Monks Jazz Club
Austin, TX

Monks Jazz Club is a mission‑driven, artist‑centered jazz venue in Austin, Texas. Founded by Collin Shook, Monks began in 2016 as a pop‑up listening room with the intention of creating a dedicated space where jazz was at the forefront. The venue's emphasis on focused listening, artistic integrity, and audience experience offers an alternative to louder bars or formal concert halls. Over the years, this commitment has been recognized in local media and by Austin music audiences as an essential part of the city’s cultural backbone.
