Pride in Local Music ® is a dynamic music festival that began during the COVID pandemic as a way for the Austin LGBT Chamber (ALGBTCC) to support Austin’s Live Music scene and creative economy.

The music festival is founded by the ALGBTCC and is presented by the Chamber and produced by OUTlaw Pride.

Pride in Local Music (PILM) is free to attend! RSVP here!

Doors open at 5PM! We can’t wait to see you at Drinks Backyard!

Meet Julie Bouchard, the soulful pop sensation from Austin, TX! When she’s not enchanting audiences with her Ed Sheeran-meets-Adele vibes, you’ll likely find her exploring Austin’s vibrant music scene or crafting lyrics that speak to the heart. Julie‘s music isn’t just a playlist; it’s a journey through emotions, and her down-to-earth personality shines through in every note. Get ready to be drawn into Julie‘s world, where each song is a piece of her genuine, relatable story.

✨ Austin queer country music icon Julie Nolen is bringing raw power and truth to the stage at Pride in Local Music! Check out one of her latest tracks, “Bold,” an anthem for chosen family, resilience, and love that refuses to be silenced. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🎶 “Family don’t just mean blood where I come from…” Julie’s voice carries the stories of our community, and on September 21 at 3TEN ACL Live, she’ll remind us why living out loud is revolutionary.

Rock Bottom String Band plays music inspired by bluegrass, punk, country, roots, and rock at breakneck speeds with a whole lot of fun.

Born in 2013 from backyard jams in the town of San Marcos, TX, we’ve become an internationally touring presence in the alternative Americana community.
The goal of every show is to enjoy life with good times and new friends.

Rock Bottom brings that energy to each performance to guarantee an engaging and immersive experience for the audience.

🔥 Artist. Activist. Poet. Performer. Thelonious Love is bringing his bold new sound to Pride in Local Music® @ 3TEN ACL Live – Presented by the Austin LGBT Chamber!

🎤 With his fourth studio project with love (JURNT Entertainment), Theo dives into everything from mental health and queer identity to relationships, social justice, and beyond. His swaggering baritone, live instrumentation, and fearless lyrics create a Hip-Hop sound that’s as unforgettable as it is unapologetic.

💜 Backed by his band — and his partner Sean Maddox — Thelonious Love has become one of Austin’s most powerful live acts, lighting up stages at Cheer Up Charlies, Mohawk, Empire, and more. Now he’s ready to light up 3TEN ACL Live on Sept 21.

💋 Written in a fit of feminine fury, promqueen’s latest single “SCARLETT” is a femme power anthem — part noir fantasy, part night-out soundtrack. With dramatic strings, thumping 808s, and a sassy, theatrical bite, it flips the script on male objectification and celebrates femme camaraderie.

👑 On September 21 at 3TEN ACL Live, promqueen brings “SCARLETT” to life with unapologetic glamour, burlesque-tinged visuals, and the femme-fire energy that’s made her one of Austin’s fastest-rising stars (ACL Fest, SXSW, YAR).
