Bar, bakery, music venue, Quackenbush’s latest location in South Austin demonstrates legitimate booking acumen in staging ATX vocalist Jake Lloyd. Supported by homegrown locals in rapper Big Kee and hip-hop crooner Nubia Emmon, the 2021 Geto Gala breakout alongside Deezie Brown checked in on Memorial Day: “We’re gonna walk you the listener through a few genres,” he emailed of his Quack’s bow. “Give you a couple covers you would not expect, with all the Jake Lloyd you can handle.” Recent singles “Purple Pen Passage” and “Cold Summer” verify his genre fusion: “I’ve settled on genre-fluidity, with a focus on alternative R&B and rap-soul."
