Texas Music Magazine is 25 years old today! On Dec. 3, 1999, the first printed copies of the magazine rolled off the printing press at Hart Graphics in Austin. The official street day was Jan. 1, 2000, however we printed the magazine a month early so we could have an extra month of promotion with the first edition. The premiere issue featured Lyle Lovett on the cover, plus stories on Bobby Fuller, The Gourds, Ten Great Texas Guitarists and much more. Stay tuned for more news related to our 25th anniversary year in 2025.
