Stop by George’s Pizza downtown on Sunday nights this fall for live local music showcases.

Owner Kevin Soiney said he will feature local singer-songwriter James Bracken as well as a variety of other local acts throughout the season at his restaurant on Main Street. He said local blues singer Jesse Smith is another artist among many that he expects on the lineup. The first showcase was Sept. 20 and there is no definitive final show date.

Bracken has toured the country with his folk-style music and eclectic variety of cover tunes and is excited to play in his hometown this fall.

“I’m gonna be kicking off what we hope to be a steady Sunday night free music showcase at George’s,” he said.

Bracken is also a part of several other local Austin musical projects, like the Jimmy Love Rhythm & Soul Band. He includes guitar, harmonica and electric piano in his solo performances.

Shows begin at 9 p.m. Sundays through fall, and there is no cover charge.
