As an Austin Music Award Winner and native, I’ll take you behind the scenes of the real Austin LIVE Music underground. Austin has hundreds of clubs, but where’s the REAL Austin music scene? I’ll take you there personally. We will visit several original Austin venues, sometimes even rubbing shoulders and chatting with artists I know personally, and I may even sit in to play a song or two if they twist my arm. I'll also be your photographer taking professional pictures & selfies along the way so you can focus on experience while still having the photos to recall the magical night. 1) A Nature Rendezvous: The evening starts with a rendezvous at a secret gorgeous nature spot downtown. I'll play a little violin serenade and you can bring a picnic if you like, I'll have blankets and yoga mats 2) Austin LIVE Underground: We'll visit at least 2 of the best Austin music venues chosen by poling the group's preferences.
