Iconic television music series Austin City Limits (ACL) announces an exclusive worldwide livestream of singer-songwriter Jesse Welles’ Season 52 taping on Thursday, October 8. The Arkansas folk-rock troubadour and four-time 2026 GRAMMY-nominee makes his ACL debut with his distinctive blend of folk, Americana and rock, showcasing highlights from a prolific run of acclaimed albums, including his latest, Masks Off.

For one night only, fans around the globe can experience Jesse Welles’ Austin City Limits debut live from Austin, Texas. Streaming free exclusively at YouTube.com/AustinCityLimitsTV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT, the livestream offers a rare opportunity to experience an Austin City Limits taping as it happens. ACL’s exclusive livestreams give music fans everywhere a front-row seat to the magic of one of television’s most iconic music stages.

Full episodes are available to stream on the PBS App, PBS.org and the Austin City Limits YouTube Channel.

When you listen to Jesse Welles, you can practically hear the veil between lie and truth being lifted. The Ozark, Arkansas, singer, songwriter and guitarist has emerged as a singular voice in folk and Americana, pairing plainspoken lyrics with rock ‘n’ roll attitude and an unflinching willingness to address the world around him. In 2024, Welles began self-filming performances beneath power lines in the Arkansas woods, capturing the naked intensity of his songwriting on a standard smartphone camera. The performances sparked a grassroots phenomenon, with viral anthems including “War Isn’t Murder,” “The Poor,” “That Can’t Be Right,” and “United Health” attracting millions of followers and nearly one billion total views and streams.

Welles’s breakneck pace has continued: over two years, he released eight full-length albums and dozens of songs, while earning a remarkable four 2026 GRAMMY Award nominations. He was also nominated for “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Americana Awards and received the association’s prestigious Spirit of Americana Award for Free Speech in 2025. He has collaborated with kindred spirits, including Joan Baez, Billy Strings, Mt. Joy, Margo Price and Sierra Ferrell, while his music has drawn praise from Vulture, Rolling Stone, NPR, Billboard and CBS News, which urged listeners wondering whether folk music is still relevant to “take a listen to Jesse Welles.”

His latest album, Masks Off, continues Welles’s tradition of confronting the moment with candor, humor and hope. Produced with Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Sam Barber), the album explores themes of collective unrest, abuse of power, I.C.E. raids and technopagans, while also revealing the introspective and personal side of his songwriting. It pairs these new reflections with studio versions of fan-favorite protest songs that have become staples of his live set. A road-tested performer who logged more than 280 shows in a year, Welles continues to share truths—whether confronting the brazenness of society’s “haves” or offering more intimate reflections on life. “I’m still living where I was living, I’m still doing what I was doing, and I’m still wearing the same jeans that I was two years ago,” he says. “I’m still putting out music as fast as I can write it. I haven’t changed.”

Available only during the live event, the full-set performance livestream offers fans an early preview of Rose’s hour-long Season 52 episode ahead of its PBS broadcast premiere, opening the second half of ACL’s expanded Season 52 in January 2027.

A bold artistic statement embracing transformation, vulnerability and joy, Half Moon finds Rose at the height of her creative powers. Across 10 richly crafted songs, she blends Americana, soul, rock and cinematic pop into an album that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically stunning. Produced by acclaimed collaborators Lawrence Rothman (Amanda Shires) and Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), Half Moon builds on the momentum of Rose’s GRAMMY recognition while showcasing a fearless evolution in her songwriting. From the infectious swagger of “Red Shoes” and irresistible groove of “Weekend Lover” to the intimate reflection of “Gentle Man” and hopeful title track, the album highlights the vocal prowess that has earned Rose acclaim from Variety, which hailed her “a queen among Nashville singers,” and Rolling Stone, which called her “dazzling,” among other accolades.

Rose, who was eight months pregnant when she began creating the album, gives voice throughout Half Moon to the complexities of womanhood, the sacredness of her closest bonds and the thrill and overwhelm of expecting her first child. The trio of collaborators surrendered to a shared creative journey that Rothman sums up as “a year-long wild ride of writing, producing, crying, laughing, babies being born, and dreams coming to life.” Tashian, meanwhile, compares their creative kinship to “a bunch of kids building sandcastles on a beach and just enjoying the sunshine…We were all passengers, and the songs were taking us wherever they wanted to go.”

