The Wild About Music store is such an incredible and fun music store in the heart of downtown Austin :D ! It has such a vibrant and upbeat appeal, with quirky and meaningful souvenirs for either yourself or for friends and family :) ! And the employees are super friendly, warm and courteous :) ! My sister and I first visited this store at another location over a decade ago when Quincy was the music store cat :) ! Quincy has since passed away. And now, Louis, an adorable tuxedo cat, is the current store cat :) ! Louis has his own merch for fans like us who absolutely adore him :D ! My sister has frequented Austin more often than I have, and always makes an effort to stop by here when she is in town :) ! Ever since the store moved from its original location in downtown to its current location today :) ! There is even a section and a window display dedicated to the one and only Dolly Parton :) ! You can find all kinds of quirky merchandise items, like stylish and fun mugs, magnets, games, clothing, vinyl record decorations, miniature guitars, and art work :D ! You can never get bored in this store :) ! And amazingly, most of these quality items are very reasonably priced :) ! My sister thought a kitty record-designed scratch board for her friend that was only about $13. I found some cool piano socks and scarves to purchase for friends :) ! And we bought a lot of the tuxedo cat keychains and a plush animal because they were so cute and at such great prices :D ! We will definitely come back on subsequent trips to Austin :D ! read more

What an amazing store right in downtown Austin! There are so many music themed souvenirs, mugs, Tshirts and actual guitars that you can purchase here. The vibe is very Austiny and you can also find a nice selection of local souvenirs here. read more

This is one of those really cool shops located directly on Congress which gets a lot of pedestrian traffic. We've been wanting to come here for sometime, but since we don't live in the city center, it means that you'll be facing one of those parking kiosks to receive your credit card. This is a very spacious store that definitely has a great local musical flare and needless to say Willie Nelson is a key feature. The place has a great selection of T-shirts, jewelry, and even some instruments at the rear of the store, but no actual record albums. If you find yourself walking down Congress near 6th street, you should really stop in. And as the business owner points out, apparently I missed the record section. read more

This is a really cool music store on sixth Street that sells souvenirs and gifts. If you're looking for cowboy hats, they have them for about $50. Baseball cats for around $25. The customer service was good. read more

This is a MUST SEE in Austin. Shopped here upon our arrival to Austin. Brought our group back another time, to visit Louis the resident kitty and to shop some more!! read more

I came into this location this past Saturday with another party while waiting for an ATX food tour. This was my first time at this location (although I have been meaning to get to the location for years). As my home is big on music, (with Thing One playing three instruments; tuba, guitar and double bass, Thing Two playing two instruments; piano and violin and your trusty old OCA playing one instrument; the violin for the last 30 + plus years). I just had to stop in and at least take a look around. After looking around for about 10 minutes, I decided on purchasing a painting. I selected the one that spoke to me the most which happened to be a painting of a lively scene in a club. It took a little effort to get the painting off the wall but it was worth the wait. I am pleased with the painting and the level of service I received. However, I did ask for a military discount and was advised that paintings were not subject to the discount. I do think this will be the first and last time I buy a piece from here as more than $500.00 for this piece is excessive. #supportlocal #supportthearts read more

Looking for music related gifts? T-shirts with your favorite band? Coffee mugs with music related themes? Miniature guitars? Stickers? Jewelry? This store has it all and so much more. I could have spent hours looking through it as the selection was diverse and fun. I loved the area in the back with ukuleles and guitars. We didn't buy much (laying over in Austin for a few hours) but we really did enjoy visiting. Also enjoyed meeting "Louise" the house cat. Hope to return on another visit to Austin! read more

Cool music store that also sells clothing, gifts, cat toys (?), as well as ukuleles and other instruments. (Mostly interested in the ukes, though!) I was walking to a show at the Paramount and was surprised that this place was open later. And it was decently busy inside! Friendly service. read more

