Live Music at MOTS
This is where the music lives.
Mouth of the South isn't just a restaurant—it's a gathering place and a damn good reason to stay out late or get up early. We bring in real musicians playing real music, right in the middle of it all. No velvet ropes, no separation. Just good sound settling into your bones while you eat, drink, and lose track of time.
We've hosted heavy hitters like Hector Anchondo, Tom Pevear, Dustin Arbuckle & Matt Woods, Gunnar Guenette, Steve Lovett, Brody Buster, Tony Holiday, and Max Kaplan. Whether it's a weeknight set or a weekend throwdown, expect scratch-made Southern food, strong drinks, and music that hits you right in the soul.
Blues Brunch | Select Saturday & Sundays
Our weekend reset. Live blues, bottomless good times, and the kind of brunch worth crawling out of bed for. Bring your people, camp out for a while, and let the music do the rest.
Check our lineup and plan your next visit.

MOTS After Dark | September 3rd, October 1st, November 5th
This fall, we're staying open late and turning our dining room over to full live bands the first Thursday of each month. We're calling it MOTS After Dark.
If you were here for our Mardi Gras party, you know the kind of night we mean. West Omaha doesn't get enough live music, so we're handling it ourselves. Hand-picked bands, kitchen open late, room turned loud.
First dates listed below. Don't make other plans.
MOTS Event Calendar
Brody Buster One Man Band | Sunday Blues Brunch
October 11 | 11am - 2pm
About Brody:
At just seven years old, Brody Buster picked up one of his mother's harmonicas and began teaching himself to play. Within a few short years, he was jamming on Beale Street in Memphis, taking the blues world by storm.
As a child prodigy, Brody shared stages with legends including Quincy Jones, Chaka Khan, Keb' Mo', and Lee Oskar. B.B. King himself took a keen interest in Brody's talent, inviting him to perform together numerous times over the years. Television appearances followed, with highlights including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Dateline, The Jon Stewart Show, and Full House.
At sixteen, Brody stepped away from the spotlight to live as a normal teenager. In 2013, he reemerged with "Brody Buster's One Man Band"—electric guitar, phenomenal harmonica skills, snare, kick drum, and high-octane energy. In 2017, he returned to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge, competing against over 150 world-class musicians. He walked away with first place for Best Harmonica Player and second place for Best Solo/Duo Act, then toured the U.S. and Canada, performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Tremblant International Blues Festival, and beyond.
After navigating personal struggles during the pandemic, Brody relocated to Missouri in 2023 and committed to a fresh start. Now rooted in sobriety and renewed purpose, he's poured his experiences into new music, recording his first self-produced full-band studio album with some of Kansas City's finest blues musicians.

Matt Woods Band | MOTS After Dark
November 5 | 8pm - 11pm
About MOTS After Dark:
MOTS After Dark is our live music night. A full band takes the room from 8 to 11, the bar's open the whole time, and the kitchen keeps appetizers coming. No cover, ever. Walk-ins only, so come early if you want a seat.
West Omaha doesn't get enough live music, so we're handling it ourselves.
The music's on the house.
About Matt Woods Band:
The Matt Woods Band plays old school urban electric blues out of Des Moines, the kind of hard-hitting, guitar-driven sound that came straight out of the Chess Records catalog. Matt Woods handles guitar and vocals and puts up 100+ shows a year across the Midwest. Patrick Recob has spent three decades touring on bass, including runs with the Gary Primich Band and Lee McBee & The Confessors. Dwight Dario is an Iowa Blues Hall of Famer who toured Europe a dozen times with the Big George Jackson Blues Band. Put them in a room together and it turns into a blues party.
