well my friends since we live in the live music capitol of the world, I thought a thread about local live music would be fun. I go see live music almost daily. I love to see local talent, dance and socialize with other Austin folks. I was curious and wonder what local bands do you enjoy? what bars do you like to see bands at? I am not much of a giant music festival fan any more but the giant festivals sure do bring a lot of people out. Do you do sxsw or ACL but not local bands in dive bars? how do u enjoy your live music and where do you see it?
This is my sort of music festival today at Bullock, ( do not laugh, I am serious and into it!!)
it is the statewide young person's accordion contest, super fun and diverse with polkas, conjunto, zydeco
