About Us

Making Magic Happen Since 1987

As a 501(c)3 organization, the mission of Old Settler’s Music Festival, Inc. is to bring a legacy of American roots music to a new age of listeners while preserving the music and a strong culture of family, friends, and a sense of community. 

For 37 years and counting, the Old Settler’s Music Festival brings Americana and roots music lovers together for camping, community, and celebration each spring.  As one of Central Texas’ signature music events, our festival features Americana music — roots, folk, acoustic, jazz, blues, bluegrass, singer-songwriter, gospel, country — from local favorites and award-winning artists from around the world. Three campgrounds provide more than 29 acres of tree-covered parkland for gathering, camping, and late-night jams by the campfire. Eclectic arts and crafts, kids activities, workshops, delectable food, and ice-cold local libations round out the magical experience.

The festival is represented at numerous music events including the International Folk Alliance Conference, the Americana Music Festival & Conference, South By Southwest, the International Bluegrass Music Association World of Bluegrass, and the International Music Festival Conference.

Our Reputation

Widely recognized for our contribution to Central Texas culture, the Old Settler’s Music Festival is considered among the major events that help the region sustain its status as the “live music capital of the world.”

“OSMF has become an elite musical event without sacrificing the community vibe that built it.” (Austin Chronicle, 2019)
