oin Native Son for a blistering night of dinner and psychobilly fire with the Reverend Horton Heat – Jim Heath solo – tearing it up in downtown Canton, TX on January 22, 2026!

This is the high-octane exclusive you’ve been craving: the godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly (as Prick magazine crowned him) – who’s slayed Coachella, Glastonbury, Riot Fest, and Stagecoach since his late-‘80s Dallas debut – is stripping it down for one rare solo acoustic dinner show in our 50-seat haven. Just 50 tickets to witness the Rev’s street-preacher swagger, that slicked-back ‘50s shaman vibe channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, and guitar shredding energy turned intimate. When these sell out (and they will – fast), your rockabilly regrets will echo louder than a flat tire on a freight train.

Expect Rev classics reimagined like an unplugged fever dream – think “Psychobilly Freakout,” “Big Red Rocket of Love,” and “Let Me Teach You How to Eat” – laced with the wit, Southern charm, and wild behind-the-scenes tales from 11 studio albums, TV spots on Homicide: Life on the Street and The Drew Carey Show, and a career that’s charted higher than Johnny Horton ever dreamed (hello, #2 on the Billboard Heatseekers). It’s the primal tribal rock ‘n’ roll transfiguration fans rave about: “Nothing like it,” as Tipitina’s puts it – pure musical nitrous straight to your hot-rod heart.

Only 50 reserved seats. Kitchen open all night with the full East Texas Food menu (smoked pork chops that’ll make you holler), bar pouring strong for toasting legends, and the best little psychobilly pulpit in East Texas waiting to ignite.

Seating for dinner begins at 7pm. Show starts at 8:00pm.
Meal & drinks not included with ticket. Want to come early or have questions? Call Ryan at 469-583-6303.

Rev your engines and grab your spot – this one’s gonna vanish quicker than a bus fire at Sturgis.

Join Native Son for an intimate dinner with Texas Music stalwart Matt Hillyer – frontman of Eleven Hundred Springs – live in downtown Canton, TX!

For 23 years Matt led one of the hardest-working, best-loved honky-tonk bands in the state. Now he’s bringing that lifetime of dance-hall stories, rockabilly swagger, and pure country heart to our 50-seat room for one intimate solo acoustic dinner show.

Fresh off his brand-new album Bright Skyline, expect the EHS classics you know by heart, brand-new gems, and the kind of between-song tales that only come from a guy who’s earned every mile on his boots.

Only 50 reserved seats. Kitchen open all night with the full East Texas Food menu, bar pouring strong, and the best little listening room in East Texas waiting to feel like home.

Seating begins at 7pm. Show starts at 8pm.

Meal & drinks not included with ticket. Want to come early or have questions? Call Ryan at 469-583-6303.

Grab your spot quick – these shows have been selling out fast.

Join Native Son for an unforgettable private dinner with the undisputed Queen of Austin Americana – Kelly Willis – right here in downtown Canton, TX!

This is a legit big-deal, once-in-a-lifetime night: Kelly Willis is the woman Brad Paisley calls one of the greatest voices he’s ever heard, who had Dwight Yoakam begging to sing harmonies with her, and who spent years making stone-classic Texas Music with Bruce Robison... and she is coming to our 50-seat restaurant for one exclusive solo acoustic dinner show. Just 50 tickets. That’s it. When they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

Kelly’s story is pure Texas legend: discovered in Austin by Nanci Griffith, signed to MCA at barely 20, dropped by Nashville way too soon, then came roaring back with the landmark What I Deserve – the album that made critics from Rolling Stone to No Depression lose their minds and earned her a permanent throne in the Austin Music Hall of Fame. That honey-and-whiskey voice (the one Robert Christgau called “enormous”) still stops conversations dead, whether she’s singing heartbreakers, honky-tonk bangers, or the brand-new divorce carols she’s road-testing right now.

Expect all the hits you forgot you loved, a few stories that’ll make you laugh till your ribs hurt, and that voice filling every inch of our little joint like it was built for her. 50 seats. One stage. Zero strangers by the end of the night.

Seating is reserved and stupidly limited – once these sell out (and they will), your cousin’s gonna be real sad he waited. Kitchen’s slinging the full East Texas Food menu til 10pm, bar’s pouring strong, and the vibes are pure Lone Star magic.

Seating begins at 7pm. Show kicks at 8:00pm sharp. Meal & drinks not included with ticket. Want to slide in earlier or got questions? Hit Ryan Sumner at 469-583-6303.

Don’t sleep on this one, y’all – tell your people, grab your tickets, and let’s sell this thing out before breakfast tomorrow.
