Following years of fan requests and speculation, Austin alt-country outfit The Gourds have announced a full reunion show to take place on Saturday, April 12th, 2025 at Sam’s Town Point. Tickets are currently on sale for $105-$305 here.
The Gourds played their final show in Austin, Texas on October 27th, 2013 after nearly two decades. Listen to a recording of that show here. Since then, co-frontman Kevin Russell and drummer Keith Langford have ridden a wave of success with their Gulf Coast boogie-woogie soul outfit Shinyribs while other members have been involved in various projects. The 2025 reunion will mark the first time since 2013 that the original lineup has performed together. Earlier this year, a partial lineup of the band reunited onstage to play Gourds tunes at the Old Settler’s Music Festival outside of Austin. Check out video of that performance below. At this point, there is no talk of a full tour or additional shows for The Gourds, so the upcoming Austin show may be the only opportunity in the foreseeable future to catch the cult favorites.
