ACL 2023: Leon III

Sunday at noon. The Moriah Sisters are the 4th band on at this time. Gospel singers playing the Tito's tent. They've done Stubb's Gospel Brunch as well. 

The final choice is this duo out of Austin. Their bio on Youtube says:

Leon III (say it “Leon the Third”) is Andy Stepanian (vocals, guitar, songwriter) and Mason Brent (guitar, bass, banjo) along with a revolving cast of studio and live players...Many know Stepanian and Brent from their other band, Wrinkle Neck Mules, a 19+ year old project with a cult-like following that, to date, has 7 albums of cerebral country and bluegrass-leaning rock under it’s belt. They also collaborate on Howler Brothers, a popular outdoor clothing line based in Austin, Texas, which they help operate and which bears their artistic imprimatur.

They call themselves psych-folk.  "Fly Migrator" has the psych feel for sure. It's almost 10 minutes long. A good mellow way to start the day.

This has a Pink Floyd feel.

That early, the 10 minute instrumental song will put me to sleep. I say we check out the women and possibly start the day with a bloody mary at the tent. Assuming I can get us in there. Happy birthday to me.
