Art and Culture Guide Central Texas Performing Arts There’S a Reason Why Austin Is Known As “The Live Music Capital of the World” Art and Culture Guide Central Texas Performing Arts There’s a reason why Austin is known as “The Live Music Capital of the World”. Austin’s live music scene began blossoming in the early 1970s and continues growing today. With dozens of great live music events to choose from every night, there is never a dull moment. If you want to change things up, enjoy the many dance and theatrical performances around town, or sit back and let local and visiting comedians point out the finer points of life.

    1 IS AUSTIN STILL AUSTIN? A CULTURAL ANALYSIS THROUGH SOUND John Stevens (TC 660H or TC 359T) Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 13, 2020 __________________________________________ Thomas Palaima Department of Classics Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Richard Brennes Athletics Second Reader 2 Abstract Author: John Stevens Title: Is Austin Still Austin? A Cultural Analysis Through Sound Supervisors: Thomas Palaima, Ph. D and Richard Brennes For the second half of the 20th century, Austin, Texas was defined by its culture and unique personality. The traits that defined the city ushered in a progressive community that was seldom found in the South. In the 1960s, much of the new and young demographic chose music as the medium to share ideas and find community. The following decades saw Austin become a mecca for live music. Austin’s changing culture became defined by the music heard in the plethora of music venues that graced the city streets. As the city recruited technology companies and developed its downtown, live music suffered. People from all over the world have moved to Austin, in part because of the unique culture and live music. The mass-migration these individuals took part in led to the downfall of the music industry in Austin. This thesis will explore the rise of music in Austin, its direct ties with culture, and the eventual loss of culture. I aim for the reader to finish this thesis and think about what direction we want the city to go in. 3 Acknowledgments Thank you to my advisor Professor Thomas Palaima and second-reader Richard Brennes for the support and valuable contributions to my research.

As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the MSA ranks No. 35 out of the top 50 largest MSAs in the nation. The MSA includes five counties: Williamson, Travis, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell. Austin is the largest city in the region, the Travis County seat and capitol of Texas.1 Map 1: Location Austin is renowned for its attractiveness to young professionals seeking both cutting‐edge employment and a high quality of life. The Austin area is similar to Hillsborough County in terms of its population growth and demographic characteristics, its proximity to major universities, as well as its humid, subtropical climate; however, the Austin area was selected as a case study more for its differences. 1 Note: City of Austin is home to the Texas State Capitol, which employs approximately 150,000 employs statewide, although the majority work in the Central Texas region (Source: Texas State Auditor’s Office, Summary of the Texas State Workforce, FY 2006). 1 of 15 September 7, 2011 Uniquely, Austin area has capitalized on a quality of life ethos coupled with an economic development framework focused on attracting “location‐less” (e.g.

INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.
