ATXM Night Shift Returns Tuesday, March 3rd — Austin’s Music Industry Comes Together
ATXM Night Shift returns Tuesday, March 3rd at Brushy Street Commons — bringing together Austin’s musicians, industry leaders, and creative professionals for an evening of connection and live performance. Featuring our signature listening-room open mic and delicious eats from Marinara Miracles, this is where collaboration starts and community grows.
A Moment That Reminded Us Why We Gather
Last night at ATXM Night Shift, a quiet, powerful moment unfolded when Southern Longoria wrote a poem in the room and bravely shared it during open mic. His words captured the heartbeat of Austin music and reminded us why creating space for artists to be heard truly matters.
