In Austin, we pride ourselves in having live music in unexpected places - grocery stores, hike and bike trails, our airport and now the NEW Austin Visitor Center.

Local & Live Summer Music Series at the Austin Visitor Center

This month's Austin Music Residency features a series of local artists playing every other Friday afternoon. Kicked off by the lovely Elizabeth McQueen Trio on June 6, this new set of afternoon shows, Local & Live,will take place every other Friday from 4 p.m. 6 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Each performance will provide the audience with a more intimate experience with the artists, who will usually be playing solo or acoustic sets.

If you didn't make it earlier this month, be sure to stop by our new location downtown at 602 E. 4th Street to hear some excellent Austin sounds. Here's a taste of our upcoming schedule:
