As the brochure for Gruene Hall says, “Come dance with history.”
Gruene Hall’s legacy is more than being the oldest, continually operating dance hall in the State of Texas. It has had fun making history. Known throughout the world as a music venue, Gruene Hall has been instrumental in starting the careers of Lyle Lovett, George Strait, Hal Ketchum and many others. The stage has seen the likes of Bo Diddley, The Dixie Chicks, Jerry Lee Lewis, Garth Brooks, and Willie Nelson.
The Hall hosted baseball great Nolan Ryan’s 50th birthday party and it has been featured in numerous music videos and movies. Of special note is “Michael,” starring John Travolta, whose dance scene was filmed in Gruene Hall.
It’s also the place Jerry Jeff Walker celebrates his birthday.
