Live Blues in Austin
We will be in Austin in the first days of January.

Can someone recommend us some good clubs with live blues music there?

I have heard good things about Antone's, but we would like to know some more options. (We will stay in a downtown hotel.)

Thank you.

The main music location is on Congress street, I believe. It's just door after door of music venues - depends on whose in town and playing!

We loved the Continental Club on South Congress. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, heard a great band and had fun watching the terrific swing dancers. Oh, and there's no cover on Saturday afternoon.

PS here's the website and I believe you can hear some of the music.

Thank you, sheri and goddess!

The Continental Club looks good.

Any more?

Check who's playing where at austin360.com

There aren't that many "blues bars" but there are lots of "blues bands" that play all over town.
