ACL Music Festival Rumored Confirmation

While we are still about a month or two away from the ACL line up being officially announced. However over the next few weeks slowly but surely bands will start leaking out. The couple of the first few are two bands from the great state of Texas. They are Kevin Fowler and Eli Young Band this is according to Poll Star.

Eli Young Band is a great band that consists of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones and Chris Thompson. Since their 2005 debut album LEVEL they have gained a lot of steam and have one the fastest growing fan bases in the South. They have been compared to the Jayhawks and Counting Crows. In 2006 they released ELI YOUNG BAND LIVE AT THE JOLLY FOX . Look for a new album in upcoming future. Check them out at their web site or MySpace

Kevin Fowler is one of the top artists in Texas. His 2007 release BRING IT ON was one of the best country albums I heard last year. Known as the king of Rednecks after his first hit “Beer Bait and Ammo” in 2000, while he still embraces and has really capitalized on the redneck label packing out venue after. He is really one of the most underrated songwriters out there because his lyrics sometime seem simple. However his song “Don’t Touch My Willie” is really a song of genius in the fact it has multiple meanings. Check out Kevin's web site and MySpace
