BMI Sets Stage for ACL Music Festival 2009
The sounds scheduled to pour off of BMI’s shady stage at the 2009 Austin City Limits Music Festival slated for October 2-4 in Austin, Texas, promise grade-A sonic gumbo. Mirroring the acclaimed diversity of the festival itself, BMI has stacked a stage with rock-n-roll, soulsters, neo-folkies, and musical melting pots who adroitly glean from it all, from the prowling soul-pop of Matt Morris and the contemplative folk-pop of Sarah Siskind, to The Dexateens’ wiry southern rock and Damien Horne’s moody neo-soul.
