Lost Austin Band at the Saxon Pub, Austin

Country Live Music Concert

What’s Happening?

“Progressive country is a term used variously to describe a movement, radio format or subgenre of country music which developed in the early 1970s as a reaction against the slick, pop-oriented Nashville sound. Progressive country artists drew from classic honky-tonk country and rock and roll, as well as folk, bluegrass, blues and Southern rock and include Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt and many more. It influenced subsequent subgenres like outlaw country, Americana, and alternative country, paving the way for artists who continue to explore new sonic landscapes within the country music framework.

"The movement's focus on songwriting, authenticity, and social commentary continues to resonate with artists and audiences today.”   WIKIPEDIA +

It’s the “music that made Austin, ‘Austin.’”

Be there!
