The week of the ACL Music Festival has arrived. Now starts the countdown we are 4 days away from the first note being played. So leading up to the first day I am going cover a few things the first is the Top 5 artists I am looking forward to seeing.
Number 5: Old 97s - I have liked this band for some time but keep missing them when they come though my area until this past Wednesday when I saw lead singer of the band solo at Sam's Burger Joint. It was an incredible show and really got my juices flowing to want to see the full band. They play Saturday at 12:30pm on the AT&T stage.
Number 4: Ryan Bingham - The hottest fastest rising bands coming out of Texas. Ryan has one of the best CDs in the past 2 years and is working on a new one as we speak. I have seen him once and can't wait to see him again. He plays Friday at 6:40pm on the BMI stage.
Number 3: (Tie)Vampire Weekend - Just got turned on to this upcoming band this year. I love their sound and self titled debut album. They play Friday at 2:30pm on the AMD stage.
Okkervil River - I love their album The Stage Names and could be the next Austin band to follow Spoon. They play Sunday at 5:30pm on the AT&T blue room stage.
Number 2: Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band - Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes fame is touring behind his debut solo project. His new album is one of the best albums released this year and I am really looking forward to seeing him live. He plays Saturday at 6:30pm on the AT&T stage.
Number 1: The Racontuers - Jack White and his buddies come to the ACL touring behind another great album Consolers of the Lonely. I saw them 2 years ago at ACL and was blown away, so I am looking forward to another great show this year. The play Sunday at 6:30pm on the AMD stage.
