There are so many great places to visit, but Austin, Texas, is by far one of our favorite.

HOUSTON Not only is Austin the capital of Texas, but is also dubbed the live music capital of the world. In Austin, it seems almost any space can be filled with music. Not only does the live music capital host thousands of concerts throughout the year, but the city is also home to festivals including Austin City Limits and SXSW Music Festival. Multiple reports offer the simple explanation that Austin was dubbed the live music capital for having more live music venues per capita than anywhere else in the United States, but heres the slogans real origin:According to Austins NPR Station, KUT 90.5, the earliest use of Live Music Capital of the World is found in an advertisement placed by the Austin Chamber of Commerce in the July 1985 issue of Billboard magazine. According to Lord, the idea for the slogan came when someone in the group said I wonder how many places we can go see live music on a Monday night?After taking a look at the concert listings in two Austin newspapers, the group tallied up more than 70 places and decided together that Austin is in fact the live music capital of the world.
