About the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame
In 2014, KLRU-TV, Austin PBS — creator and producer of the legendary PBS show Austin City Limits —
established the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame recognizes legendary musicians and key
individuals who have been instrumental in making television’s longest-running popular music show an
institution. The 2018 Austin City Limits Hall of Fame will celebrate its fifth class of inductees in an all-star
line-up of performances in the fall. Previous inductees include: Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double
Trouble, Townes Van Zandt, Loretta Lynn, Guy Clark, Asleep at the Wheel, Flaco Jimenez, Bonnie Raitt, Kris
Kristofferson, B.B. King, Roy Orbison, Rosanne Cash and The Neville Brothers.
The Austin City Limits Hall of Fame is a historical archive, educational resource and celebration of Austin
City Limits — and the Austin spirit, capturing milestones in the history of the show and celebrating the
performers who have graced its iconic stage. The Austin City Limits Hall of Fame will tell the story of the
show through photos, a timeline/anthology mural and in the near future, an interactive database of vintage
Austin City Limits performances and video footage of interviews, behind-the-scenes and never before seen
performances throughout the decades.
Austin City Limits is proud to announce the newest class of Austin City Limits Hall of Fame inductees:
blues stalwart Marcia Ball, the legendary Ray Charles and pioneering rockers Los Lobos.
The 2018 ACL Hall of Fame inductees will be saluted at a ceremony with all-star music performances
at ACL’s studio home, ACL Live at The Moody Theater in downtown Austin.
This production will be taped to air on PBS stations.

The latest class of inductees features music legends who have given timeless
performances on the Austin City Limits stage.
MARCIA BALL
In a remarkable career spanning 50 years, Marcia Ball—the official 2018 Texas State
Musician—has earned worldwide fame and countless fans for her ability to ignite
a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she takes the stage.
Her rollicking Texas boogies, swampy New Orleans ballads and groove-laden Gulf
Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music lovers all over the
world. Born in Orange, Texas and raised across the border in Vinton, Louisiana, Ball
began piano lessons at age 5, falling under the spell of blues and soul music at
13 after witnessing a performance by New Orleans great Irma Thomas. Moving to
Austin in 1970, Ball led progressive country band Freda and the Firedogs until 1974,
when she began her solo career. Debuting on Austin City Limits during the first
season in 1976, Ball has gone on to appear on the show three more times, and has
released sixteen albums (including 1998’s Grammy-nominated Sing It! with fellow
blues/soul enthusiast Tracy Nelson and inspiration Irma Thomas). Ball has won 10
Blues Music Awards, 10 Living Blues Awards, and is a five-time Grammy nominee.
Her love of the road has led to gigs from roadhouses to the White House, and the
living legend shows no signs of slowing down, releasing her seventeenth album in
2018, the critically-acclaimed Shine Bright (produced by Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin).
RAY CHARLES
Singer, songwriter, pianist, producer and visionary, Ray Charles is one of the
most important and influential musicians in American history. In five decades of
recording, the music of the man nicknamed the Genius encompassed blues, jazz,
R&B, country & western, pop and every permutation in between. His landmark 1954
single “I’ve Got a Woman” combined elements of gospel, jazz and blues to create
what we now call soul. His list of hits is seemingly endless—“What’d I Say?,” “Hit the
Road Jack,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Georgia On My Mind,” “Busted,” “Drown In
My Own Tears,” “I Don’t Need No Doctor,” “Let’s Go Get Stoned” and his immortal
version of “America the Beautiful” are merely the tip of the iceberg. Albums like
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Genius Loves Company, True to Life
and The Genius Sings the Blues are considered classics. With multiple Grammys,
an Oscar-winning biopic (Ray, starring Jamie Foxx), millions of records sold and
everyone from Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Van Morrison to James Taylor, Billy
Joel and Norah Jones citing him as an inspiration, Charles is one of the titans of
American song. His 1980 appearance on Austin City Limits helped break the show’s
talent roster wide open, and his 1984 episode has become equally lauded. Fourteen
years after his death, Ray Charles remains a musical icon.
LOS LOBOS
One of America’s great bands, Los Lobos have carved out their own distinctive
space in a career that’s spanned over 40 years. Formed by David Hidalgo, Louis
Perez, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano in the early seventies in East Los Angeles,
the band started out playing rock & roll, before transitioning to traditional Mexican
cumbia, norteña and corridos. The postpunk explosion in L.A. encouraged them
to shift back to rock while retaining their Mexican-American heritage, giving
them a unique sound in the American underground. With the addition of multi-
instrumentalist/producer Steve Berlin, Los Lobos released a steady stream of LPs
now considered classics, including 1985’s How Will the Wolf Survive, 1992’s Kiko and
2006’s The Town and the City, and scored a number one hit with its 1987 cover of
Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba.” The band’s wide-ranging musical vision and dedication
to expanding their craft has earned widespread acclaim, with over 20 albums, three
Grammy Awards and tours with Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead and U2. Los Lobos
has brought catalog favorites like “Don’t Worry, Baby,” “One Time, One Night,” “La
Pistola y El Corazon” and “Mas y Mas” to the ACL stage six times starting in Season
14, including five headlining slots and as part of the Season 24 Mexican Roots Music
Celebration show.
