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.
