The Blackbird Mafia live at Red Rooster IceHouse

The Blackbird Mafia is a Texas-based band whose sound blends Southern rock, Texas country, and Americana into a live show that fills a room. On Saturday, December 12, 2026, they play the Red Rooster IceHouse in Hawkins, about 30 minutes southwest of the property. A December show at an East Texas icehouse has its own character: the night air is cold, the venue is warm, and the crowd shows up ready for a Saturday night.

The show

The band

The Blackbird Mafia has been making their mark on the Texas regional music scene with a sound that draws from Southern rock and Americana traditions. Their live shows are characterized by strong musicianship, vocal harmonies, and the kind of stage energy that makes a winter Saturday night at the icehouse feel like the center of the social calendar. They are one of the regular acts that keep the Red Rooster schedule filled with quality music throughout the year.

The venue

Red Rooster IceHouse on FM 14 in Hawkins is a classic East Texas music hall with a restaurant, full bar, and an indoor stage that hosts regional and national acts throughout the year. The menu runs to burgers, chicken fried steak, and Southern comfort food, and the atmosphere is the kind that makes a winter Saturday night feel like a genuine night out. It is about 30 minutes southwest of the property.

The drive from the property

County Road 1070 to Hawkins is about 30 minutes via US-80 and US-271. A December drive through the Piney Woods at night has its own appeal: the trees are bare, the stars are visible through the cold clear air, and the warm glow of the icehouse when you arrive is the kind of destination that makes the short trip feel like part of the night out. For anyone considering the property for full-time living, having a live music venue thirty minutes away that books quality acts year-round is the kind of local amenity that keeps rural life from feeling remote.
