The ACL Sound and the Jury competition, presented by Dell Lounge, is in its final stages. Passionate music fans made their choice and six finalists have moved on to the final round of the competition. All six bands are preparing for next week’s event in Austin, where they will compete for a spot on the Dell Stage at ACL Fest.
The six finalists are:
60 Tigres Monterrey, Mexico
Good Morning Maxfield Provo, Utah
The Scotland Yard Sale Austin, Texas
The Steps Austin, Texas
T-Bird & the Breaks Austin, Texas
Quiet Company Austin, Texas
The original finalist count for Round 4 was set at five; the fifth spot was too close to call, so a total of six bands made it to the finals. I have attached a document containing profiles of the final six bands.
