We provide a long list of quality bars to accommodate your way to a great St. Paddy’s day.
We do ask Attendees to read, follow instructions, and remain informed with updates for as smooth a holiday possible amongst the Chicago craze! ~ We’re in this together!

Testimonials

“The music and setting was “other worldly”

I live in Austin & Love Will Taylor and his music. Even in a town like Austin where musicians are on every corner, Will Stands out With his unique collaborations and concerts, He truly is “One of a Kind.” Thank you Will. Please keep your awesome and unique music coming!!!! YOU would be sorely missed were you to leave!!! -Pam B, Ph.D

Thanks for the unbelievable musical service. Will, you take us kicking and connecting with new people who love music and natural life! Then Tony captured the beauty of classical guitar, which for me was delightful, secret toe wiggling while lying on my mat, housed in dark AC while visually surrounded by elms and willows. The hands on energy touch upon request, was an amazing bonus. Can’t get any better. Dr. Patty and Bob

Will, last night’s show was magnificent. Now I remember why I felt at home when I came to Austin in 1980. There is something precious here, (Holy, actually) and you are a part of that. Thank you. Shara T.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Concerts in the Dark all about?
Concerts in the Dark offers a unique and transformative way to experience acoustic music by reducing or completely eliminating light, giving the listener the opportunity to immerse themselves entirely in the experience.
This innovative series celebrates the purity and intimacy of acoustic music, creating an environment where every note, rhythm, and resonance takes center stage. By tuning out visual distractions, audiences are invited to engage their senses more deeply, fostering a profound connection with the music and its emotional core.
Most of our concerts include a short meditation at the beginning. At some events, guests bring blankets and/or pillows, and sit or lie on the floor to experience the music in a relaxing posture, while the musicians walk around the room.

👤 Are children welcome?
Kids are welcome! For this show, everyone needs a ticket but, anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please keep in mind that this is an event where the focus is on the music, and might include meditation. So we value peace and an environment of non-disruption for all that are paying to have this experience. This isn’t a club atmosphere where there is talking over the music. That being so, we do have a separate area where you can take the kids if they or you need a break.
🪑 What’s the seating like?
Regular seating is on a first come first served basis.
There will be chairs provided for guests wanting back support.
The floor will be available for folks that bring yoga mats and/or pillows.
GOLD VIP Tickets get you reserved yoga matt spots front row by the musicians, and all VIP tickets holders get early access to the space.
How dark is it actually? We turn off all lights at the beginning of the concert for the first few songs, light a single candle, and then have darkness for the last 2 songs.
Is this a sober event? YES! No Drugs/Alcohol, Smoking, No Phones, No Camera/Video, and No Scents please
Can I volunteer to get in free?
Yes, we have 4 positions for volunteers that begin 1 hour before the event and include helping set up the space, checking people in and cleaning up after the event is done

More audience testimonials for Will Taylor
“Wow, we are so grateful to you for such an incredible evening. George and I were so high from the creative energy and the almost other-worldly sense of collaboration. What a divine life you have to be able to participate in such moments of group creativity. It made me jealous that my work world is so isolated. Ah well, it was just heavenly to be part of the experience. We can’t wait for the next Strings Attached concert.”
Sarah Bird, award winning author

“Once again, very magical and heart felt music, we can feel it when it comes from your hearts, because like tuning, it strikes our chords as well and moves us.” – Dan

“The ensemble is fantastic. Each player is very gifted and adds to the whole. No one dominates or over plays. You are the best group I’ve heard in Austin in a long while.” – Becky M.

Country music superstar Cole Swindell, who Rolling Stone has called “a proven hit-maker,” has solidified himself as a hit songwriter, recording artist and headlining performer over the past twelve years. With his single “Forever To Me” from his fifth studio album, Spanish Moss, hitting No. 1 the multi-Platinum award winner has now racked up 13 No. 1 singles as an artist – 14 as a songwriter. Twelve of Swindell’s 13 No. 1 singles have been certified Platinum by the RIAA with three being 3X Platinum (“Chillin’ It,” “You Should Be Here,” and “She Had Me At Heads Carolina”) and two being 2X Platinum (“Ain’t Worth The Whiskey” and “Break Up In The End”). His current single “We Can Always Move On” is currently making its way up the country charts!
Greylan James is one of Nashville’s most exciting young breakout country stars! TheKnoxville-raised artist-on-the-rise has been manifesting his vision of country music stardom since his earliest days. Since moving to Music City 8 years ago, Greylan has become a“celebrated song writer” (Country Now) earning cuts from some of country music’s most notable artists including Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, Chris Janson, BaileyZimmerman, BRELAND and more. The singer-songwriter earned his first No. 1 and ACM Award for Song of the Year, co-writing Jordan Davis’ smash hit “Next Thing You Know.” To date, Greylan’s songbook has landed three No. 1 hits and amassed over 900M streams. And while Greylan has undoubtedly been incredibly successful penning hits for others in the writer’s room, he’s ready to strike out on his own. His growing catalog of songs including his debut radio single“Wait Til You Have Kids” and his buzzy new track “Water At A Wedding” highlight why SiriusXM dubbed him “a superstar just beginning to hit his stride” with his “impeccable songwriting and artistry.”
Gin Blossoms is a Grammy Nominated American alternative rock band that formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. The band rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label debut album, “New Miserable Experience,” and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold. “New Miserable Experience,” eventually went quadruple platinum and three other charting singles were released from the album including “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away”. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry(1996), went platinum including the Grammy nominated “As Long as It Matters” and the top 10 single “Follow YouDown”. Gin Blossoms continue to tour every year and in recent years have shared the stage with Blues Traveler, Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish!
Better Than Ezra – Songs, albums, live performances—some are simply timeless. From their early roots, circa1988, playing house parties at Louisiana State University, Better Than Ezra have made their mark on the music world in a major way. Yes, the New Orleans quartet, founded by Kevin Griffin and Tom Drummond , who unleash hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics, have stood the test of time—from1995’s #1 hit “Good” all the way to Taylor Swift’s famous 2010 cover of the Better Than Ezraclassic “Breathless.” And they’re still going strong: in May 2024, the band released their long-anticipated tenth studio album Super Magickvia Round Hill Records. Named one of the “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by Billboard, with a legacy that includes inspiring a classic Saturday Night Live skit!
Lit is considered one of the preeminent bands to have come out of the post-grunge era of the late 90’s and helped define an entire generation of SoCal power punk with hard-charging hits like “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Miserable,” “Zip-Lock,” and “Lipstick & Bruises.” The band has released 6 worldwide studio albums, including their RIAA Certified Platinum “A Place in the Sun,” and they are currently writing and recording to release new material.
