AUSTIN CITY LIMITS
Having showcased artists ranging from Willie Nelson to Sheryl Crow since its premiere in 1976, Austin City Limits champions performers who display exceptional musical and songwriting talents, rather than hemming itself in with music labels. The results are unpretentious and engaging performances by musicians who appreciate the intimate concert setting and straightforward style of production. Austin City Limits presents the best of America's music from country, blues and folk to rock 'n' roll, bluegrass and zydeco.
Inspired by Austin, Texas' burgeoning live music scene in the early '70s, Austin City Limits has featured more than 500 different regional and internationally acclaimed artists on its stage over the years. From B.B. King and Bob Wills' Texas Playboys to Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ray Charles and Leonard Cohen, each new season presents some of the best original music in every music genre. Its ability to consistently present an amiable mix of musical styles makes it a standout among television music programs.
SETTING THE STAGE
To this day, some people think it's taped outdoors. That is not an unreasonable supposition. There is the city skyline in the distance, with the granite dome of the Capitol glowing pink and the white limestone shaft of the University Tower. There are hanging verdant greenery, and the suggestion of stars overhead. All of it is meant to conjure up an idyllic outdoor venue deep in the heart of Texas, under a Lone Star moon.
