Austin, 'The Live Music Capital of the World' 🎸
Besides being the state capital of Texas, Austin is also the hub for creative culture in the state. It's home to the University of Texas at Austin, and it's as well-known for live music as it is for Tex-Mex cuisine. South by Southwest (also known as SXSW) and Austin City Limits (ACL) music festivals take over the city each spring and fall.
