ACL 2019: Jai Wolf

Friday at 2:30pm.  Electronic dance pop from Long Island.  This is the moniker of Bangladesh-born Sajeeb Saha.  He has produced and re-mixed works from Skrillex and Odesza but his new album is more pop.  Telepathy is a nice electronic instrumental.

He doesn't sing on his songs so I'm not sure who he'll have on stage to perform.  Each song has different singers.  It may just be him behind a bank of computers.

Lose My Mind

ACL 2019: Friday Pilots Club

Friday at 2:45pm on the BMI stage.  I want to see Cherry Glazerr at this time.  We saw her at SXSW at Barracuda outside and she rocked.  Black Pistol Fire is also on at this time.

This is a band out of Chicago signed to Big Machine Records (Midland, ex-Taylor Swift).  Reminds me of Hozier.

Glory

ACL 2019: Flamingosis

Friday at 2pm at the Tito's tent.  The moniker of Aaron Velasquez from New Jersey but now in Brooklyn.  Mellow grooves that would fit on KCRW.

I guess this would be my choice for this timeslot.

A Groovy Thing

ACL 2019: The Aces

Friday at 1:45pm.  We saw this all-female group from Provo, Utah at SXSW in 2017.  They played acoustic at the Whole Foods roof.  I liked their sound then and thought they were good musicians.  Not sure I like their full sound.  A little poppy for me.  I do like the homage to "Heathers" in this video, though.

They're signed to Red Bull Records.  I had to look at what that's all about and they also have Albert Hammond Jr. on the label.  The more you know...

Volcanic Love

ACL 2019: Madison Beer

Friday at 2pm.  Three acts to choose from at this time.  First up is a 19 year-old from Long Island that is backed by Justin Bieber and Island Records.  Pure pop. For the kids.
