The Pershing Listening Room Welcomes: Madam Radar

MADAM RADAR

Austin Rock, Turned All the Way Up

Live at Pershing Hall – Saturday, September 26, 2026

Some bands sound good on a record.

Madam Radar is the kind of band you need to experience in a room.

The Austin-based Americana rock band has built its reputation around explosive harmonies, soaring guitar solos, deeply personal songwriting and a live show with very little interest in sitting still.

On Saturday, September 26, they’re bringing all of it to Pershing Hall.

MEET THE FAMILY

Madam Radar isn’t just a band. It’s quite literally a family affair.

Jace Cadle is married to Kelly Green. Kelly is the sister of Kody Lee. Kody is married to Violet Lea.

Got it?

Good. Because once they start playing, the family tree matters considerably less than the chemistry it creates.

Kelly, Violet and Jace rotate through lead vocals while all four members contribute harmonies, giving Madam Radar a layered sound that can move from Americana storytelling to full-throttle rock without losing its identity.

It’s big, colorful and unapologetically alive.

AN AUSTIN BAND WORTH KNOWING

Madam Radar has become a familiar name in the Austin music scene for good reason.

The band is a two-time Sonic Guild grant recipient and made history as the first Austin-based band to perform at Moody Center. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with artists including Bon Jovi, Lukas Nelson, Arc Angels, Hayes Carll, Jackie Venson, Jack Ingram and Shinyribs.

But their story isn’t just about who they’ve opened for.

It’s about what they’ve built themselves.

Their 2022 album SPEAKS helped push the band’s sound forward, while 2025’s MOTEL captured something every working band eventually comes to understand: life on the road changes you.

Produced with Grammy Award winner Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Michael Brauer, MOTEL is a love letter to the road, the people found along the way and the strange feeling of finally coming home.

For Madam Radar, home happens to be Austin.

MADAM RADAR LIVE AT PERSHING HALL

There’s something especially satisfying about seeing an Austin band in an Austin room.

On Saturday, September 26, Madam Radar takes the stage at Pershing Hall for a night of big guitars, bigger harmonies and the kind of energy that’s hard to manufacture.

Kicking off the night: Filthy Casual.

This is local indie rock crafted for overthinkers—loaded with massive hooks, unrefined power, and a healthy dose of emotional mayhem. Fresh off their 2026 release chill… but barely, they craft tunes that demand to be cranked all the way up.

Arrive early. Bring the energy. This is live local music in its finest form.
