Whether you are just visiting Austin,
TX for the first time or you have visited before, you are probably well aware
of our claim that Austin is the “Live Music Capital of the World". From
live music at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to the bustling row of
clubs and music venues on throughout downtown and the surrounding areas.
Since there are so many places to
choose from, I created a list of "must-see" venues:
The Broken Spoke
– A classic “Honky Tonk” staple located in South Austin. Come here to line
dance, people watch and soak in the culture.
Antone’s – It
opened in 1975 originally on 6th street with live blues acts and has
relocated to the corner of 5th and Lavaca Street with a diverse genre of
musical acts from local faves to big named bands. Antone’s will be relocating
once again in mid-March 2013.
Emo’s East
– They have recently relocated from their tiny location on 6th
street to the east side: Oltorf/East Riverside.
Their new location is huge! It’s not as cozy/cramped as the original but
they still pack in the crowds for punk, alternative-rock, country, and more.
Parking can be an issue, so make sure to plan ahead!
Stubb’s BBQ
– This barbecue joint on Red River features a small indoor music stage and a
large outdoor stage. Make sure you make reservations for the popular gospel
brunch!
Moody Theater – Located
on 2nd street. this venue is surrounded by locally owned shops and restaurants. It is
also the home to the taping of ACL Live. Whether you are looking to be next to
the stage, up-close and personal or enjoy the show from the balcony seating, this
venue has amazing acoustics and sound system.

stay at 3207 Brass Buttons Trail, Austin,
TX 78734, USA.
