Antone’s is a legendary blues club that has been in Austin for more than 50 years. But running a live music venue isn’t easy. To ensure it stays around for another 50 years, Antone’s is working with the Austin Cultural Trust to build a Museum of the Blues on its second floor, providing them with a vital additional source of income.

This is just one of the many ways that Austinites are getting creative and figuring out how to preserve our city’s live music culture, even as everything gets more expensive. Watch the video below to learn more how that has worked for Antone’s and be sure to keep following along with our Living Eulogies series for more ideas about how Austin can better preserve our city’s small business and creative community.
