Hotel near Live Music Venues in Dallas
At the center of Dallas’ live music scene, Deep Ellum’s show-stopping music venues are show starters, hosting everything from country and Americana to punk and metal to rock and rap. In fact, the neighborhood has been known for its music for more than a century — by the 1920s, it was a lightning rod for jazz and blues musicians like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter and Bessie Smith. Post–World War II, the clubs closed, but by the 1980s, a revival was underway. Today, more than 30 live music venues dot the landscape.
