Hey Austin music lovers, we've got some seriously exciting news coming out of the ACL world — and no, we're not talking about the festival. The legendary Austin City Limits TV show just announced that Brandi Carlile is their newest Hall of Fame inductee, and honestly, could there be a more deserving pick?
If you haven't caught a Brandi Carlile show live, you're genuinely missing one of the most powerful voices in modern Americana and folk rock. This woman has been pouring her heart out on stages for years, and getting recognized by Austin City Limits — one of the longest-running music programs in TV history — is a massive honor that feels completely earned.
For those who love digging into Austin's deep musical roots, the ACL Hall of Fame is a pretty big deal. It celebrates artists who have left a real mark on the show and on American music as a whole. Brandi fits right in alongside the legends who came before her.
This is a great reminder to keep your eyes on the ACL schedule over at the KLRU studios on the UT campus. If Brandi makes any local appearances tied to this honor, you're going to want to be in that room. Trust us on this one. Keep checking back with us at Austin Hangout for updates on any related events, screenings, or celebrations happening around town — because when Austin music history gets made, we want you there for it.
