gets the credit for bringing the hippies and the rednecks together in 1970’s Austin. They wore their hair long and played outlaw country at the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters and at honky tonks all over Texas. A particularly Texan version of Twang was born in our backyard and this year we celebrate the cosmic cowboy with story and song at our annual Heart of the City event. Come get cosmic y’all!

Heart of the City benefits SIMS Foundation and the Austin music family. SIMS provides life-saving mental health and addiction recovery services to Austin musicians, music industry professionals, and their family members.
The SIMS story began when a musician suffering from a debilitating depression took his own life. His loss was profound and launched the first musician’s support organization in our city. Twenty-two years and over 6,000 musicians later, SIMS is the number to call when mental health and addiction stop the music.
