About this audio guide
This guide to Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin starts with an unlikely object left on the pool table and traces it back to a ramshackle Lubbock barbecue joint in the nineteen seventies, where Christopher Stubb Stubblefield fed touring musicians from Willie Nelson to Muddy Waters. You will hear how a bored night with Tom T. Hall and Joe Ely turned into a recorded song, and how Stubb carried his open kitchen toward Austin's own music scene. Listen for the building's older lives as a home, a blues club, and a junk shop before it became this stage.
