| ONGOING |
Texas Legends of Rock, Pop and Soul
Presented by the Texas Music Museum
Now - Nov 1
The story of the Rock, Pop and Soul music of Texas is a microcosm of the history of these three musical genres, and important contributions to the colorful kaleidoscope of the broad range of Texas music. Many of the Texas artists who began careers in previous decades continue to shape the sound of music into the 21st century. The exhibit is presented in the Main Gallery and Hall Gallery, and consists of displays which include artists’ biographies, photographs and recordings. Display cases contain a broad range of artifacts including original sheet music and original recordings including cylinders, diamond discs, 78 rpm disks, 45s, LPS, cassettes, 8 tracks, and CDs recorded by artists in the exhibit.

The Marshall Tucker Band comes through Austin this weekend!
The band, originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, blended rock, rhythm & blues, jazz, country, and gospel to help establish the Southern rock genre in the early 1970s.
Catch them at One World Theatre on Sunday, June 11 during one of their two performances that night! Early show at 6pm, late show at 8:30pm. Tickets range from $35-108.
As we move into June and the new season sets in, we want to take a second for one of our favorite recordings from Janis Joplin – her hit blues/jazz rendition of “Summertime.”
Joplin, a Port Arthur, TX native, was far from the first to record the song, but her cover has become iconic. George Gershwin composed it originally in 1935 for an opera titled “Porgy and Bess” and since then, more than 25,000 artists have recorded their own versions.
This Memorial Day, sit back and take a minute to appreciate those moments when the weather is warm and the livin’ is easy.
Here at the Texas Music Museum we’ve spent thousands of hours culling the archives of our state’s great musical history. We’ve researched, interviewed, photographed, and documented the musicians - some famous, some not - who’ve left their mark along the path of Texan sound and culture.
There is so much to learn when you visit the Texas Music Museum - but we’d like to share some of it with you here too. Let’s start by talking about one of Austin’s contemporary favorite sons: Gary Clark Jr.
Called “The Chosen One” by his fans, Gary Clark Jr. was born in Austin, TX in 1984. He began performing at age 12, and before long Clifford Antone had him playing live alongside legends at Antone’s historic music club.
Clark’s first major label release, 2012’s “Blak and Blu,” catapulted him to a new league. He shared the stage with guitar greats Eric Clapton, BB King, and Keith Richards. He’s performed on albums with Alicia Keys and the Foo Fighters. All the while, cementing his reputation as a musician with technical and creative prowess.
Known for his bluesy, distorted guitar playing and soulful vocals, Clark’s music infuses hip hop elements and old-school writing styles. His most recent release, 2015’s “The Story of Sonny Boy Slim,” gave fans an evolved take on the music style they already loved.
Gary Clark Jr. will be touring through the summer and headlining festivals along the way. Keep an eye out for his next announced Austin date!
Check out the video for Clark performing his single “Bright Lights” at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in the comment section below.
