Austin's official motto is the "Live Music Capital of the World." Originally live music venues appeared mostly on [[6th Street (Austin)|6th Street.]] Austin has several other neighborhoods and districts known for live music venues, including the Red River District, the [[University of Texas]], the Warehouse District and Downtown, South Lamar, South Austin, East Austin and the Market District. Every night over one hundred venues stage live music. Austin supports two orchestras: the [[Austin Symphony Orchestra]] and the [[Austin Civic Orchestra]]. == History == A large portion of Austin's early musical heritage began in the German Beer Gardens and Halls in the late 1800s, in places such as Scholz's Garden and Hall (the hall later to become Saengerrunde Hall) and further up the road at Dessau Hall. Dessau Hall peaked in the 1940s and 1950s with acts as diverse as [[Glenn Miller]], [[Hank Williams]], and [[Elvis Presley]]. Other major venues for country music included Big Gil's on South Congress and The Skyline on North Lamar. Local singer/yodeler [[Kenneth Threadgill]] opened Threadgill's in 1933 on North Lamar, a venue that later hosted Folk/Country jams where [[Janis Joplin]] participated in her early days. On the African American East Side of town other music venues such as the [[Victory Grill]], Charlie's Playhouse, Big Mary's, Ernie's Chicken Shack, and Doris Miller Auditorium featured local and touring acts. These destinations, which were part of the "chitlin circuit" featuring big bands, jazz and blues, became famous for later hosting musical legends including [[Duke Ellington]], [[Ray Charles]], [[Bobby Bland]], [[B.B. King]], [[Ike Turner]] and [[Tina Turner]]. In 1964, the Broken Spoke, opened featuring country acts such as [[Bob Wills]], [[Ernest Tubb]], and the young [[Willie Nelson]]. The late-1960s and 1970s saw the [[country music]] popularized by [[Willie Nelson]] and others being joined by a host of other music brought by the more liberal inhabitants, who migrated to Austin during these two decades. Specifically, [[Roky Erickson]] and his 13th Floor Elevators helped bring in this psychedelic era. Austin was home to the [[Vulcan Gas Company]] that featured headliners such as the [[13th Floor Elevators]], ([[Johnny Winter|Johnny]] and [[Edgar Winter|Edgar]]) Winter brothers, and [[Shiva's Headband]]. The Vulcan morphed into the [[Armadillo World Headquarters]] in 1970 and for more than ten years featured music of all genres, from [[Bruce Springsteen]] to [[Bette Midler]], as well as local ballet, blues and jazz. The artwork from this establishment was a part of the Austin scene and the Armadillo became the Austin city animal. Songs such as [[Gary P. Nunn]]'s "London Homesick Blues" (which includes in the chorus "I want to go home with the armadillo") made this a staple of Austin. The artist who began the Armadillo logo was [[Jim Franklin (artist)|Jim Franklin]], who is still working today. [[File:ArmadilloWorldHQ.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Armadillo World Headquarters]] in 1976.]] In the following years, Austin gained a reputation as a place where struggling musicians could launch their careers in front of receptive audiences, at informal live venues. A major influence during this time was [[Clifford Antone]] and the namesake blues club he founded in 1975, at the age of 25. [[Antone's]] located on Austin's 6th Street fostered the careers of a number of musicians, including [[Stevie Ray Vaughan]]. Liberty Lunch was a live-music venue in Austin and during its heyday in the late 1970s and 1980s featured all kinds of music, including reggae and ska, punk, indie, country and rock. The venue was forced to close to make way for Austin's downtown redevelopment rampage in the late 1990s. Since then, Liberty Lunch has attained a legendary status in the history of Austin music. Now-defunct Armadillo World Headquarters has attained a similar status. Austin's live music scene has experienced a resurgence in the past few years after losing some of its best loved venues (Antone's, Liberty Lunch, Armadillo and others), a host of new clubs have risen up to continue Austin's rich live music heritage. Places such as the Skylark Lounge, Stubb's, Ginny's Little Longhorn, and a list of others have become a stalwart of a new generation of live music stages throughout the city. The punk/new wave era in Austin began in earnest in 1978. The Club Foot played an important role in hosting many of the local punk/new wave acts. The city's first two rock/new wave bands, the Skunks and the Violators, made their debut at a University-area club called Raul's in February. The explosive show by the [[Sex Pistols]] in San Antonio the previous month helped build toward an excited reception for local purveyors of the style.<ref>The Austin Chronicle:December 8, 2000</ref> The Skunks' lineup consisted of [[Jesse Sublett]] on bass and vocals, Eddie Munoz on guitar and Bill Blackmon on drums. The Violators featured [[Kathy Valentine]] (later of [[The Go-Go's]]), [[Carla Olson]] (later of the Textones), Marilyn Dean and Sublett on bass. The Violators were short-lived, as all the members except for Sublett moved to LA the following year. Margaret Moser, of the [[Austin Chronicle]], later wrote that "The Skunks put Austin on the rock n' roll map."<ref name="Austin Chronicle">"[http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/MusiciansRegister/BandProfile?oid=oid:547938 Jesse Sublett]." ''[[Austin Chronicle]]''. Retrieved on August 3, 2016.</ref> Another influential band that led the punk scene in Austin was the [[Big Boys]]. Austin became one of the important stops on every tour of important punk/new wave acts. Many of these bands, such as [[the Police]], [[Joe Jackson (musician)|Joe Jackson]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]] and [[Talking Heads]], played at the Armadillo. A number of them, including [[the Clash]], [[Elvis Costello]] and Blondie, would make appearances at gigs by the Skunks and take the opportunity to jam with the band.