About the Event

Event Join the Autry for happy hour! Enjoy live music and dancing on the plaza with full-band performances by singer-songwriter Matt Axton and try an exclusive cocktail featured in the book Cowboy Cocktails by Andre Darlington. 

Matt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted, that’s a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days, but in Matt’s case, it’s more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on. As the son of the legendary Hoyt Axton and grandson of Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductee Mae Boren Axton, Matt has lived a life full of amazing music and his performances reflect his rich heritage.

Tickets include: 

• Admission to the live music performance featuring Matt Axton and his band

• Pub-games on plaza 

• Access to full cash bar and food trucks 

• After-hours museum access
