Located in UT's Texas Union building, the Cactus Cafe has been a favorite accoustic singer-songwriter haven for more than 30 years. A smaller venue, with a maximum capacity of just 100-150, Austin live music seen here seems more live. Or at least more intimate.

The Cactus Cafe has a tremendous history, a place where you could catch rising stars and other top musicians who still enjoy the intimate setting. A partial list of those who've played the Cactus over the years: Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, the Dixie Chicks, Guy Clark, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bob Schneider, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss, Guy Clark, Shawn Colvin, Bruce Robison, Suzanne Vega, Eliza Gilkyson, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and on and on.
