About the Event

Join the Autry for happy hour! Enjoy live music and dancing on the plaza with performances by old-time string band Smoke Holler, and try an exclusive cocktail featured in the book Cowboy Cocktails by Andre Darlington.  

Smoke Holler is an old-time string band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Specializing in driving dance tunes, crooked gems, and sweet harmonies, Smoke Holler’s high-energy music is rooted in the rich fiddling traditions of America while imprinting a proper California vibe into the whole mix. Smoke Holler is no stranger to old bluegrass and country music as well.
