Austin City LimitsOn November 6th, during the week that the Austin episode of “Sonic Highways” aired, Dave Grohl returned to Austin and sat down for a conversation with Austin City Limits executive producer Terry Lickona in the original Studio 6A where ACL began 40 years ago. It was a comfortable setting for both, since it’s also where the Foo Fighters camped out for a week back in March when they were filming the episode and recording one of their new songs. Enjoy!
The powerhouse rock duo of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney make their second appearance on the ACL stage following their recent release Turn Blue, which debuted at #1 on Billboard‘s album chart. The acclaimed rockers made an epic ACL debut in Season 36 showcasing their 2010 breakout albumBrothers. The six-time Grammy winners have since gone on to achieve worldwide critical and commercial success with the landmark 2011 release El Camino and have been unstoppable ever since.
Are you a fan of our Behind the Scenes videos? You know, those clips we post that show what really goes on during an ACL TV taping – like this and this. Those are made by our fantastic videographer Jonathan Jackson, and he has a slightly different idea for our next show. For this Friday’s taping with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, we want to show our viewers what a taping looks like from YOUR perspective – as a member of our passionate and enthusiastic audience. For this piece we want to showcase someone who’s been a fan of ACL for a long time, someone who could even share memories from the original studio back at KLRU. And of course, being a big fan of Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell is essential!
