2012 Preview: Austin Free Music Week
What better way to start 2012 than with one of our favorite annual traditions in Austin — Free Week!!! From January 1st through 8th (with a few shows on December 30th), there will be FREE MUSIC at The Mohawk, Red 7, Beauty Bar, The North Door & ND all thanks to Transmission Events, Tecate and Culture Map.
