For our 42nd go-around, we at The Austin Chronicle thought we’d take a different approach to the 2024 Austin Music Awards: Less talkin’, more rockin’. After announcing the winners to all 53 categories in last week’s paper, rather than on stage, this year’s event tamped down the speeches in favor of performances. Over a dozen 2023-2024 Austin Music Poll nominees took the stage at first-time AMAs locale Antone’s Nightclub for a cozy, collaborative celebration of the local music scene. Photographer David Brendan Hall captured the show, including the Walker Lukens-led finale pictured above. Read our full event recap here. -
