"When people think of Austin’s freewheeling music scene, they’re thinking of someplace like The Continental Club, one of the mom-and-pop mainstays that has avoided its neighborhood’s Hermèsification. Most of the shows at this South Congress institution don’t require advance tickets—just a $10 cover at the door, and sometimes not even that (unless Leon Bridges does a surprise three-night residency). A single day’s lineup might include a honkey-tonk pianist, a blues duo, and the second coming of The Clash. Grab a Lone Star and soak up the black and red ambiance of a lounge that belongs in a David Lynch movie. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Matthew Jacobs
