Nothing Stays the Same celebrates the last 30 years of live music in Austin, Texas, while also examining the challenges faced by musicians and music venues
in one of the fastest-growing and most popular cities in the USA, all through the lens of the legendary Saxon Pub.
With iconic Austin venues closing each year due to rising rents and property taxes, the writing is on the wall for the Saxon Pub, a mainstay in live music since 1990. Soon being forced to a new space - akin to closure for most clubs - its owner Joe Ables, its regulars and staff and its beloved musicians such as local luminaries Joe Ely, Bob Schneider, Patrice Pike, Guy Forsyth, Hector Ward, Carolyn Wonderland, The Resentments, Johnny Nicholas, W.C. Clark, Robynn Shayne and others, turn to face the music until they learn their fate might not be sealed after all.
Call it divine intervention or a stroke of good luck, the Saxon could live to see another day if it plays its cards right...

Press Quotes
Jeff Sandmann's SXSW 2019 Audience Award-winning documentary is just as much a tribute to Austin's musicians as it is to the legendary live music venue established almost 30 years ago in the state capital of Texas.
—Joe Friar, The Victoria Advocate
I found the sense of community that thrives in the Saxon Pub very refreshing.
—Lorry Kikta, FIlm Threat
When Nothing Stays the Same is best is when it's about what it takes to survive, rather than indulging in handwringing.
—Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