<ref name="Austin Chronicle"/><ref>"Never the Same Again: A Rock N' Roll Gothic," memoir by Jesse Sublett, published 2004</ref> The 1980s and 1990s also helped shape Austin's music scene. [[Waterloo Records]], which has been voted the best independent record store in the country and hosts live in-store shows, first opened in 1982. Austinite Stevie Ray Vaughan won a Grammy in 1990 for best contemporary blues album. After tragically dying in a helicopter crash, he was memorialized with a statue on the shores of Austin's [[Lady Bird Lake]]. Additionally in 1991,<ref>{{cite news|last=Zeller|first=Tom|title=Don’t Mess With Austin’s Music Moniker|url=http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/11/29/dont-mess-with-austins-music-moniker/|accessdate=9 October 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=November 29, 2006}}</ref> Austin city leaders named Austin, "The Live Music Capital of the World", because of the number of live music venues. Visitors and Austinites alike may notice the 10-foot guitars standing on the sides of the city's streets. In 2006, Gibson Guitar brought Guitar Town to Austin, placing 35 of these giant guitars around the city. The [[Austin Music Foundation]] is one of several Austin groups that help independent artists further their music careers. Assisting musicians with medical needs are the Simms Foundation and Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). Promotion, preservation and education is the mission of the Austin Blues Society, formed in 2006 by Kaz Kazanoff and other blues community notables. Helping to promote the $1 billion music industry in the city is the Austin Music Office. A department of the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Austin Music Office offers creative, personalized assistance in booking live music, discounted Austin Compilation CDs and mini-guides to the city's live music scene, assistance with utilization of live music venues for off-site events, and guidance with local music attractions and creation of music tours.<ref>Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau</ref> == Television == The [[PBS]] live music [[television]] show ''[[Austin City Limits]]'' began in 1974<ref>{{cite web|title=History of ACL|url=http://acltv.com/history-of-acl/|accessdate=9 October 2012}}</ref> and has featured, {{as of|2005|lc=y}}, over 500 artists of various genres, including [[Rock music|rock]], [[folk music|folk]], [[country music|country]], [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]] and [[zydeco]]. Part responsible for Austin's reputation as a live music hub, the show is broadcast worldwide and stands as the longest running music television program ever. On February 26, 2011, ''ACL'' held its first taping in its new purpose-built Moody Theater and studio in downtown Austin's [[W Austin Hotel and Residences]]. Despite a seating capacity of over 2,700, audiences will be limited to around 800 (the original total seating capacity of the old studio). The additional seating capacity will be used for the ''ACL Live'' concert series at the venue. Austin was also home to the Austin Music Network (AMN), which broadcast from 1994 to 2005. AMN, featured on cable channel 15, proclaimed itself to be the only non-profit independent music television channel, and its programming was mostly [[music video]]s or recorded live sessions, interspersed with presenters. Although all musical tastes were broadcast, AMN emphasized non-mainstream music such as [[indie (music)|indie]], [[punk music|punk]], [[blues]], [[country music|country]] and [[jazz]]. Channel 15 was a 24-hour music channel now run by [[Music and Entertainment Television]] (M*E). M*E launched October 1, 2005 and was broadcast to Austin and the 44 surrounding cities. M*E was a regional network dedicated to showcasing and providing television exposure for regional artists as well as the hundreds of touring groups that make up the vibrant Texas live music scene. Supporting established artists and promoting and discovering new talent is a priority. M*E represented different musical genres and areas of the arts community with numerous original programs highlighting everything from filmmakers to art galleries, and musicians to the ballet. In addition, M*E's mostly music line-up, spotlighted live performance footage, concept music videos as well as biographies, reviews, restaurant tours and more.<ref>Music and Entertainment Television</ref> ==Musical styles== {{expand section|date=August 2016}} Austin's most well-known styles are varieties of [[country music]]. In the 1970s the "progressive country" and "cosmic cowboy" movements were established.<ref name=Gatchetp211>Gatchet, p. 211.</ref> There is also a history of [[Blues music]],<ref name=Gatchetp211/> which developed by the 1950s in the "Negro district" of [[East Austin]]; it was one of several places on the "[[Chitlin’ Circuit]]".<ref name=Gatchetp211212>Gatchet, p. 211-212.</ref> One of the earliest venues which used desegregation was Charlie’s Playhouse in East Austin, and further desegregation occurred there as time passed.<ref name=Gatchetp213>Gatchet, p. 213.</ref> Barry Shank, a cultural scholar, stated that the white and black Blue's scenes in Austin remained distinct but that the black one influenced the white one. By 2012 the blues culture became racially integrated, spread outwards from East Austin, and decreased in size.<ref name=Gatchetp214>Gatchet, p. 214.</ref> == Festivals == [[File:ACL-2004.jpg|right|thumb|[[Austin City Limits Music Festival]] with view of stages and the [[Austin, Texas|Austin]] skyline.]] Austin is the home of [[South by Southwest Festival|South by Southwest]] (SXSW), an annual film, music and interactive conference and festival, and the expanding number of fringe events that take place during the festival, at venues all over town. In the fall, Austin hosts the [[Austin City Limits Music Festival]] (ACL) and the [[Fun Fun Fun Fest]]. In the spring, the long-running [[Old Settler's Music Festival]] takes place at the Salt Lick Pavilion & Camp Ben McCulloch just outside the city. Every summer, local businesses put on a series of free blues shows in [[Zilker Park]] entitled "Blues on the Green." Numerous other music festivals occur year-round.
