NPR featured a great story about KLRU’s famed Studio 6A, home for 36 years to the PBS show ‘Austin City Limits.’ Seems as cool as the distinct 300 seat studio is, it’s being retired in favor of a new larger, state-of the-art venue in downtown Austin.

The annual Fair Day has become a bit of a tradition here at SAM over the last few years. We usually hit it around the last weekend of the fair, hopefully timing […]
