Thanks for the Memories, Frank Erwin Center

Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by longtime Austinite JB Hager, whose voice graced Austin’s morning radio airwaves for more than 20 years, to talk about the iconic Frank Erwin Center. While the building affectionately known as “The Drum” has been mostly demolished, it still holds a special place for many Austinites as the site of arena-worthy memorable concerts, the Harlem Globetrotters, many performances on ice, University of Texas at Austin basketball, graduation ceremonies, and more. We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Austin newsletter.
