The city of Austin, Texas offers several programs to assist musicians and to promote their music in a variety of genres, from country to blues.
Whether you are just arriving in Austin, Texas for the first time or you are a local coming home, you will be greeted at the airport with live music at three different airport venues. The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is just the first reminder that you’ve entered the “Live Music Capital” of Austin, TX.
The Plaza at the Austin City Hall puts on a music showcase with different scopes that highlight different musicians and their music. Free concerts are given between April and October at The Plaza, making the music series “Live From The Plaza” one of the more popular music venues around.

Many private organizations have emerged as a result of the hot music scene in Austin, TX. The city’s famous Sixth Street is the heart of the live music scene, with more than 50 nightclubs, restaurants, bistros and dance clubs showcasing the latest musicians in a variety of music styles.
