Participants can expect dynamic performances, intimate acoustic sets, special guests, great food & drinks, and a celebration of musical diversity in one of the most iconic music cities in the U.S.The 2024 lineup features a mix of emerging and established local musicians, and blends the raw energy of rock with the storytelling essence of folk, creating a powerful fusion that resonates with Austin’s vibrant music scene.
