If you’re into live music and love the Texas Hill Country, there’s no better place than Luckenbach. Luckenbach was made famous by the Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson song, but the legend lives on with one of the best country dance halls in Texas. Luckenbach is a place every Texan should visit.
If you’re looking for a true Texas dance hall where you can listen to great music, do a little two-steppin’ on an old wooden floor, and enjoy a cold one on a hot Texas night, this is the place for you!
The dance hall is open just about every night, featuring music by talented musicians like Jimmy Lee Jones or Bo Porter hosting the pickers circle. They also book monthly dances by some of the top Texas musicians. Texas greats such as Pat Green, Gary P. Nunn, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Billy Joe Shaver, Jerry Jeff Walker and others have played at the hall.
If you arrive during the day, expect to hear live music under the tall oak trees. Enjoy a stroll beside the creek, or play a game of washers. Like so many others, my first reaction to Luckenback was, “Is this it??” I’m not sure what I was expecting, but after listening to the live music, visiting the old store that has been in existence since 1849, meeting wonderful people (and listening to a few tall tales), I realized Luckenback is everything it should be. “A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – like a step back in time.”
My family is planning a get together this spring. They don’t know (well, I guess they do after reading this), but it’s going to be in Luckenbach where we can enjoy the lovely Hill Country, visit with friendly people, and two step the night away listening to some awesome Texas music.
Hope to see you in Luckenbach! Where everybody’s somebody.
