The gates are waiting for you and ACL Fest is officially underway! So get your fill on festival fun this Friday but if you’re an ACL early bird, a must-see for Saturday is Austin’s Aaron Stephens. The Chicago-born, South Texas-raised producer/multi-instrumentalist shines best on funk-rock guitar and grizzled vocals, as heard on Stephens’ 2014 debut LP Hard Times Straight Lines and again on his sophomore Focus from 2018.
Aaron Stephens clearly has his sights set high with the release of his EP Head 2 the Sky earlier this year, and his transcendent style takes the Vrbo stage at noon tomorrow, but if you don’t feel prepared for Stephens’ set yet, you will after his latest single, “Ready”!
