The National Theatre of Breckenridge’s 2025-26 Performance Series will open on Saturday, Sept. 20, with a performance by Reid Bros.

According to his website, “Reid Bros.” is the project name used by Austin-native songwriter Reid Umstattd for his band and his Americana/country solo material. He was previously the lead singer of the Austin-based rock band Nelo. 

The name Reid Bros. is borrowed from a clothing store run by his grandparents, in Corinth, Mississippi.

Umstattd explained the Reid Bros. name in a Facebook post a few years ago:

“My grandparents Martha and Doug Hammond (known to their grandkids as Nini and Coke), ran two boutiques in their small town of Corinth Mississippi. My grandmother’s, called Hammond House, focused on women’s fashion and household furnishings. My grandfather’s was a men’s clothing store called Reid Brothers.

“Growing up, Reid Brothers represented so many things to me – it was a symbol of my grandparent’s small town/hard work ethos, but also a playground for me and my sisters and cousins, a CS Lewis-style wardrobe where our imaginations ran wild. We made memories at Reid Brothers and all over Corinth that I hold as close as any memories I can think of.

“In the run up to the release of my new record, I made the decision to find a new name to release my music under. It needed to be something that felt more communal than a single person’s first and last name, and it also had to represent something personal enough to me that I could stay connected to it as the project grows into the future.

“Reid Brothers represents family, adventure, memories and mystery, four things that have become the backbone of the small collection of songs I’ve written thus far. And really, what is life without family, adventure, memories and mystery?”

The Reid Bros. performance on Saturday, Sept. 20, is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

Tickets cost $20 for adults (age 18+) and $10 for students (17 and younger). Tickets are available for purchase online (click here). Online ticket sales will end at 3 p.m. the day of the show. Tickets will be available for purchase at the box office based on availability. For those not wanting to make an online ticket purchase, a limited number of physical tickets are available to purchase (cash or check only) at Clear Fork Bank in Breckenridge.

During the show, the Performance Series’ presenting sponsor, Blackhorse Mercantile and Cafe, will be serving beer and wine for purchase in the theater’s bar area. Customers must be 21 to purchase adult beverages, and a valid ID will be required. Bottled water will also be available for purchase.

This is the fourth annual Performance Series by the National Theatre and the Friends of Historic Breckenridge. Other performances planned for this season’s series include:

  • 3 Fools on 3 Stools on Nov. 8
  • Maggie Amini and Kevin Singleton on Dec. 6
