For years Cactus Lee has quietly made records at a relentless pace, plugging along and playing out at local honky tonks in and around his hometown of Austin, Texas. The project has played New York and Los Angeles multiple times, as well as a Chicago residency as part of the Cosmic Country showcase.

An intimate evening steeped in the crossroads of country, swing, and jazz featuring Elana James, a premier ambassador of Western swing and former member of Bob Dylan's touring band. She will be joined by veterans of the Austin swing scene for a special night at The Cactus Cafe.
The space feels intimate and focused, seating about 60 people for a close-up musical experience. It carries a relaxed, academic atmosphere that tends to attract a more mature, faculty-heavy crowd during performances.ambiance_potoo
