What are three of the best ways for groups to experience Austin’s diverse music scene?
- Bring the music to your guests: Country and western, rockabilly, western swing, rock ’n’ roll, blues. Just like the city itself, Austin’s live music scene cannot be categorized, as there are just too many genres to choose from. In order to give your guests a true Austin music experience, why not bring it to them? Host your own Austin City Limits right in your hotel ballroom and introduce a tune to complement each course served. From appetizers to dessert, tease your group’s taste buds with a different tempo.
- Produce a private show: With a live music venue practically around every corner, the task of finding just the right one can be daunting. Instead, hire a destination management company to help you navigate your way through the local music scene and find the perfect spot for your group. Does your group want to boogie down or wait in the wings? A professional can help you find both the right music as well as the ideal venue that perfectly suits your guests’ needs, and handle the details of a custom theme, catering and decor for your private event.
- Consider a live music crawl: When it comes to Austin, all you have to say is, “Continental Club” or “Antone’s” and we Austinites know you mean business. A great way to crawl your way through the live music scene would be to start at The Belmont and sip on killer cocktails while enjoying live music. Next, head on over to 2nd Street for more melodies and a meal at Lamberts Downtown Barbecue, suited to give your guests a helping of first-rate live music with some upscale barbecue. The perfect ending to your live music experience will be to end up at Continental Club, Antone’s or Cedar Street.
