Austin’s Alesia Lani grew up on a steady diet of ’70s soul, ’90s R&B, and hip hop, and all those influences swirl together in her music. She’s a dynamic live performer, and you can catch her around town several times throughout November. She’s helping us celebrate the music of the ’80s at ‘I Want My All ATX’ on Sunday, November 18 alongside A Flock Of Seagulls, Mobley, and more. Lani plays a holiday show at ACL Live on Saturday, November 24 with Bob Schneider, and she’s also at Stubb’s on Friday, November 30. But this week, Lani is taking the mic as our guest DJ. Hear Alesia Lani’s My KUTX on Saturday, November 17 at 6 p.m. or anytime at the bottom of the page.
