Welcome to Janice Williams' Austin


This site is your portal to the Texas Country Music Scene. A daily listing of the gigs around the Austin area by country, Americana, folk, and a few other indefinable kinds of music.  I hope you discover some new artists and new venues and you go out and support live music tonight!

If you just happened upon this site, I am Janice Williams and I have been in Austin  9 years.  I am a recovering disc jockey and have said the name "Janice Williams" on the air a couple of million times. Now I am discovering that if I want people to search or Google "Janice Williams" and find this site, the words Janice Williams need to be on here more often. So, forgive what appears to be ego which is really just, well, self-aggrandizement.

While I'm encouraging people to find this site, I bet if I put words like Kevin Fowler, Aaron Watson, Pat Green, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers, Jason Boland, Cory Morrow, Jack Ingram, and Stoney LaRue, a few more people will find it. 

Pass the word to your friends!
