The Music Scene: From Headbanging to Honky-Tonkin'
Austin's musical soul is as diverse as its food trucks. Want to unleash your inner rockstar? Shred some air guitar at an outdoor concert (because who needs sweat-drenched mosh pits when you have the Texas sun, amirite?). Feeling fancy? The Moody Theater might have a swanky jazz performance that'll have you channeling your inner Gatsby.
Pro-Tip: Don't forget to check out Sixth Street – it's like musical Disneyland for adults (complete with bachelorette parties, but hey, that's just part of the Austin charm).
