Founded in 1975 by the late Clifford Antone, the iconic Antone’s Nightclub became Austin’s “Home of the Blues,” showcasing some of the greatest Blues legends, as well as putting the spotlight on local up-and-coming artists just getting their start. Through locale changes, incredible performances, and a few challenges along the way, it remains a longtime favorite of thousands of music lovers worldwide.
