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”!

Formed in 2010, Ratboys began as a humble duo by Notre Dame Freshman Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan. By 2017, they’d become a fully-fledged four-piece, relocated to Chicago, and were opening for acts like Soccer Mommy and Diet Cig with heaps of critical praise to line their nest (I assume all ratboys build little nests […]
