Luckenbach is a community within Texas Hill Country approximately 15 minutes from Fredericksburg, known as a popular site for country music performances throughout the year. The small community was nearly a ghost town by the 1960s before it was purchased by folklorist Hondo Crouch, actor Guich Koock, and their wives Shatzi Crouch and Patricia Koock. As governing officials of the town, the pair of couples operated its historic dance hall as a major country western music venue throughout much of the 20th century, hosting acts such as Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Lyle Lovett. Today, the community retains its historic ghost town feel and continues to host live music performances each weekend, including performances by local and regional celebrities.
