In the heart of the "Live Music Capital of the World," Brit Street Records is on a mission to revive Austin's local music scene, which has seen better days. Once bustling venues have quieted down since COVID-19, with audiences dwindling, especially for emerging local bands. Recalling the vibrant '90s, when iconic local bands like Pushmonkey and Vallejo packed the clubs, Brit Street aims to recapture that spirit.
Our strategy is straightforward: create dynamic showcases and festivals, such as the South Austin Summer Fest, to expose these burgeoning talents to larger audiences. Unlike the current SXSW trend, where local artists are often overshadowed, our events prioritize homegrown talent. By mixing bands from different genres and adding attractions like vendor markets, we're not just hosting concerts—we're building community events that attract diverse crowds.
Brit Street Records is committed to not only supporting local musicians but also rekindling Austin's reputation as a live music haven. Through these efforts, we hope to bring the city's music scene back to its former glory, making it a launching pad for artists and a must-visit destination for music lovers. Let's bring everyone back to the music venues, not just the musicians, and let Austin live up to its title once again.
If you are a vendor, venue, interested collaborator or artist (send EPK with live video performances) looking to join our cause, please contact us at manager@britstreetrecords.com. Together, let's make Austin's music scene thrive again!
