Learn About Austin’s Music History!

I’ve been doing tours for over 8 years, and one of my favorite parts is watching Austin’s music history click into place for people. This is not a lecture from a clipboard. It is a moving story about the rooms, players, wild ideas, and nights that helped turn this town into a music city.

The route rolls from the Armadillo World Headquarters era into Stevie Ray Vaughan, Austin City Limits, and the characters and venues that gave Austin its strange, stubborn, beautiful sound. Come ready for great stories, local color, a little humor, and the kind of behind-the-scenes details that make the next song you hear in Austin land a little differently. You will leave with more names to look up, more places to notice, and a better feel for why this city still sounds like nowhere else.
