Austin PBS and Austin City Limits are excited to continue celebrating our 50th anniversary milestone with our friends at CapMetro. ??????? Through the CapMetro Cares program, we've partnered in creating a very special bus wrap that serves as a moving tribute to 50 years of music. Featuring a diverse collection of amazing artists who appear in ACL's golden Season 50, including Juanes, Jelly Roll, Gracie Abrams, Kacey Musgraves, Gary Clark Jr., Brittany Howard, and Maggie Rogers, we hope you'll see this electric bus rolling around town and be reminded why Austin is the 'Live Music Capital of the World.' Be sure to snap a picture if you spot the ACL bus, and tag us with hashtag #ACLturns50. Thank you to CapMetro President & CEO Dottie Watkins and the great folks at CapMetro for making this possible, and for Austin PBS President & CEO Luis Patino for saying a few words at the big bus reveal last week.??
