No local data used

1. Songwriter Showcase Night: Host a rotating lineup of local singer-songwriters doing short sets in the round. Austin loves original music, the artists bring their own followings, and the low-key format keeps your costs down. Offer a drink special for performers and tip-jar support for the artists. 2. Local Band Bingo or Music Trivia: Run a fun, competitive night with music-themed trivia or "name that tune" rounds, with a live house band or DJ between rounds. Give away bar tabs or merch as prizes. It draws groups of friends who might not otherwise come out midweek. 3. Open Mic and Jam Night: Set up a house band and backline so musicians can sign up to play or sit in. It builds community, brings in performers plus their friends, and gives you a chance to scout new talent for weekend bills. Add a small cover or a food and drink deal to keep people around.
