When we moved to Austin, TX four years ago we never knew the impact it would have on us.  One of the many joys of this city is its rich love of music.  You can’t live in Austin without meeting or being friends with musicians.  I could give you names of some really great artist that you could hear live before they are big. But that is another post.

Today ACL announced the lineup for this years Austin City Limits Festival in September.  For the past two years we have had tickets.  Last year we learned we could expect Tatum in May right before the festival…that is why Summer couldn’t share the three day event with me.  This year we will have a newborn so we didn’t buy tickets.  But that doesn’t mean I can get excited.  Here are some the bands playing this festival.  If your coming to Austin for the music I would love to hang-out and get at drink.
