ACL SATURDAY PREVIEW: Local band creates a sense of community among audience
Quiet Company has a unique, high-energy, brassy sound that comes from every member in the band playing multiple instruments. Muse himself has been known to play at least twelve, including trumpet, glockenspiel, banjo, and organ.
The band puts on shows that feel like old sing-alongs. Whether you’re familiar with the music or not, Quiet Company invites the audience to get involved. It’s not uncommon to hear people singing along with the trombone line or putting their arms around their neighbors.
Quiet Company has dominated the Austin music scene, winning ten 2011-2012 Austin Music Awards including Best Band, Best Musician (Muse) and Best Album for their most recent release “We Are All Where We Belong.”
They will be playing on the Austin Ventures stage at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday.
