About

ACL Stage Left:

KLRU, the station that brought you Austin City Limits is kicking off a new web-based music concept, ACL Stage Left. ACL STAGE LEFT's mission is to find the very best, most unique, undiscovered or ready to be re-discovered, passionate music artists and provide them with a strong platform with which to make great art, turning their listeners and our viewers into life-long fans. Beyond capturing live performances, Stage Left will open the door to limitless opportunities to present anything from interviews and behind the scenes footage to incorporating other forms of visual art, experimental music art, short music films, etc – anything that delves further into the story.
