Great experience!

5.00Dave Hatley was our guide and he obviously loves what he does - he’s an enthusiastic and knowledgeable music lover. We went to the Saxon Club where seats were reserved and we could sit and enjoy the band. The Broken Spoke was interesting but already crowded when we arrived so it was difficult to find a place to really enjoy the music. Radio East was lovely - don’t know the name or style of music (Colombian) but it was fun and very upbeat.

The Perfect Introduction to Austin's Live Music Scene!

5.00What a fantastic way to dive into Austin’s music scene! Our small group rode comfortably in a Mercedes van while our guide, Trace, and driver, Kelty, shared great stories and insights about the city’s musical history. We visited three iconic venues—The White Horse, Donn’s Depot, and The Continental—each with its own distinct vibe and sound. As new Austin residents with visiting guests, we especially appreciated having a designated driver so we could relax and enjoy the night without worrying about driving and parking. The pace was just right, and we had so much fun dancing, listening to great music, and soaking in the atmosphere. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking for an easy, memorable night out!
A Blast in Austin!

5.00My husband really enjoyed this tour. The music venues we visited were amazing and definitely not ones we would have found ourselves. Trace and Dave our guide and driver were fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00We wanted to hear live music in Austin but had no idea where to go. This tour was the answer. We were picked up in a comfortable van at a major downtown hotel and driven by a very competent driver to three venues. Both the driver and the guide were very knowledgeable about music and were able to answer the many questions we had about the various Texas musicians we like. All three venues were well chosen with different music styles. I would highly recommend this tour. It was my favorite evening of the two weeks I spent in Texas!
