Antone's Nightclub

Clifford Antone opened the first version of his global brand in 1975, and after several relocations, Austin’s Home of the Blues found a new lease on life in 2016 behind local luminaries including Gary Clark Jr. The new 400-capacity room still houses blues legends and nurtures emerging talents, and the upstairs gallery holds another 300 for special events. Archival photography from Susan Antone and others testifies to the club’s indelible history, which keeps alive traditions like Blue Monday jams – thriving with regular appearances from Soul Man Sam Evans and Lindsay Beaver playing alongside Brad Stivers.
