What if I told you that for free, you could share the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Johnny Cash, and Dave Matthews? You'd probably assume you were the winner of some contest you didn't realize you'd entered. Well...you can't actually get on stage WITH them, but you can see where they (and hundreds of other world-renowned artists) recorded at the iconic Austin City Limits studio. The award winning music series enters into it's 35th season this year and is at the very heart of the "Live music capital of the world."
The best part is you can see it all for free! Every Friday at 10:30 a.m., tours are given that show you everything from backstage and production to the infamous mock skyline that make this show so great. There are also great stories of the performers and performances.
You'll need to hurry and do it though as the studio will be moving from KLRU Studios, it's famous set located inside the College of Communications on the University of Texas campus. In February 2011, the set will officially move to it's new location inside the luxurious W Hotel near 2nd Street downtown.
Don't miss your chance to see a piece of Austin, live music history! Both the show and the studio were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, go see what it's all about.
