David and Evan were great! Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Would recommend for an evening of a variety of music in a clean, cool and smooth ride. :-)
We had a blast on our pub crawl with David in Austin . He was a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide and the clubs each priovided a different experience. We went to a honky tonk where we saw some great singing, dancing and fiddle playing, an upstairs blues club where we saw a fantastic guitarist with a soulful bluesy style and a funky R&B club with a great singer and band. Our group had a fun time together and our driver Luke was awesome and personable. We loved our pub crawl and would definitely recommend it.
I’m glad we did the Austin Live Music Crawl. Getting the inside scoop on good places to go is worth the price of admission, especially if you want to get the most out of your visit by skipping potential duds. Easy way to get out of your comfort zone a little too.
Our group had never been on a music crawl and didn’t know what to expect. We all had a great time and agreed it was an interesting way to get introduced to Austin music history and experience where the locals go to listen to different genres. Early on in the evening a man, mounted on his horse, literally entered the club to listen to a live performance—weird and unforgettable! It was a good variety of music and length of the tour was great too. Jax is VERY knowledgeable and an exceptional Guide and David was very attentive and an awesome driver!
Amazing live Austin music crawl! Jax is incredibly knowledgeable about the local music scene and made our group feel welcome immediately. Our crawl included an awesome, uplifting mix of 70s country rock/psychedelic, a lively two-stepping honky-tonk, and a unique indie band. Keep Austin Weird— Jim and Kim
This was a great tour! I got so much more out of it than I would have checking out venues on my own. Jax was super knowledgeable and the music was fantastic.
Really cool tour of the iconic ACL facility. It was interesting and fun to learn about and see behind the scenes of the history of ACL. I would definitely recommend if you are visiting the Austin area.
Loved all three clubs. Went to places we would not have known and learned so much of the music scene in Austin
There are so many music venues in Austin, how do you choose as a first timer? You take the Live Music Crawl with David! We met at the very cool Driskell Hotel, and experienced three music genres and venues. Stop 1 we sat outside and got to listen to some blues on a beautiful evening. Next, was a true honkey tonk two steppin' our way through some country and finally ended on Congress for some fabulous R&B. David and the bus driver (sorry, can't remember his name) were so personable and knowledgable. Highly recommend this tour with them!
Great way to see a very good selection of Austin’s music venues. Dave was a great host and made us feel very informed about each stop!
