Antone's has helped launch the careers of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Los Lonely Boys, Ian Moore, and Bob Schneider just to name a few. The stage at Antone's Nightcub has been graced by everyone from Bono & The Edge of U2, to Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, to Eric Clapton, to Dwight Yoakam to Bruce Willis and Elvis Costello.

The venue is open to all ages and continues to offer unforgettable live music experiences as well as everlasting and powerful memories for everyone - both music lovers and the musicians themselves.
