Another year, another reason to gather. The Wild Detectives and Deep Vellum have spent years building a space where literature, music, and conversation create something larger than the sum of their parts. This anniversary, we’re doing what we love most: bringing together the voices, sounds, and people who have shaped this place.

Saturday brings an extraordinary, genre-spanning lineup: throughout the day, music will be curated by special annual guest DJ Tempranillo, arriving from Madrid with an eclectic blend of electronic, house, pop, and even rock. The program features Júlia Coelho’s Bossa Nossa Trio, joined by Wes Case and Nick Rothouse, playing a delightful set of bossa nova. For this special occasion, D-CLAIM is joined by Deep Vellum–published poet Dorothy Chan, where groove-driven jazz meets live poetry.

The day continues with boundary-pushing performances by The Point, an Austin-based trio weaving together cumbia, psychedelic rock, Ethiopian jazz, and Thai funk, and Rogues Gallery, a doom-funk supergroup led by Gaika James, fusing hip-hop, brass band, and salsa into a hypnotic sonic experience. Closing out the night, Elkin Pautt (Afroperreo) and Justin Orion (Fala Comigo) join forces for the first time, delivering a vibrant, multicultural dancefloor energy.

All the while, Parking Lot Pitmen will be serving up incredibly tasty BBQ, keeping the celebration fueled from start to finish.

Sunday is about homegrown magic. We celebrate our local programming with special one-time editions of Talking Dirty After Dark & Inner Moonlight, Paella on the Porch, Loose Sounds, and Velada Vinyl—a day dedicated to the voices, music, and stories that make this community what it is.

Also, special edition t-shirts and totes!
