A trip to Texas is far from complete without experiencing the deeply influential and historic music scene. Catching a live performance in one of the New Braunfels dive bars or legendary music clubs is not only extremely entertaining but is also a glimpse into the past; to a sound and a place that changed so much of what modern music is. Take a walk down the road and let your ears be your guide. When you inevitably hear the high-pitched twang of a guitar or the low rumble of a worn voice, follow it and take a step inside. Witness what makes Texas unique while staying at one of the beautiful New Braunfels rentals provided by New Braunfels Escapes.
Gruene Hall
Easily one of the most storied and respected venues in Texas – and all of the country, for that matter – is Gruene Hall. This New Braunfels establishment opened its doors as a dance hall and community event center in 1878 and has been letting the good times roll ever since. Not much has changed aesthetically since that time either. Get a ticket to one of the near-daily shows and find yourself transported to an earlier time, surrounded by the original bar and advertisements from the 1930s and 40s. With an impressive roster of famous artists who have performed within these walls including Willie Nelson, George Strait, B.B. King, and Little Richard, New Braunfels and Gruene Hall have played host to an irrefutable part of music history.
Whitewater Amphitheater
Equally entertaining and distinctly ‘Texas’ is catching a show at the Whitewater Music Amphitheater. Located just minutes from the luxurious New Braunfels rentals that you can vacation to, this scenic venue offers the best live music incredibly close to home. Having featured artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Bob Dylan, Skrillex, ZZ Top, and many top country music stars, Whitewater Amphitheater delivers for fans of any genre. Situated mere feet from the Guadalupe River, what this venue lacks in history it makes up for in sheer beauty. The natural topography of the location allows for the best views and great acoustics from any spot.
Music at the Bar
If you find yourself craving some Texas tunage but are looking to avoid the hassle of the large crowd, there are plenty of local watering holes that regularly stage some of the best New Braunfels talent. Catch one of the many up-and-coming Texas bands on both the indoor and outdoor stage at Tavern in the Gruene, or hit up the Pour Haus Patio Bar for live music seven days a week. With so many great local live music venues you are bound to get your fair share of the exciting Texas scene.
