In this episode, host Nikki DaVaughn chats with Lloyd Maines, an influential musician and producer considered to be a part of Austin’s — and Texas’ — musical royalty. From his early days in Lubbock to his iconic performances on Austin City Limits, Lloyd shares his journey and insights into the vibrant Austin music scene. We touch on his unique path to becoming a top-tier musician without formal lessons, his memorable performances with artists like Joe Ely, and his perspective on why ACL TV is integral to Austin's culture. Lloyd also offers valuable advice for aspiring musicians and reflects on his musical legacy, including his impact on his daughter Natalie, lead vocalist for The Chicks.
