Austin City Limits Season 41 opening sequence

The Austin City Limits season 41 opening sequence focus upon aspects of the Austin culture and lifestyle. Jonathan Jackson, the creator of the opening, has created two other opening sequences for ACL. The first opening put attention onto the Moody Theater (where ACL is taped). The second opening featured signage from around town and scenes from within the studio, interwoven with artists from ACL's 40 year history. For the 41st season opening, Jonathan's intention is to pull from some of the culture in Austin that makes it such a great music city.

The Austin City Limits season 41 opening sequence features scenes from around Austin, including; Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon, Austin Speed Shop, Franklin Barbecue, 5th Street Studios, The Fit Pit Boxing and Fitness Academy, TXRD Banked Track Roller Derby, Southside Tattoo, Cheer Up Charlies, The Broken Spoke, The Skylark Lounge, & Dive Bar and Lounge.

In the tradition of past openings, the season 41 opening includes some of the TV crew members. The street musician, receiver of the ACL tattoo, the lead singer of the band Night Drive, and the patrons within Dive Bar and Lounge are all crew members. The bands featured in the opening are: Night Drive, The Soul Supporters, Hard Proof, The Skyline Wranglers & Two Tons of Steel.
