• Austin Music History Tour

American Musical History Tour: 1880s to Present Day

Discover Austin’s musical heritage and what makes us the Live Music Capital of the World. Austin’s live music tradition is unrivaled just about anywhere on earth, and our Musical History of Austin tour uncovers the history behind the hype. We’ll weave around town visiting key heritage neighborhoods and musical sites, starting at 6th Street, the epicenter of today’s nightlife scene, and then going back in time to where it all started in the 1800s at Scholtz Biergarten. We’ll trace our steps through via historic Victory Grill, the Armadillo World Headquarters, Saxon Pub, and the Moody Theater, home to ALC Live. Hear about Austin legends such as Willie Nelson, Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and modern-day local celebrities such as Bob Schneider, Malford Milligan, and Guy Forsyth.

People Love our Corporate Experiences!

We had the best time on our Austin by Night tour. We did this as part of our company offsite and could not have been happier with the experience. Trace was a fantastic guide–so fun, so informative, and just a pleasure to be around. The locations chosen for BBQ, brewery and live music were exceptional and made us feel like we got a taste of real Austin, not just tourist destinations. Many thanks for the full team for a phenomenal time. Highly recommend!

Perfect for Corporate Events

We did a scavenger hunt for our corporate event and it was a great way to experience Austin with a large group! They were great to work with during the planning of our corporate event and the scavenger hunt went seamlessly!
