Austin Kiddie Limits

The annual Austin City Limits Music Festival kicks off today, and their family-friendly Austin Kiddie Limits lineup is loaded with great kids' bands and performers. The three-day shindig will feature rock & roll from The Jimmies, Uncle Rock, and Mr. Ray; R&B/hip-hop from The Q Brothers and Big Don; bluesy rock from Jambo; and country twang from Buck Howdy.
Over the next few days I'll be posting updates, photo albums, and reviews generously provided by children's music experts and bloggers Bill Childs (www.sparetherock.com) and Stefan Shepherd (www.zooglobble.com). Childs and Shepherd also organized the second annual Family Music Meltdown, a sort of alternative to the official AKL festival that will be held at Austin's Ruta Maya Coffee House Saturday evening, featuring an all-Austin kids' band lineup!

While we wait for the “official” reviews, I have 3 dozen photos and a recap up on our site. The first day of Austin Kiddie Limits was quite fun, but I can’t wait to hear The Jimmies!!!!
