Stubbs Restaurant Event Tickets – Austin Lives Up To Its Name As The Live Music Capital Of The World This May!

Austin, Texas doesn’t take its title as the Live Music Capital of the World lightly! Austin is home to over 200 live music venues, and you’d better bet that they are always bubbling over with eclectic live performances and packed crowds. This May in particular sees a batch of internationally touring artists stopping in Austin on their respective road trips.

Stubb’s Restaurant is one of Austin, Texas’ most beloved live music venues, and chanteuse Norah Jones will be performing a pair of dates at Stubb’s on May 1 and 2, joining a laundry list of eclectic acts that have stopped there over the years. Jones is in the midst of a 36-city tour in support of her latest album, The Fall, her fourth studio set. Jones launched her tour in Tulsa, Okla. on March 5 and will stop in cities scattered throughout the States and Canada this spring and summer. Fans with Stubbs Restaurant event tickets from StubHub.com can hear Jones perform songs like her hit single “Chasing Pirates” off The Fall when she stops in Austin.

After Norah Jones continues on from Austin on tour, Stubb’s Restaurant will host Blue October on May 8. Hailing from Houston, where the eclectic rock band formed in 1996, Blue October is currently on the road in support of their fifth studio album Approaching Normal, and fans will be flocking to the see the band perform in their home state. Blue October worked with Grammy-winning producer Steve Lillywhite (known for his work with U2) for their latest album, which is the follow-up to the band’s platinum-selling 2006 album Foiled, Blue October’s breakthrough album. Dubbed the Pick Up the Phone Tour, Blue October’s trek seeks to raise awareness of mental-health issues and benefit suicide-prevention services, according to Live Daily.

The University of Texas at Austin sits just north of downtown Austin, and in addition to Longhorns fans, the campus is packed with entertainment venues. The Frank Erwin Events Center at UT is one such venue, and one of country music’s leading ladies, Carrie Underwood, will stop there while on tour on May 8. Underwood kicked off her tour in support of her third album Play On in Reading, Pa. on March 11 and will remain on the road-with opening acts Craig Morgan and Sons of Sylvia in tow-until June 20, when she wraps things up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The American Idol winner is nominated for the coveted Entertainer of the Year honor at the upcoming 45th annual Academy of Country Awards, to be held on April 18, and is also planning her wedding to hockey star Mike Fisher. It’s a wonder she can find time to tour, but fans are happy she has!

The drive from Austin to San Antonio, the most-visited city in the Lone Star State, is definitely worth it! Aside from historical gems like the Alamo and La Villita, one of the first Spanish settlements, San Antonio is famous for the San Antonio River Walk. The River Walk snakes its way through central San Antonio along the San Antonio River and is lined with galleries, restaurants and shops. Built in 1929, San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre has remained a top venue and pillar in the South Texas city ever since. The Majestic will host Celtic Woman for two shows on May 2. San Antonio is known for its cultural diversity, and this tradition is continued when the Irish quintet comes into town. The female-powered phenomenon is on tour in support of Celtic Woman, Songs from the Heart, and fans of the talented lasses will be turning up to see them perform in San Antonio.
