AUSTIN ROOTS, BIG STAGES, AND DIRTY 6TH STORIES 🎤🎙️ This episode of The Sound of Firsts features Will Bridges (@wheelbridges) — co-owner and operator behind some of Austin’s most iconic spots including Antone’s Nightclub, Lambert’s Downtown Barbecue, Deep Eddy Cabaret, Pool Burger, Cisco’s Restaurant Bakery & Bar, and Arlyn Studios. He’s also the co-founder and promoter of the Austin Blues Festival (@austinbluesfestival) happening this weekend at Moody Amphitheater. We get into our longtime business relationship, the art of beatboxing, growing up in Austin, his days as a club DJ on Dirty 6th, and what it’s been like to grow alongside the city while helping shape some of its most legendary venues and hangouts. It’s a fun, real conversation about music, business, and the evolution of Austin culture. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or watch on YouTube. Follow, like, subscribe — and enjoy.

A fisheye moment. Salute to the @atxcommunityfdn for having me at Austin in Common last night. Year three of being in the room with people actually making a difference. For real, every time I leave inspired. What a beautiful event from a truly impactful organization doing the real work to make Austin better. 🙏🏽

"Yo DJ Mel! 🔥 I just caught that dope convo you had about Austin roots and all those legendary spots like Antone’s. It’s sick to see how our city’s culture is evolving, especially with all the shows happening! If you’re around for your ACL Live gig, hit me up! Might be a vibe to swing by the studio and cook up something fresh. 💯🎧"
