About the Event

Join the Autry for happy hour! 

Enjoy live music and dancing on the plaza with classic-country band The Soda Crackers and try an exclusive cocktail featured in the book Cowboy Cocktails by Andre Darlington. With a goal to bring back the "classics," The Soda Crackers have that full Bakersfield sound with a nice helping of western swing thrown in as a side dish of sorts. The Soda Crackers celebrate the unsung heroes of the Bakersfield sound, the B-side gems that never get played, and the showmanship plus the instrumentation that all the greats brought to the smoky ol' beer joints & dance halls from years gone by. 

Tickets include: 

• Admission to the live music performances featuring The Soda Crackers 
• Pub-games on plaza 
• Access to full cash bar and food trucks 
• After-hours museum access

6:00pm | Doors Open
6:30pm | First Performance by The Soda Crackers
