In 2013 though it expanded to two weekends. Saturday, October 6th marked the first of two Saturdays in the 2018 ACL lineup. Featuring […]
Week 1 of Austin City Limits brought a variety of artists and bands to the impromptu music grounds of Zilker Park.

It fascinates me sometimes how artists who have been performing for over a decade still manage to put on a super energetic show and light up crowds of all sizes. The Sunday show at House of Blues was no exception with Spoon, an Austin band formed in 1993, rocking out so hard you’d never guess […]
When you go to an organic show, you will know. The sounds that emanate from the speakers are unlike many sounds that artists can create on stage. They’re pure and soft and create a feeling that I watched change people in their facial expressions, their stance, their attitude. Bonobo and Jeremy Sole put on that […]
