The Austin Music Project (“AMP”) is a multi-media gallery exhibit honoring 50 Essential Austin Musicians of the past 40 years. It is open to the public for viewing at no charge 365 days a year at its permanent home at 3401 S. IH-35 (northeast corner of IH-35 and Woodward St., Exit 231).
The purpose of AMP is to inform and delight those with an interest in the rich tapestry of the Austin music community both past and present, from the most casual tourist to the dyed-in-the-wool devotee, in order to promote the continuing health and development of the “Live Music Capital of the World, ” and in particular those who create the music.
AMP’s Essential Fifty are all members of the Austin Chronicle Austin Music Hall of Fame and each is honored with a 30” x 24” performance portrait accompanied by a biographical profile.
Performance portraits were made by renowned music photographers from around the world, and the profiles were professionally written and edited by veteran print reporters of the Austin music scene. In addition, the gallery will feature a rotating play list of 250 tracks of the honorees’ most memorable works.
Funding and space for the Austin Music Project is donated by the locally-owned and operated Wyndham Hotel and Woodward Conference Center. In addition to sponsoring the Austin Music Project, the Wyndham is a proud supporter of the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians and the Austin Music Foundation.
