A New Era Begins
Austin folks, rejoice! Big things are brewing at the 29th Street Ballroom, a beloved entertainment hub for students from the University of Texas and locals alike. This venue has been pulsing with life since it broke away from the Spider House Café in 2020. Now, as Resound Presents takes the reins, you can expect an unforgettable makeover full of fun and creativity.

Leading the charge is Graham Williams, the CEO and co-founder of Resound Presents. He’s gathered a passionate team that includes Ian Orth and seven other seasoned professionals from Austin’s vibrant music scene. Their mission? To bring new life and excitement back into the ballroom while keeping the warm, funky spirit that the community cherishes.
Major Renovations on the Way!
Get ready for a facelift because renovations are set to continue through January 2025, with a grand reopening slated for March of that year. The management team is dedicated to improving various aspects of the venue, so expect to see a shiny new sound system, updated green room, revamped facade, and striking signage. These upgrades are not just cosmetic; they’re a promise of better sound quality and an enriched experience for every visitor.
