The Austin Music Hall is one of the most recognized live music and special events venues in Central Texas. In 1994, the Austin Music Hall was one of the first properties in the Austin Warehouse District to be converted into an upscale facility.  The Austin Music Hall has hosted hundreds of concerts, presenting such acts as Bruce Springsteen, Beck, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews Band.  In addition, Direct Events and Austin Music Hall have been involved in booking and organizing upscale private events and fundraisers that have helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for non-profit organizations.=0D=0A=
