If you liked Friday night’s live stream with Gary Clark Jr., come back this Sunday December 2 as Grammy-winning artist Esperanza Spalding makes her return to ACL, as we’re pleased to announce that her taping will be live-streamed in the U.S. at 8pm Central Time. Fans can log-on to ACL’s YouTube Channel to experience the jazz/soul singer/composer/bassist perform live direct from The Moody Theater in downtown Austin.

Esperanza Spalding made her ACL debut back in Season 35, performing tracks from her 2008 breakthrough Esperanza, and wowing an audience largely unfamiliar with her music. Her appearance continues to be one of the most popular ACL encore episodes. She has since gone on to capture the attention of audiences around the globe, leading to her stunning 2011 Grammy win, becoming the first jazz artist to win the Grammy for Best New Artist. Spalding’s dynamic relationship with her acoustic double bass has cemented her presence in musical history as a modern jazz virtuoso with “a light, fizzy, optimistic drive that’s in her melodic bass playing and her elastic, small-voiced singing” [The New York Times].
Spalding’s highly-anticipated return to ACL has her performing songs from her latest release, Radio Music Society. The album represents a celebratory vision of the artists who helped cultivate and inspire Spalding’s career throughout the years. Radio Music Society has received high praise from critics, who hail the album’s “journey through soul, gospel, balladry and big-band swing” [The Times] and “torchy swaggers, world-jazzy guitar grooves propelling smoky saxes, and political songs with only a Hammond organ for company” [The Guardian].
Austin’s own rising star, rock ‘n’ soul phenomenon Gary Clark Jr. makes his highly-anticipated return to ACL this week, and we’re pleased to announce that the taping will be live-streamed in the U.S. on Friday, November 30th at 8pm Central Time. Fans can log-on to ACL’s YouTube Channel and will have the opportunity to watch the guitar slinger perform live direct from The Moody Theater in downtown Austin. The live-stream will webcast the taping in its entirety and the broadcast episode will air February 16th, 2013 on PBS stations as part of ACL’s Season 38.
Gary Clark Jr. has been tearing up Austin stages since he was a teenager, and the twenty-eight year old singer-guitarist recently made a name for himself across the globe with the release of his critically acclaimed major-label debut Blak and Blu. Entertainment Weekly raves, “Every generation has its chosen one and right now, this is Clark’s time.” Austin American Statesman says, “The kid used to be a local secret. Then the rest of the world caught on.” The New York Times hails Clark as “a guitarist of deep magnetism and tremendous feel,” while Billboard calls him a “game-changer” and Spin agrees: “There truly is nobody else like him around.” Known for his blistering live performances, Clark has been on a sold-out U.S. tour flaunting his six-string chops and thrilling audiences with his bold mix of blues, rock, soul and funk.
Clark made his auspicious ACL debut back in Season 33 as part of the Tribute to Bluesman Jimmy Reed, with Jimmie Vaughan and Omar Dykes, impressing his fellow musicians and ACL’s viewers. On November 30th, he takes the Austin City Limits stage to show what he can do with his own music.
