Sunday at 4pm. After the packed 1pm time slot we're back to slim pickings at 2pm. The only choice is Twin Shadow. The other options are banal love-ballads from ARIZONA and a latin mariachi-inspired band from NYC.
3pm is much better. We've got Bahamas, Parquet Courts, and Elle King. I'm good with any of them.
At 4pm the first choice is Janelle Monáe. Why ACL put this rising artist up against her is ridiculous as her fans would love him. Moses Sumney was raised in California and Ghana and now resides in L.A. His first album won rave reviews and was picked as one of the albums of 2017 by the New York Times. Here's the whole album. He has opened for Solange and Erykah Badu, among others. Here's his NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Very nice. A jazzy Nina Simone feeling. He's playing in the tent, which is perfect for his sound.
Lonely World
