Austin 360
It’s a mantra that’s been passed from musicians and venue owners to mayors and senators over the course of the coronavirus pandemic: Live music venues were among the first to close and will be among the last to reopen. So, 13 months in, just where are we in that re-emergence?
Many of Austin’s top music destinations remain shuttered for now: iconic South Austin haunts the Continental Club and Saxon Pub, to Red River anchors the Mohawk and Cheer Up Charlies, to Congress Avenue jazz joint the Elephant Room, to University of Texas campus haven Cactus Cafe. Larger rooms such as ACL Live and the Paramount Theatre recently began presenting a handful of limited-capacity shows.
I guess it s true that that we are all Irish on St. Patrick s Day, and who doesn t like green beer. It s such a fun day. I used to love going to Downtown Chicago, have a few cold ones, and see the Chicago river, which the City dyes green every year. We all have our traditions on this fun holiday.
Things of course are different this year, just like the last 12 months. Nothing has been normal these days. A few years ago, folks would be up and down the sidewalks in East Lansing on Saint Patrick s Day, basically doing something I would never do, and that is waiting in line to get into a bar. There are too many of them to be wasting my time like that. But I guess when you younger you don t mind as much.
