Ep. 14: Our favorite music writers preview ACL Fest 2017

Austin360's Deborah Sengupta Stith and Statesman social media editor Eric Webb hop in to talk Austin City Limits Music Festival security in the wake of Las Vegas, the lack of Latin music acts at ACL fest, their top music picks and changes for this year’s event. Music writer Peter Blackstock sketches out the concurrent histories of “Austin City Limits” the TV show (born in the ’70s) and Austin City Limits the festival (born in the aughts) and how the latter has reshaped the former. From the new silent disco to the “Wine Experience,” KGSR’s Andy Langer joins us to answer the question: Who exactly is ACL for? He also shares his top pick from the lineup, Charlotte Cardin. In our “Advice for Austinites” segment, we answer the questions: “Should you take kids to ACL?” and “Why would you do that?” More info at austin360.com/loveaustin360 and tune in for audio dispatches from ACL Fest’s first weekend on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
