Is Austin Really a Blues City?

Listen for free

View show details

Decades ago, Stevie Ray Vaughan brought the Texas Blues to town — but since then, Austin has birthed a well-known blues festival and kept the Austin Home of the Blues, Antone’s Nightclub, in business. And, thanks to a 50-year lease, Antone’s won’t be moving out anytime soon. So, where do the blues fit into Austin’s status as the “Live Music Capital of the World”? Executive Producer Eva Ruth Moravec sits down with Austin’s longtime icon, “Soul Man Sam” Evans, to hear about how we got here; and later is joined by relative newcomer D.K. Harrell to talk about the future of blues in Austin. Catch both musicians’ live sets this weekend at the Austin Blues Festival. Want some more Austin news?
