Elvis Presley played the Skyline in 1955, and scenes from the Willie Nelson film Honeysuckle Rose were filmed there.

During the mid-1970s, the club became known as the Soap Creek Saloon, hosting Austin's Outlaw Country movement artists including Willie Nelson, Delbert McClinton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Asleep at the Wheel, and Jerry Jeff Walker. In 1989 the building was demolished to widen the intersection of Lamar Boulevard and Braker Lane.

This favorite live music venue was located at 11306 North Lamar Boulevard (near Braker Lane) in Austin, featuring this iconic neon sign. Opened in 1946, the roadhouse was a popular dance hall featuring prominent country, western swing, honky-tonk, and rock-and-roll artists on a low stage with even lower ceilings.

(You can find the matching mug, which pairs as a great gift, here.)

 

This unisex heavy blend crewneck sweatshirt is pure comfort for boot scootin', or just amblin through town. The collar is ribbed knit, so it retains its shape even if y'all decide to wash it a whole bunch. Plus, no itchy side seams to pester you.
