Great evening with guides Jax and Joe!

Loved all three clubs. Went to places we would not have known and learned so much of the music scene in Austin

Live Music, Local Vibes, and a Fantastic Guide

There are so many music venues in Austin, how do you choose as a first timer? You take the Live Music Crawl with David! We met at the very cool Driskell Hotel, and experienced three music genres and venues. Stop 1 we sat outside and got to listen to some blues on a beautiful evening. Next, was a true honkey tonk two steppin' our way through some country and finally ended on Congress for some fabulous R&B. David and the bus driver (sorry, can't remember his name) were so personable and knowledgable. Highly recommend this tour with them!
