Please join us on Labor Day for the opening of our new AT&T Learning center. B.B.

Live music begins at 10:15, then a drumming workshop for students after the opening of the building. Club Ebony will be serving lunch, and we’ll unveil the latest Blues Trail marker there at 1:30 with more live music.

And more to come on the following Saturday, September 12^th! Live music all day and into the evening as we celebrate our first year anniversary and B.B.’s birthday. The day at the Museum will culminate with a special screening of Austin City Limits, the 1983 show featuring B.B., and commentary by the show’s founder, Terry Lickona. Plenty of good food and music all over town that night!