I think music connects us all, but if you're a music buff or know someone who is, then there is sure to be a connection up in here, up in here! I'm not that into the genre of Rock (which seems to be pretty popular here), but I spotted a few artists and groups that I did know and appreciate. Though not super diverse (in my opinion), I was happy to see some Black artists like Prince, Beyonce, Cardi B, and Michael Jackson featured. More genres and more races, please! This store features a lot of current and historic music celeb memorabilia, trinkets, gifts, clothing and collectibles. They also sell cool instruments, and it's just an overall fun store to browse! Ditch those gas station-like souvenir shops and grab something from here instead! Lots of Austin stuff! Happy browsing! read more

This was a really fun shop that my husband and I truly enjoyed on our trip to Austin. Both of us are considerably "wild about music"! The workers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and walked my husband and I through all of our purchases. Thanks guys!! read more

This is the perfect store where tourists have to visit while in Austin. It defines what Austin is and can take home a piece of it on a shirt, trinket, or musical instrument. Unique items are everywhere here and for me mostly purchase shirts with local slogans on them to wear at home or to a music venue. In the back are a wide variety of musical instruments and music related items. It is a very cool store to check out. read more

Love this store. It is an actual music store in the back and fun, trinkets and souvenirs in the front. This store is not your typical junkies souvenir shop. Stop by and say hey to Louie as well. read more

Looking for a cool gift idea for the music lover in your life?? Look no further than Wild About Music!! This shop is massive and full of fun music-themed knickknacks. Seeking graphic T's of your favorite band? They've got them. Artwork depicting your favorite musician? They've got it. Need: guitars? Ukuleles? Thumb pianos? Guitar straps? Piano socks? They have all of that and more. I initially wasn't certain of what gift I wanted to grab for my music-lover-person, but, after a lap or two around the place (JAMMING to the background music playing in the store) and the help of the super friendly staff (and their cat, Jeffery), I found exactly what I never knew I wanted!! Score! No pun intended. I'll be back for sure. read more

Thanks RJ and Leslie! I came in from Houston for a convention and I stopped by this little shop and picked up a wonderful drum at a great price read more

Nice and unique store that has a lot of different items for music fans, especially local ones. If you are into trinkets and souvenirs this is your store, so come visit it while you are in the area. read more

Very fun place, employees were helpful. Lots of stuff that takes you back to your childhood. Highly recommend.

Really cool music store in downtown Austin. The walls are covered with either merchandise you can buy or artwork and such you could just go in and admire. Tons of cool music merchandise here...I mean tons. They even have guitars and such in the back! Friendly staff including the black kitty perched on the counter. He allowed us to take photos of/with him. He also was wearing a tie since he was working and all that. read more

What a cool spot! So much musical variety, supplies, swag, and trinkets in one place. Before I go on, I have to mention the unofficial supervisor of the store, Jeffery. He's a black cat who has the best fashion sense and an eclectic collection of ties. Be sure to say hi to him if you're ever in the store. I feel like this place fits in really well with the Austin culture. Live music is everywhere, and it's clear that appreciation for good music is alive and well in this store. You can pick up a souvenir guitar pick for $.25 or check in to the Yelp app for a free one (may be a limited time only). I now feel like this is one spot not to be missed when visiting Austin. Get a shirt, a souvenir, or a piece of equipment. I know there are plenty of other items I didn't even see so make sure you check this place out. It's sure to offer something for everyone! read more

What a fun shop! Stopped in while in town for the Texas Book Festival. Found all kinds of little gifts for upcoming holiday. Great selection. Spent way too long there, just browsing. read more

Awesome shop! Not just music stuff, an array of high quality gifts and souvenirs. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, Nikki was a pleasure to talk to and will help you find the right gift for whoever you're looking for. Highly recommended read more

Awesome place to get souvenirs of your Austin's visit. They have all kind of things from classic rock bands shirts to very peculiar guitars that go all the way to the several hundred dollars. In my case, I love to collect coffee mugs; it was hard to pick just one. Clothing selection is pretty cool too; if you ever dreamed of your new born wearing the Johnny cash outfit, this is the place to get it. read more

