Austin City Limits is shown on the PBS station out of the Quad Cities on Saturday Nights. It used to air at 9 PM, so quite often we’d catch the last few minutes after watching a movie, unless we knew that someone we wanted to see was going to be on. Then we’d either record the show or watch it instead of a movie.
There have been a lot of good episodes featuring John Prine or Jason Isbell or the Avett Brothers just to name a few.
A couple years ago, it was bumped up to an 8 PM start, so we don’t catch it quite as often. Although, tonight by the time we were ready to sit down and watch TV, it was already after 8 PM.
Tonight’s feature artist was Noah Kahan, who I knew a song or two by. I also knew Jodi liked a couple of his songs.
After a few minutes of watching, there seemed to something different about this episode. It was the makeup of the audience.
Apparently, Noah Kahan is popular with the ladies. Every shot into the audience showed rows of females, all singing along.
In fact, you could hear the female voices over the singing of Kahan.
This was news to us. Until last night, I didn’t have a clue what Kahan looked like, and I had never considered his appeal to females.
It was a unique watch. Austin City Limits usually has a fairly even mix of young and old in the audience, the crowds are generally excited for the featured artist, but this was one of the first times that the crowd was quite this active in the performance.
