Tonight, Austin City Limits hosts a very special taping at ACL Live at The Moody Theater, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Antone’s – the legendary Austin nightclub that “helped put the live music capital of the world on the map” (Austin American Statesman).

Antone’s – Austin’s legendary “Home Of The Blues” – has announced a four-LP, 41-track box set celebrating its 50th anniversary, packed with the rich history and enduring spirit of a club that “helped put the live music capital of the world on the map” (Austin American Statesman). Set for release on August 22 via New West Records, Antone’s: 50 Years of the Blues, chronicles the development of Antone’s and its trailblazing music across three full-length albums (each capturing a unique element of the club’s history) and a special bonus 45.

Antone’s co-owner Gary Clark Jr. and Texas blues icon Jimmie Vaughan are among a group of illustrious musicians who will unite as the ‘Antone’s 50th Allstars’ at Austin Blues Fest next month; taking place April 26 and 27 in the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park.
