The Backyard

The Backyard is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in a natural, open-air setting enveloped in the shade of 400 year old live oaks. Multitiered decks, fish ponds and plaza areas illuminate the magic of the amphitheater’s atmosphere. This one of a kind amphitheater hosts music as varied and eclectic as the people of Austin. Willie Nelson, David Bowie, Natalie Merchant, the Gypsy Kings, Lyle Lovett, The Neville Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Widespread Panic and Norah Jones have all graced the tree surrounded stage.

Winning awards and recognition not only from local and national publications (“Best Open Air Venue” Austin Chronicle; “Best Place to Hear Live Music” Citysearch), the Backyard is critically acclaimed by the most important of people, the artists themselves. Creating a natural, comfortable and unique environment for the Backyard’s performers has been of utmost importance since the Backyard’s conception.

The Backyard is also host to first class private events and benefits, from Seagram’s launch of their new Margaritaville tequila featuring a performance by Jimmy Buffet, to the National Golf Association’s tournament reception and Advanced Micro Devices 25th Anniversary event.
