Once known mostly for its country and blues music, today Austin's music scene is as diverse as its ever-growing population. The city is a cradle of musical talent, nurturing everyone from the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and Janis Joplin, and is currently serving home to such music legends as Willie Nelson and The Dixie Chicks.
Utilize the following resources for planning a music-filled itinerary. Pick up a copy of the Austin Chronicle or the Austin American-Statesman's Xlent. Published weekly and distributed on Thursdays throughout the city, the publications offer entertainment options for music, art, dining and film.
