Piece Description

As we reflect over the past year from the Live Music Capital of the World, what stands out is the live music -- from a spectacular 20th anniversary South by Southwest, to the fifth annual Austin City Limits festival and especially at KUT's own studios. For today's program, we thought we'd share with you what we think are some of the best live performances of 2006. In the next hour, you'll hear from a couple of performers from across the Atlantic, a magical performance of an Austin cult classic by M. Ward. You'll hear some danceable beats from Los Amigos Invisibles, and classic performances from hometown favorites turned national stars Shawn Colvin and Ben Kweller...and much, much more. A full hour of performances "Caught Live in the Act" coming up.

Review of Caught Live in the Act

I am always happy to hear live music, off-key, off-mic, included. This year-end offering of some of the best live performances recorded by KUT is a pleasing, well-produced hour. David Brown hosts in economical style, sharing brief performance or performer details and then standing back to let the music carry the hour. Wasn?t familiar with all the acts, but enjoyed almost all, and glad for the introduction to Los Amigos Invisibles and Ghostland Observatory, both of whom got me bopping at my desk. Probably not for all audiences, but if your station skews young and music is part of your program day, a definite pick.
