The Backyard

An Austin tradition, the Backyard first opened its door in 1993. With such legendary alumni as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Paul Simon, The Allman Brothers, and Willie Nelson, the Backyard is known across the country for great music performances in a personal, yet beautiful setting and renowned natural environment.

Building on this legend, The Backyard is back for its second season. A natural, open aired venue located in the Heart of the Texas Hill Country, this one-of-a-kind venue will play host to music as varied as the people of Austin. Carrying on the tradition of the legendary Backyard, this venue creates a natural, comfortable, and unique environment for artists and fans. The Backyard has taken into consideration the rapid changes to the environment around us, and has pledged to the green initiative. Using cutting edge techniques to help sustain the environment which it is set upon, the Backyard serves as a monument to the nation on the necessity of green practices and sets an example for how music can help to create an atmosphere of change and success.
