteful yet gritty tunes its heroes would appreciate. The band released its debut album “Ain’t Dead Yet” in 2023 with critics hailing:
"A melody worthy of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" - Austin Chronicle
"[Graham Weber] delivers some of his best songs to date on Ain'tDead Yet" - No Depression
The band has spent 2024 and most of 2025 promoting and touring, even making its first trip across the Atlantic with multiple sold out shows across a tour of Spain. A new record is in the works for 2026. Stay tuned!
Upon first listen, Harvest Thieves' native Texan roots show through. The band's well-crafted lyrics are confessional yet fluid, and they paint with strokes that put you squarely into a story - in a way that eases a relation to your own.
With potent storytelling, a smattering of rollicking guitars and fiddle playing, colorful harmonies, and the occasional honky-tonk tune, Harvest Thieves gather the most vulnerable details of their crossroads and recount their experience in a manner that provides an openness and honesty that most artists never approach.
Saturday, December 27 Features: Matthew McNeal @10pm, Restos @11pm, Parker Woodland @12:30am.
“All of Matthew McNeal’s releases are stylistically expansive, crisscrossing nimbly between the lean grooves of “Texas Heat,” the swirling psychedelia of “Rumorosa,” and the angular, almost post-punk guitar work of “Sweetheart” plus spots in between. The glue between them is McNeal and (longtime-collaborator and bandmate Andre) Black’s combined musical sensibilities, with an emphasis on emotive songwriting. It’s real, it’s honest, it’s always coming straight from the heart. ”
