AUSTIN, Texas – Aug. 30, 2023 – Austin’s favorite family friendly live music series, KUTX 98.9’s Rock the Park, is back at Mueller Lake Park with a curated mix of local artists including Being Dead, Charlie Faye & the Fanimals, Lesly Reynaga Rockaroni & Cheese, and THEBROSFRESH.
Named “Best Kids and Family Wild Card” in the “Austin Chronicle’s” annual Readers’ Poll, KUTX’s Rock the Park is in its 12th season of bringing kids to the dance floor.
The fall 2023 line-up and schedule is as follows:
September 22
- 6:30 p.m. Uncle Jumbo play heartfelt, uniting and jammin’ music for children everywhere, in an effort to help raise generations of positive, loving people.
- 7:15 p.m. Surf rockers Being Dead sling oddball humor with a side of freak pop.
October 27

- 7:15 p.m. Latin pop trailblazer Lesly Reynaga delivers modern, mariachi-influenced pop sounds that have made waves from Austin City Limits Music Festival to Lollapalooza.
November 10
- 6:30 p.m. The family band Rockaroni & Cheese makes up their own songs that you’ve never hear before – unless you’ve seen them before (according to band member Milo).
- 7:15 p.m. The Shea butter-smooth “GuitaR&B” sounds of brothers Thurman and Torrence Thomas who perform as THEBROSFRESH, harkens earlier elements of upbeat ’80s-esque synth-pop and unhurried, ’90s-style melody-driven hip-hop.