After more than a decade honing her craft and building a devoted following, Rose earned back-to-back GRAMMY nominations for her acclaimed 2024 album No One Gets Out Alive and her 2025 collaboration with Grace Potter, “Poison In My Well.” She also received an Emerging Act of the Year nomination from the Americana Music Association in 2025, while Rolling Stone named No One Gets Out Alive one of the 100 Best Albums of 2024.

A dynamic live performer, Rose has shared stages with Chris Stapleton, Kelly Clarkson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Heart and Molly Tuttle, among many others. A fixture of the Nashville music community, she has made more than 100 appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and hosts the acclaimed podcast Salute the Songbird, featuring candid conversations with some of her musical heroes.

Post date July 13, 2026

Iconic television music series Austin City Limits is thrilled to announce an exclusive worldwide livestream of breakout British singer-songwriter SIENNA SPIRO’s Season 52 taping on Wednesday, July 15. Making one of the year’s most anticipated ACL debuts, the 20-year-old London-based artist has rapidly become one of music’s most compelling new artists. SIENNA will showcase songs from her newly released debut album, Visitor.

For one night only, fans around the globe can experience SIENNA’s Austin City Limits debut live from Austin, Texas. Streaming free exclusively on YouTube.com/AustinCityLimitsTV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT, the broadcast offers a rare opportunity to watch an Austin City Limits taping as it happens. The full-set performance will be available exclusively during the live event.

The livestream offers fans an early preview of SIENNA’s hour-long Season 52 episode before its broadcast premiere this October on PBS as part of ACL’s expanded Season 52. Episodes also stream on the PBS App and at pbs.org/austincitylimits. Follow @acltv on Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter and TikTok for updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

A show-stopping vocal talent with an uncompromising artistic vision, SIENNA SPIRO transforms deeply personal emotion into something communal and cathartic. Since breaking through in 2025 with the global Platinum certified hit “Die On This Hill,” the singer-songwriter has captivated audiences with soul-baring songs exploring love, loss and vulnerability, pairing her breathtaking voice with a sophisticated blend of soul and symphonic pop.

Though SIENNA has been making music since the age of 10, her rise has been swift. Within month she sold out her first North American headline tour in seconds, earned a coveted BRIT Awards Critics’ Choice shortlist nomination, starred Gap’s holiday campaign, and made her U.S. late-night television debut performing “Die On This Hill” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Critical acclaim quickly followed, with praise from Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NYLON, V Magazine and more, while Variety hailed her as “one of the greatest voices of her generation.” By early 2026, in a testament to the extraordinary power of her songcraft and voice, SIENNA simultaneously landed three singles on the Billboard Hot 100 —”Die On This Hill,” “You Stole The Show” and “The Visitor”—all ahead of the July release of her debut album.

Out now via Capitol Records, Visitor is a striking opening statement exploring the fragility of life and love through lush orchestration, cinematic arrangements, and deeply emotional songwriting. The candid and elegantly crafted collection finds SIENNA collaborating with an elite roster of producers and orchestral composers in legendary studios including Electric Lady in New York, Abbey Road in London, and Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The album earned glowing reviews: Variety called Visitor “a collection rich in heartache and high points … when a woman who sounds like she could huff and puff and blow all our houses down confesses to multiple layers of vulnerability, we stop and pay attention.” Rolling Stone deemed “Mono No Aware” a “Song you Need To Know” and said, “The true constant on the album is that SPIROsounds beautiful. She showed up to sing [with] an intensity that shows how emotionally invested she is in the stories she’s sharing.” SPIN said “[SPIRO’s] music is autobiographical, emotionally charged and arranged in a way that feels like it’s from a bygone era,”while Vogue, dubbed SIENNA a “timeless talent … one of the most in-demand new names in music.”

Following her full-set debut on the Austin City Limits stage, SIENNA will appear at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Newport Jazz Festival, All Things Go, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits Music Festival. After that, she launches her “My House” World Tour, which sold out almost instantly across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, prompting additional dates that also immediately sold out.
