Cotton Jones + ACL Music Festival

My best friend Doug moved to Austin, TX a little over a year ago. I am not pleased he moved away, but it has provided a great opportunity for me to visit several times. Living in Nashville, I have always heard how similar Austin and Nashville are. I guess I can see that in some respects in that they are both state capitals, both large university towns and both have a pretty significant music scene. Anyway, I like Austin. I went to visit Doug a few weeks ago and it just happened to be the same weekend as the Austin City Limits Music Festival. We didn't have tickets so on that Saturday morning we went down and bought some tickets from a guy who charged WAY too much money for them, but it was worth every penny. I was obviously excited about seeing Dave Matthews, Citizen Cope and the Zac Brown band but wasn't prepared for some of the other bands I didn't know. One of the first bands we saw was Cotton Jones. I think they may be my new favorite band. Great and interesting sound and they definitely made standing in the rain worth it! Check them out.
