Annual Austin Black Fret Black Ball 2022 Gives $250k to Local Artists

by Leave a Comment

Austin Black Fret Black Ball 2022 - American Dreamer

Ever since Black Fret’s inaugural year in 2013, they’ve been supporting the Austin music community in unique and special ways. And the yearly Black Ball, a concert celebration of all things ATX music, is the culmination of a years worth of sounds, stages, and stunning philanthropy. We eagerly await the Black Fret Black Ball every year and hope you consider joining this incredible collective of music lovers as they give money and change lives.

What is Black Fret and the Black Ball?

Austin Black Fret Black Ball 2022 - Darkbird at the 2021 Ball

Started by Matt Ott and Colin Kendrick in 2013, Black Fret’s mission is to support the Austin music community through member-supported grants. Much like an orchestra or theater, members pay yearly dues which are in turn given to the artists. In return for their dues, members are treated to exclusive listening sessions in unique, intimate venues around town. All the artists playing these shows are 100% local and fairly paid.

With that money, Black Fret provides grants to a set number of artists as voted by the members. Every year, the number of members and grants increases. But Black Fret doesn’t cut a check and leaves them hanging. They allocate the funds as needed for studio time, equipment needs, promotion, etc. The organization also provides counseling and membership from an industry leader on how best to spend that money.

This year, Black Fret will award $250,000 in grants to member-selected Austin artists at the annual Black Ball. The event feels like a “concert mix tape”. The Moody stage is split into two sections, each artist gets a side. While artist A is performing, the opposite side of the stage is being set up for Artist B. And back and forth it goes. It’s extraordinary to watch as it always goes without a hitch. 18 of the 20 nominated artists will perform at the event making the Black Ball an incredible showcase of the best of Austin music.

And the Winners of Austin Black Fret Black Ball 2022 Are…

Austin Black Fret Black Ball 2022

On Saturday, December 3rd, the following artists will receive a combined $250,000 to be used to enhance and grow their music careers:

  • Abhi the Nomad
  • Annabelle Chairlegs
  • Aubrey Hays
  • Blackillac
  • Bonnie Whitmore
  • Buffalo Nichols
  • Daniel Fears
  • Graham Weber
  • Indoor Creature
  • Jo James
  • KVN
  • Me Nd Adam
  • Mélat
  • Money Chicha
  • Natalie Price
  • Nik Parr and The Selfless Lovers
  • Pussy Gilette
  • Quentin and the Past Lives
  • Scott Strickland
  • Urban Heat

Sounds Rad. I’m In! Hit Me With the Deets!

Black Ball 2022 takes place on Saturday, December 3rd at the Moody Theater, doors at 6:00 for members. Black Ball is a private event for members, guests, sponsors, and former winners. But if you’re dying to attend, there’s an easy way: become a member! Membership tiers can be found at blackfret.org/join and will grant you instant access to the Ball. Not only do gain access to an incredible evening of music, but your social calendar will also be full for the coming year. I’ve been attending Black Fret events and showcases for years and some of my most treasured ATX music experiences came from those performances.

Whether you sign up as a member or donate to the cause (http://blackfret.org/donate), you’re doing an immeasurable service to the Austin music community and positively impacting the careers of dozens of artists. You can’t call Austin the “Live Music Capital of the World” without a vibrant ecosystem to support that claim and organizations like Black Fret are doing what they can to keep the beat bumping in the ATX.

And in the end, Black Ball is a party. A homecoming where music lovers and artists combine to celebrate an amazing year of creativity, positivity, and musical magic. It’s one of my personal highlights of the year and I hope it becomes one of yours as well.

Weekend One of ACL Festival 2022 in Pictures

ACL Festival 2022 Weekend One in Pictures

ACL Festival 2022 Weekend One in Pictures

Nine stages, three days and nearly 75,000 people a day pressed into the expanse of Zilker Park this past weekend. It was an awesome experience full of impressive musical discoveries, and artists who felt like old friends. Our local music community was well represented and the visiting superstars were no slouches either. Join me as I recap the last three days in pictures and prepare those attending next week for a wild ride ahead.

ACL Festival 2022 Weekend One in Pictures: Day 1 – Friday

Blanketed in cloud cover the entire day, Zilker Park felt drearier than most years (except 2019 when it was 40 degrees during weekend two). But you wouldn’t have known it from the music and the energy in the crowd. Asleep At The Wheel kicked off the festival like they’ve done for 20 years with their brand of downhome country and boogie-woogie twang. Later in the afternoon, Sarah and the Sundays brought a healthy crowd of fans to their feet with a riotous set of good-time jams and exuberant energy. It’s a blast watching bands have fun and Sarah and the Sundays were no exception.

ACL Festival 2022 Weekend One in Pictures: Day 2 – Saturday

The sun was out in full force and so was the heat. Saturday generally draws the biggest crowds and while early afternoon was laid back and chill, after 6:00 Zilker turned into an all out party. Local MC Mamaduke kicked the day off on the Barton Springs stage with wit, charm, and stage presence to spare. Oh, and she slung some incredible rhymes along with it. She felt completely at home on the big stage.

Later on in the day, Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma and Black Pumas fame, blessed the giant Honda stage with his Boleros Psicodelicos. An unreal ensemble of smooth, sultry Latin all-stars, the set lulled the mid-afternoon crowd into a dream like haze. Nearly every song featured a different singer, all flown in from around the world to join the maestro for this rare live set.

ACL Festival 2022 Weekend One in Pictures: Day 3 – Sunday

Sunday featured the largest ATX artist lineup of the entire weekend. Wesley Bray and his group of gospel singers brought some Jesus into Sunday morning while Primo the Alien lit Tito’s Stage on fire with an incredible synthwave set. My photographer and I then dashed across the field to the BMI stage to watch Darkbird demolish the ever-growing crowd with a set full of old favorites and new tunes. Any opportunity to see Kelly Barnes and company rock out is one for the ages.

From there, John and I ran back across the field, back to Tito’s stage to take in a mellow set from Buffalo Nichols. After two hours of power-packed disco, pop, and rock, watching Nicols stand solo on stage and hem beauty from his guitar was a needed change of pace.

Later on the evening, Spoon performed on the Honda stage and nearly every ATX artist in attendance made their way to the set in homage to these local legends. Brett Daniels didn’t disappoint, playing choice cuts from his new album along with beloved favorites. And finally, to close out the Austin portion of Weekend 1, Eric Tessmer closed out the BMI stage with a scorching blues/rock performance full of killer solos and sonic boom.

The People of ACL Festival 2022

As I’ve been saying on Instagram all weekend, ACL Fest isn’t just the music. It’s the people as well. From fun-loving families to the fashion-forward, to friends just wanting to connect and have a good time, the festival is a gathering ground. A chance for people to have a blast on a beautiful day surrounded by world-class music. Hope everyone attending next weekend has a fantastic ACL!
