Austin Texas, The Music Capital of the World
Austin, Texas is not only the state capital but it is also an incredibly beautiful and even world famous city. The international recognition and respect is largely due to its self proclaimed, though rarely argued, status as the music capital of the world. And it certainly deserves this title and has numerous famous music festivals throughout the year as well as a large number of live music venues and night clubs. It is the frequent destination for many young musicians and new bands that are trying to forge out a career in the music business. And of course, and perhaps most famous of all, it is the home of the PBS television show Austin City Limits.
There is also a festival called Austin City Limits , which takes its name from, but is not directly related to the television show. The festival has become one of the city’s largest music events and occurs in the early fall each year. It takes place over three days and features some of the top bands and musicians as well as those who are at early stages in their careers and just starting to make a name for themselves. There is live music throughout the day and night and this is just one of the great draws for the guests in Austin luxury hotels and it is also a popular attraction for the city’s residents. In addition to all of the musical venues and opportunities for exposure, the residents of Austin are extremely supportive of the music scene.
Austin City Limits , the television show is frequently considered to be a career goal for musicians. Once they have played for that show they feel they have actually arrived on the national music scene. And this is a correct assessment. The show used to be exclusively oriented toward highlighting local and regional musicians and only presented bands and individuals from Texas. However, as it continued to grow and receive wider audience bases, it also expanded its invitation list and now includes performers from all across the country and beyond. It is the longest running music based television series in American television history.
