Broken Spoke to celebrate its history
Wednesday, April 5, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Austin’s Broken Spoke will celebrate the dedication of an official Texas Historical Marker on Wednesday, April 12, in a ceremony that will feature dedications from the likes of Mayor Kirk Watson and Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott and, of course, music. The ceremony will kick off at the Spoke at 5:30 p.m., with a free concert from Alvin Crow and Ian Stewart at 7 p.m. in the historic dance hall. Though City Council has not yet approved historic zoning for the honky-tonk, the case sailed through the Historic Landmark Commission and was initiated by City Council along with a proclamation, so odds are that honor is on the way as well.
