You’re here for: a blues tune that will touch your soul.
Just off of MLK, an area that has long been known as a Blues hub of Austin, you can check out the Skylark Lounge, a popular spot for blues, soul, and more. You can hear music five nights a week, cover is typically $10, and there’s really no reason to leave with a full bar, kitchen, and outdoor space as well.
This gem of a joint is a little hidden, but that only adds to its authentic appeal. Make the journey to Skylark in East Austin, and you’ll find soul, jazz, blues, R&B, and more playing on its intimate stage. The crowd is passionate, there’s free popcorn to chomp on, and the vibe is relaxed. If you come on a popular night, however, you might have some trouble finding parking. Check out the weekly showcase, Soul Sunday with Soul Man Sam, for a true Austin experience far removed from the questionable sounds of Dirty Sixth—you’ll quickly find yourself amongst the regulars who show up time-and-time again to take in the impeccable renditions of soul and blues standards.
