First thing to know about Austin?
Forget everything you think you know about Texas.
Here in Austin, breakfast tacos are sacred, live music is a way of life, and being weird isn't just accepted, it's celebrated.
- Have you guys seen the tiny aliens that they brought into the Mexican Congress this year?
It's a strange melting pot where cowboys and tech geeks share bar stools, and food trucks serve world-class barbecue.
This city is a green and blue oasis in the heart of Texas, with parks, rivers, and lakes to enjoy year-round, and plenty of sun to soak it all in.
Even the art scene spills into the outdoors, covering the city in murals and pop-ups.
But Austin isn't just the state capital.
It's been dubbed the "live music capital of the world."
Legends like Willie Nelson and Janis Joplin got their start here, and shaped the scene into something bigger than just country music.
So don't worry, we've got plenty of that too.
On any given night, you can hear blues, rock, country, jazz, gospel, and anything in between at venues like The Continental Club or Antone's, or even on a random street corner.
And for me, it's home.
That makes me a unicorn, a rare native in one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.
But no matter how much the skyline changes, there's one thing that keeps this city feeling like home.
The music.
I know when the road is not my own is the time...
I'm Stephanie Hunt, a musician, actor, artist, and a professional people watcher.
Funny to have such a deep conversation in a bikini shirt.
Mostly, I'm just someone who's deeply curious about music and the people who make it.
So I'm setting out on a journey to explore different music scenes around the world.
