Over the past 50 years, Antone's Nightclub in Austin has become a crucial nexus for Texan musicians and a Mecca for anyone who cares about the blues. Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Little Milton, Ray Charles, and Stevie Ray Vaughan can be counted among the vast Who's Who of great bluesmen who frequented the club. Antone's developed a strong enough reputation that those who became contemporary regulars would grow to be known as members of the Antone's All-Stars. In celebration of Antone's Golden anniversary, there will be a once-in-a-lifetime extravaganza performance exposing the rich history of Texan blues and soul music. Featured performers include: Texas icon Jimmie Vaughan, 2025 GRAMMY Nominee Sue Foley, C.J. Chenier (Crown Prince of Zydeco), Benny Turner (Freddie King Band), Swamp Pop Legend Jivin' Gene (Jin Records), Big Bill Morganfield (son of Muddy Waters, co-star of A Complete Unknown), Kam Franklin of The Suffers, John Primer (Muddy Waters Blues Band), Steve Bell (son of Carey Bell), Lurrie Bell (Koko Taylor's Blues Machine), Rodd Bland (Bobby "Blue" Bland Orchestra), Lil' Ed Williams (Alligator Records), Antone's Horns, and surprise guests. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.
