November concert series supports artists who built Austin's music scene

A benefit campaign that uses live music to help other musicians get housing is taking root as an annual event, with more participating venues in its second year. Homecoming (stylized HOMEcoming), running from now through December 1, will raise funds and awareness for HOME in a series of local shows at more than a dozen venues.

New venues in 2026 include 04 Center, Elephant Room, Radio East, and Sam’s Town Point. Other popular venues have signed on again since the inaugural year in 2025, including ACL Live at 3TEN, Antone’s Nightclub, C-Boy’s Heart & Soul, the Continental Club, Emo's, and more. Special activations will also happen at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

HOME exists to support Austin musicians as they age, recognizing that they helped build the scene, often while getting priced out of their own neighborhoods. The nonprofit offers housing assistance, support in emergencies, and case management for housing needs.
