ACL Fest 2011, Day 3

Wow, that was a blur. It seemed to all go by so fast. It was a great festival, saw so many great bands. Sunday was a big one, with something for everyone. I loved Ryan Bingham and Hayes Carll, and I'm not even that much of a country fan. Gomez and Joseph Arthur were also great. I watched Arcade Fire from a ways back, but looks like they put on a great show. The sound was much better for them than it was the night before for Stevie Wonder.

So, expect ticket announcements for next year's fest soon and let the lineup speculation and rumors begin! Now, it's on to Fun Fun Fun, then SXSW.

Old 97's, Blues on the Green, Aug. 3

The 107 degree temps weren't enough to dissuade thousands of Austin music fans from another Blues on the Green. This time it was Old 97's (with opener Suzanna Choffel) bringing the heat to Zilker Park. It was a fun night with great friends and fellow 97's aficionados.

For some additional photos, more amazing than these I shot, check out Scott Wade's site.

During some of the songs, audio went out at times. The heat was just too much for the equipment apparently. But the amps always kicked back in and the 97's didn't miss a beat.
