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”!

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A]

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless. It simultaneously takes me to a certain sunny side of the 90’s; my old, cozy, West Campus apartment; and some of the best new music I’ve been listening to all year. It’s also something none of us around here can stop listening […]

Maria Taylor: “Never Thought I’d Feel New”

The feeling of being perpetually confined by your own thoughts is ugly and burdensome. When we root for ourselves and finally find ourselves on the other side of the chrysalis, life is colorful once again, and the feeling of mentally reentering and contributing to the world in a meaningful way is unparalled. This sentiment echoes […]

Cure for Paranoia: [Live At Scholz Garten]

The story behind Dallas hip-hop trio Cure for Paranoia is a tender one. Born during a “doomsday roadtrip” following a mental health diagnosis by frontman Cameron McCloud that later found more fuel following the death of McCloud’s mother, grief has been turned into motivation, one McCloud used to rap every day and put it on […]
