Live Music: The Tender Things

The Tender Things are an Austin-based country-rock band that blends classic outlaw country, Americana, folk, and rock into a timeless Texas sound.

Formed by Jesse Ebaugh after his decade-long run as guitarist for Heartless Bastards, the band has earned a reputation for heartfelt songwriting, rich harmonies, and vintage country grooves inspired by the golden era of Texas dance halls.

Drawing influences from artists such as Gram Parsons, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Merle Haggard, and Townes Van Zandt, The Tender Things combine twangy guitars, pedal steel, and soulful rhythms with thoughtful lyrics.
