Christmas is over and we’re a few days away from a brand new year. It’s been a wonderful 365 days of live, local music, all culminating in one epic weekend. To finish off the year, we recommend a soul-filled Friday set, a pair of thought-provoking singer/songwriters, and the best NYE party in Austin. Happy New Year, music lovers! [Read more…]

2017 is almost over, guys! This year flew by in a heartbeat. Austin has inducted many new Austinites, welcomed new establishments, and said goodbye to some loved ones. With 2018 quickly approaching, we think it’s only fair to say so long to 2017 in style. Oh, and it gets better. What we have in mind is not only awesome, but also free to do!

New Year’s Eve is a night of grand expectations, especially for those of us who have been swept off our feet by movies like When Harry Met Sally. Hollywood makes perfect the one night a year when we ceremoniously bid the past 365 days adieu. NYE should be dedicated to sending off the old year and ringing in the new surrounded by good friends, a curated flow of danceable music and, of course, champagne fountains.
Well, maybe that’s just my fantasy as crafted by the clever mind of Nora Ephron, may she rest in peace. Maybe your perfect New Year’s Eve involves a ball drop, delicious meal or crazy costumes. No matter how you like it, this night of nights has a way of becoming more complicated than it should be.
The perfect New Year’s Eve takes planning, but thankfully we live in a city that provides something exciting to do for everyone. I’ve put together a list to get you started.
