NASHVILLE, May 17, 2011 - Once again, BMI will pour homegrown cool and indie-bred heat into the eclectic mix at the 10th Annual Austin City Limits Music Festival, slated for September 16-18 in Austin, Texas. Nestled in a shady Zilker Park corner, the BMI stage is a perennial favorite, where crowd surfing is harmoniously followed by two-stepping. Texas’ rich artistic melting pot will be represented by Gary Clark, Jr., Patrice Pike and MilkDrive, while Ha Ha Tonka, Kurt Vile and the Violators, and Bobby Long showcase the multi-regional scope of contemporary music’s roots renaissance. Texas transplants Seth Walker and Tyler Bryant, as well as The Kingston Springs, Leroy Powell, Courtney Jaye and Chancellor Warhol, will reflect Nashville’s deepening talent pool, while Jon Pardi and Hudson Moore offer radio-ready honkytonk, and Beardyman brings sounds from across the pond.
BMI’s stage at the Austin City Limits Music Festival exemplifies the organization’s continued dedication to fostering auspicious new talent. BMI’s layered approach to songwriter development comprises educational, creative and promotional opportunities, including the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre, Jason Blume Songwriters’ and Jazz Composers Workshops; 8 off 8th, Pick of the Month and Acoustic Lounge showcase series; and stages at premier festivals including Lollapalooza, South By Southwest, the Key West Songwriters Festival and the Austin City Limits Music Festival.