By far one of the coolest souvenir and gift shops I have ever been to. They have some of the coolest items and eclectic mix of knickknacks and gift ideas. Although it is mostly geared toward rock and country music, which aren't my favorites, I was amazed at the type of things they sell in the store. You will not be disappointed if you need to pick up something in a pinch for your friends back home. read more

Very cool store. I loved all the different kinds of guitars and ukuleles and all of the guitar ornaments and souvenirs. I purchased a few items from here and got my free guitar pick for checking in with yelp as well :) If you took a tour with AO tours you get a 10% discount so don't forget to show them your pink luggage tag so you can get a discount. read more

This is THE place to go for Austin souvenirs. Music memorabilia of all kinds. The other souvenir shops along 6th street were kind of tacky, but this one was in a class by itself. I bought a couple of stunning Christmas ornaments here. They are a miniature saxophone and a miniature flute, for my kids who play those instruments (well, they play real instruments, not the ornaments!). The ornaments are made of real metal, wonderfully detailed, simply stunning, only $10 each. The perfect souvenirs of Austin. The staff was helpful and friendly (well, it seems everybody in Austin is helpful and friendly). read more

This is a must see while in Austin. Such a great store with tons to see for a music lover.

Great place to visit if you have musician friends visiting from out of town. The shop is filled with all kinds of music memorabilia and instruments, and the customer service is friendly and helpful. Lots of cute Austin-centric items as well! read more

I'm not a musician nor claim to be. I was just a girl in the area, bookmarking and checking out Yelp checkin offers. As I was walking down Sixth Street, after walking from the Capitol, I recognized this place as one of the ones that I had bookmarked. They had all kinds of musical themed souvenirs. I went with a tiny pink guitar that is now hanging from my memory board in my office. It doesn't say ATX, but I like that it's simple without that statement. My biggest and only quarrel... do you remember that the checkin offer that I mentioned? It was a free souvenir guitar pick. Well, they were out of them. grrrr. No rain check, sorry about that, nothing. He just took my money for my tiny pink guitar and sent me about my merry way. read more

Stopped by after taking the duck tour with a friend, and we couldn't believe the variety of stuff here! Instruments, music (of course!), art, and just all-around cool randomness! My car radio was busted at the time, and the sales clerk helped me find some portable speakers to plug my iPod into as a temporary fix for the road trip back. Everyone was super friendly, including Quincy (the HUGE store cat/mascot)! And I'm not even a cat person! Quincy's cool in my book, though. I really dig this store, and I highly recommend. :) read more

This place will make you wish you were more of a musicfeen than ever before. It has the most unique items that we had not seen before. We spent over half an hour just admiring their items and toys. My favorite was a candle of a cute cat that eventually melts leaving behind a scary cat skeleton lollll. Will post a picture. This is a must stop for any enthusiast. read more

I could spend hours in this shop! The collection is amazing, and, of course, they have an awesome playlist.

The down-to-earth staff could not be nicer, Great place for a gift if you're trying to entice her. Musicians would find this place to be kinda neat, And conveniently located right on Sixth Street. I checked in and got a free souvenir guitar pick. Oh yeah, bay-bay! Good way to start my experience. Checked out some of the guitars which had very unique designs. There were lots of music-related gifts and clothing. The prices were high, but that is to be expected in a touristy area such as this. Didn't find anything worth buying this time around. Everyone on the staff that I talked to was cool. Average music gift shop. read more

Awesome music store. I took my boyfriend there when were visiting Austin because I know how much he loves music. The only "complaint" is that I couldn't get him out of the store read more

Wild About Music is across the street from the Driskell Hotel. I stopped in while buying holiday gifts. Thought I might buy a few items for others and ended up buying a ton of art for my own home and patio. TONS of cool music & austin art. And the pricing is really nice (by art standards). If you get excite about SRV art - this is your spot. Staff is helpful. Trying to find parking on 6th is the only downside. read more
