Here’s The Austin Music We Loved Most In 2016

Jonathan Fox Band – Play It Cool

“The Jonathan Fox Band brings a relaxing, indie style that we’re happy to get lost in.”

Otis The Destroyer – Cheetah

“The band’s latest single, “Cheetah,” is a fun and rambunctious track that cuts through the snotty attitude of hardcore punk.”

The Wind and The Wave – Grand Canyon

“The song has a rock edge with hard-hitting drums, making “Grand Canyon” a sure success for the group, as they release consistently good country tunes that stand out from the saturated local scene.”

Caitlin Krauss-Torres – Waiting On The World

“Caitlin Kraus-Torres is an acoustic singer-songwriter in Austin who you need to know!”

The Deer – Do Return

“Do Return” showcases the band’s experimental and drowsy sound. It’s a perfect track for music fans looking to indulge themselves in dream-pop music.”

Jess Williamson – Say It

“Stripping the song down to a few select instruments allows Williamson’s audience the chance to really get to hear her sing, while getting us excited about what’s to come on Heart Song.”

Carl Sagan’s Skate Shoes – Sundance Kid

“Tying it all together are the impassioned, strained vocals from front man and guitarist Jacob Cruz, making “Sundance Kid” a perfect indie anthem for the summer.”

River Jones – Pure

“While “Pure” never boasts its greatness, its sound expresses very subtly that it is truly extraordinary — so much that you may find yourself humming the tune for hours or days to come.”
