About this audio guide
This guide to the Hole in the Wall on Austin's Drag traces the dive bar back to nineteen seventy-four, when Billie and Doug Cugini opened it across from the University of Texas with no plan for live music at all. It follows the accidental stage, the run of Texas musicians who passed through it, and the decades the venue spent standing its ground on Guadalupe Street. Listen for what a room built for only two hundred people came to mean to a city that now calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World.
