Jane Ellen Bryant: “Easy Mistake” (Live in Studio 1A)

By: Jack Anderson

One of the coolest things about ACL is that it puts local artists on the same stages and in front of the same crowds as the mainstream giants. So it’s great to see that native Austinite Jane Ellen Bryant has finally landed a space out at Zilker for one of her hometown’s most attended events.

The delicate folk-Americana style heard on Bryant’s 2013 debut LP has since evolved into a sassy presence that’s somewhere between Jenny Lewis and Heart, with equally immaculate vocals and guitar. Jane Ellen Bryant plays 1PM tomorrow at the Tito’s Handmade Vodka stage and although Bryant treated us to a new EP last year with Let Me Be Lost, we’re gonna revisit Twenties with her Studio 1A session from all the way back in 2016: “Easy Mistake”!

CAPYAC: “Big CrUsh En3rgY”

The new one from nu-Disco aficionados CAPYAC may be a fall release, but at least here in Austin, it’s more like a last hurrah of a summertime poolside track. And a note to your summertime crush. Smooth and low-key, but incredibly bright and upbeat, CAPYAC once again delivers another instant playlist add.

Wild Heaven: “One To Go”

Austin band Wild Heaven’s “One to Go” dives into the noise that can build up in our heads, from media and the internet to other people’s expectations. The song started with a guitar riff before a circular bass line brought everything together, eventually building into a chaotic outro of layered guitars and megaphone vocals. It’s […]

Andrea Bejar: “Te Vas A Arrepentir (Don’t Hurt Him)”

After the success of her EP’s and rotation on Sirius XM, Mexico City-born, L.A. based singer Andrea Bejar is releasing her debut album In Bloom.

Shannon Hudson: “Black Roses”

The new album from Leander singer-songwriter Shannon Hudson, Cross Stitch, finds him plugged-in. Electric guitars are center stage this time for an album poignantly built around the dissolution of communication, the self-fulfilling prophecy of isolation it creates and perpetuates, and a reckoning with the state of our country and the atrocities wherein. “Black Roses” hits […]

Hazy Waters: “Take Me Home”

London band Hazy Waters takes on the feeling of being stuck inside your own head with “Take Me Home.” The restless alternative track circles around recurring thoughts, the urge to wipe the slate clean, and trying to find a way out of the same mental loop. It’s that feeling of running in circles, hoping the […]
