The story

Built in Austin. Eight hundred events and counting.

Vanessa Vaught built Red's Western on years of live-event production in Austin's honky-tonk scene. She's the founder of Double or Nothing Two-Step (named Austin's most popular country-dance company by Texas Monthly; most influential two-step instruction company in Austin, per PBS) and the creator of Where to Two-Step Austin, the daily guide to every honky-tonk in the city.

Guests leave with something personalized that's actually theirs. Picked out in person, styled, branded. That's the part people remember.
