After a year of drive-in shows and virtual streams, the Long Live Music outdoor series heralded the first real return to some semblance of normalcy for the live music capital. Hosted on the lawn of the Long Center and produced by Long Center and Luck Presents, the spacious grounds allowed for responsible open-air social distancing beneath the Austin skyline while wrangling a diverse roster of A-list talent (Patty Griffin, Billy Strings, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Tank & the Bangas). The events additionally benefited Musically Fed, a nonprofit supporting out-of-work music industry professionals.
