What happens when two die-hard ravers grow up, stay true to the music, and decide to build their own temple for electronic music? You get The Concourse Project — ranked Top 100 clubs worldwide, and the heartbeat of Austin’s underground scene.
Brent and Tony sit down with Kelly & Andrew, the duo behind Real Music Events and The Concourse Project, to talk about how a DIY dream became one of the most respected venues and festivals in America.
