Join us for live music events in Bastrop, TX

The Bastrop Live Music Foundation was created to cultivate and support the live music ecosystem in Bastrop, TX.

Founded in 2023, our mission is to bring local and touring musicians to local venues, ensure that musicians are paid a fair wage, and create opportunities for our community to connect through live music performances and events.

In 2024 we’re rolling out new initiatives including a Bastrop Musicians Database and a music education and mentorship program for the next generation of musicians.

Join us this month for live music, and stay tuned for what’s next!
