H-E-B’s ‘True Texas Tunes’ Series Supports Austin Musicians in Need - Reform Austin
(www.reformaustin.org)
Engagement with the local artists like this is desperately needed. I personally know talented people who had to leave Austin’s art scene due to rising housing costs, and I suspect live music is suffering as well. According to them, the largest gathering of artists don’t happen in high cost of living cities. So in my opinion, if Austin wants to maintain the image of “the live musical capital of the world” it needs to step up for all artists.
