The Lavens Bring a Saturday-Night Americana Set to B Daddy's BBQ in Old Town Helotes

HELOTES, TX - April 29, 2026. The Lavens will play B Daddy's BBQ in Old Town Helotes on Saturday, May 2, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, pairing the band's San Antonio-rooted Americana sound with one of the area's most lived-in barbecue rooms.

The show is built for the full Saturday-night experience: live music, Texas wood-smoked brisket, homemade mac and cheese, borracho beans, hardwood floors, a saloon-style bar, deck seating, picnic tables, and the easy movement of a dog- and family-friendly crowd. B Daddy's BBQ is located at 14436 Old Bandera Rd, Suite 3, Helotes, TX 78023.

B Daddy's is a Texas Monthly-featured barbecue stop in Old Town Helotes, recommended by 96 percent of more than 1,100 reviewers. The appeal is not just the food or the music in isolation; it is the way the room carries both at once. The Lavens make sense there: warm harmonies, Texas Americana, country, folk, and country-blues in a venue where people can listen, eat, bring the family, and make an evening of it without turning the night into a production.

The confirmed May 2 lineup features Jana Laven, Andreas Laven, Niko Laven, Michael Madison, and Chris McWilliams.

The Lavens have long been part of San Antonio's Americana map, with a history that includes a San Antonio Current "Best of '07" No. 1 Americana Band honor, Best Band at the Uncle Bill Roach Band Texas Music Festival, Top of the World Folk Battle of the Bands recognition, international dates including The Golden Lion in Bristol, UK, and a long local relationship with rooms that value songs over volume.

There is no cover charge for the music. Food and drink are available from B Daddy's regular menu at regular menu prices. Event updates and RSVP details are available on the Facebook event page.
