The Austin Area Commission for the Arts will be hosting “Music at the Bank,” featuring Part Time Ex’s, this Saturday at the Austin ArtWorks Center.

Led by Austin natives and Austin High School alumni Jon Stowell (vocals/guitar) and Nick Tobar (guitar), Part Time Ex’s is a St. Paul based rock and roll band. The group has been performing in the Twin Cities metro area and has gained a reputation for high energy and fun blues-rock.

Other members of the band are bassist Ben Greenwald and drummer John Hicks.

They will be returning on Saturday for their third live performance in Austin. The show will feature two musical sets with the debut of a new music video at the beginning on the second set.

The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Austin ArtWorks Center. Admission is $5 at the door. A cash beer and wine bar will be available during the show.
