Austin City Limits Schedule Announced (the show)

text: Colin McLaughlin

35 seasons, 35 years of happy music fans. Is there a better show to stumble upon late night? Especially if you can find it in HD. The show has too many highlights to name, so let’s just get into the meat and potatoes and look at who is going to be on this godsend of a program.

Here is the broadcast schedule for Austin City Limits’ 35th Season:

October 3: Dave Matthews Band
October 10: Ben Harper and Relentless7
October 17: Kenny Chesney
October 24: Andrew Bird / St. Vincent
October 31: M. Ward / Okkervil River
November 7: Elvis Costello / Band of Heathens
November 14: Willie Nelson & Asleep at the Wheel
November 21: Pearl Jam
January 9, 2010: Allen Toussaint
January 16, 2010: Mos Def / K’Naan
January 23, 2010: TBD / Heartless Bastards
January 30, 2010: Steve Earle / Kris Kristofferson
February 6, 2010: Them Crooked Vultures
February 13, 2010: Madeleine Peyroux / Esperanza Spaldin

Some quick notes. 1) Let’s all skip Kenny Chesney. 2) Allen Toussaint is going to be great. I will co-sign as I saw him at Bonnaroo. If you don’t know him, check him out. He’s on a New Orleans funk/soul/r&b kick.  3) Mos Def/K’naan are first hip hop artists to ever appear on the show.  What took so long?

    I too will only be watching Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews and Willie Nelson. I have no need for the likes of Andrew Bird, M. Ward, St, Vincent, Elvis Costello, Mos Def, or any of them other hacks!

    just because Elvis Costello is first half hour, do NOT miss the second half hour on NOV 7… The Band of Heathens are incredible.  Even Josh and Trease will love them.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.
