This district is for all those music fans with acts ranging from big-names to local newbies. Red River is the last street you will reach in Downtown Austin before IH-35.  However, it is the stretch between E 7th Street to E 11th Street that houses some of the best live music venues of the city.  If you are looking to see a lot of bands during a short span of time, then Red River is the perfect spot to explore.
