Austin is the capital of Texas and the eleventh most populous city in the United States. It is also the fastest-growing large city in the nation. Located in Central Texas, Austin is home to the University of Texas at Austin and a variety of other institutions of higher learning.
The city’s official slogan promotes Austin as “The Live Music Capital of the World,” a reference to the city’s many live music venues and the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits.
