Tim McGraw Returns With a Career Spanning More Than Three Decades
For longtime country listeners, McGraw's trip to Austin brings a familiar voice back to one of the country's busiest live-music cities.
McGraw's breakthrough came in the 1990s, with his second studio album, “Not a Moment Too Soon,” becoming the top-selling country album of 1994. Over the decades that followed, his catalog expanded across multiple eras of country music and included songs such as “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Something Like That,” “Don't Take the Girl” and “Humble and Kind.”
His career has also earned recognition well beyond commercial success. The Recording Academy lists McGraw as a three-time Grammy Award winner with 20 nominations, including a Grammy for Male Country Vocal Performance for “Live Like You Were Dying.”
That longevity helps give the Tim McGraw Austin concert a broader appeal. For some fans, the show offers a chance to hear songs connected to years of road trips, family gatherings and country radio. For younger concertgoers, it is an opportunity to see an artist whose career helped shape mainstream country music well before today's streaming era.
49 Winchester Brings Appalachian Roots to Austin
The Sept. 10 lineup is not simply a one-artist show.
49 Winchester, which will appear as a special guest, began in Castlewood, Virginia, where childhood friends Isaac Gibson and Chase Chafin started making music together. The band has since built an international audience with a sound that draws from Appalachian storytelling while blending country, rock and folk influences.
Its rise has taken the group from front-porch beginnings to sold-out shows and international touring. The band's discography includes “Fortune Favors the Bold,” “Leavin' This Holler” and “Change of Plans,” with the latter recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.
That makes 49 Winchester a fitting addition for an Austin audience accustomed to seeing the boundaries between country, Americana, folk and rock blur on local stages.
Timothy Wayne Represents Country Music's Next Generation
Opening the evening's lineup is Timothy Wayne, a Franklin, Tennessee, native who has been building a country music career while also pursuing his education at Louisiana State University.
Wayne signed a major-label recording deal with Capitol Records Nashville and has released songs including “Guy With A Guitar,” “God Made A Country Boy” and his rendition of “Louisiana Saturday Night.” His musical influences span generations, from Waylon Jennings, George Strait and Randy Travis to Dierks Bentley and McGraw himself.
He is also no stranger to sharing a bill with the night's headliner. Wayne previously joined McGraw and Carly Pearce on the Standing Room Only Tour in 2024, giving Austin concertgoers a chance to see an emerging performer continuing to develop on arena stages.
Together, McGraw, 49 Winchester and Wayne give the Pawn Shop Guitar Tour in Austin a lineup that connects established country stardom, modern Appalachian music and a younger artist still carving out his place in the industry.
What Austin Concertgoers Need to Know
The Tim McGraw concert at Moody Center is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 10, with the show beginning at 7 p.m. Central Time. Moody Center is located at 2001 Robert Dedman Drive in Austin. Event times are subject to change.
Fans planning to attend should also review Moody Center's clear bag policy, parking information and event FAQs before heading downtown.

With country acts continuing to make Austin an important tour stop, the Sept. 10 show adds another nationally touring artist to a busy stretch of concerts at Moody Center — and gives local fans a chance to hear three distinctly different stages of country music in a single evening.
