Quiet Company, Acoustic VIP Party, Sept. 29, 2011

The new Quiet Company CD We Are All Where We Belong is out (and it is stellar, check my review when the Oct Texas Music comes out), and they celebrated with not one, but two, parties. The first, which I was able to attend, was a grand evening of acoustic performances by Austin's best musicians at the ND Austin venue. It was a great night of fun and friends. I sadly had to miss the big formal CD release the next night, also at ND, but I heard it was a rager! Check them out this week at theHAAM Benefit at Whole Foods on Tuesday, or any other time you get the chance.

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.
