Austin 's Hole in the Wall celebrates 50 years as a music scene staple, June 15, 2024 sits just across the street from the building on the University of Texas at Austin campus where the Austin City Limits show was taped for decades and where the KUTX radio still broadcasts.

Even through some of Austin’s turbulent cultural storms, the Hole in the Wall has remained the Austin music scene’s go-to club for generations of beginner bands, established touring acts, and famous rock stars to throw back a few and have a laugh with the locals. Local success stories include Spoon, The Gourds, Shakey Graves, Timbuk 3, Bob Schneider, Fastball, Black Joe Lewis & Gary Clark Jr that have all gone on to wider acclaim after performing on the cozy stage in the front window of the Hole. More recently, touring acts like Old 97s, Mother Hips, John Doe and Jonathan Richman have graced the larger, more professionally equipped stage in the middle of the venue.

The club promises if you stop by on any given afternoon, before you’re one drink in, you’ll be sure to easily find someone who will entertain you with a mind-blowing musical story, even after 50 years.
