Thousands of music fans converge on Austin, Texas' capital city and music capital, this weekend for the eighth Austin City Limits Music Festival. Three Nonesuch artists—The Low Anthem, Sara Watkins, and Dan Auerbach—will be among the more than 130 artists, spanning pop, country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, indie rock, hip-hop, and gospel, to take the stage in Austin's Zilker Park over the coming three days.

The Low Anthem will be the first of the three to perform, helping kick off the weekend's festivities with a 12:20 set on the centrally located Austin Ventures stage on Friday. The Austinist previews the set with an interview with The Low Anthem's Jeff Prystowsky at austinist.com.

Sara Watkins will play the same stage later that day, performing at 7:30 PM. The Austin American-Statesman previews that set in an interview with Watkins, in which she discusses the transition from life with Nickel Creek to working with producer John Paul Jones (who'll be playing ACL as well, with his band Them Crooked Vultures) on her recent self-titled solo debut from Nonesuch. You can read that at austin360.com.

Dan Auerbach will also hit the Austin Ventures stage, though not till the festival's closing day, Sunday, at 7:15 PM. The good news is, fans in Austin won't need to wait till then to hear Dan play, though, as he's scheduled to headline an official ACL Aftershow (or rather pre-show?) at Antone's Nightclub the night before. (Bad news: the show's already sold out.) The American-Statesman recently spoke to Dan—the "talented multi-instrumentalist and full-throated singer with a gritty sound and a keen songwriting sensibility"—about the many projects he's been working on of late, including his solo debut on Nonesuch, the "energetic, heavy garage blues album" Keep It Hid. Read the interview at austin360.com.

Houston Press previews Dan's upcoming events with a look back at his South by Southwest set in Austin earlier this year ("a barn-burning good time, with his backing band smoking the club with their overt tightness") and a summing up of the solo album. "Simply put," says the site's Craig Hlavaty, "Keep It Hid is a beautiful album." He singles out the album track "My Last Mistake" as "probably the year's best sad-boy break-up anthem, sounding more like a lost Band B-side than a one-off solo album birthing."
