About Austin Nightlife

Austin is a bastion of live music. On any given night, you can catch anything from blues to indie to country to post punk to jazz – virtually every nightspot hosts live music at least occasionally. There's an array of awesome local musicians, many of whom are popular around the country (Shawn Colvin, Joe Ely, Spoon, Asleep at the Wheel, Terri Hendrix and Nanci Griffith to name just a few). You can stroll down Sixth Street and just pick something that sounds interesting, but some of the best venues are Antone's, Broken Spoke, The Parish, Stubb's, Emo's, La Zona Rosa, and Continental Club. If dancing is more your thing, Austin won't disappoint – big-city style dance clubs are well established and packed on the weekends.
