Texas, and Austin in particular, is a perfect place to be if you love music.  Austin is billed as the Live Music Capital of the World.  That's a little boastful, but there IS good live music here every night...and some afternoons!  We're lucky because we've gotten to know several of the musicians.  They're special people that can't decide whether they live to play or play to live.  Whichever it is, they share their talent with us and we are richer for knowing them.

Check out the pictures, then check out the web sites.  We hope these pages will show you the fun you can have at live music shows and encourage you to attend some of them.  You'll not be disappointed! 

Some of Our Favorite Musicians

We have so many 'favorites' and we 'love' them all, it's hard deciding how best to list them on this page.  Finally, I decided on alphabetical by first name was the 'fairest' way.  After you've taken a look at some of our pictures, visit their websites by following the links on the pages or on our Favorite Links page.

06/21/05 - I want to make sure everyone understands that, while these are some of our favorites, they aren't the only great musicians you can see and hear in Texas.  There are so many, it's impossible to see them all.  Don't wait until you can see these bands to enjoy live music!  If you have a favorite band...with or without pictures...let us know...we'd love to share your experiences along with ours.
