And I love how we fight to keep the heartbeat of this city playing loudly in this new cocktail of today.
We lift thousands of pounds of amps, guitars, keyboards, drums and sweat into clubs. But we are not martyrs. We are musicians and we love it! And it's up to the noisemakers to keep it alive. It's up to the city to give us fair tools. It's up to the old-timers to keep supporting. And to those who have moved here from some far off land, we thank you for adding to our Austin fabric and it is with you that we will continue to bring you Austin. When you choose to step outside of your what-you-know, the new glass boxes and come out to listen, we are a city of newly born songs. Get into the down-home backbone of what mysteriously brought you to this city in the first place, even if you didn't know it, it was the live music.
