Thank you for being a friend, and for supporting Austin’s incredible music community!

Join us at ACL Live on December 11 for the Sonic Guild Ball, a one-of-a-kind celebration of the exceptional local artists who make Austin’s music scene so special. Inspired by the Golden Girls and their timeless reminder to “thank you for being a friend,” this year’s Ball is all about coming together to celebrate the music, creativity, and community that connect us.

The evening will feature performances from ten of Austin’s best artists as Sonic Guild awards $100,000 in grants to this year’s winners. Nominees include Cormae, LeTrainiump, Andrew Cashen & The Disciples of Creation, Gran Moreno, Judy Blank, J Soulja and more—representing the extraordinary depth and diversity of talent in our local music community. Find the full list of nominees here.

Come dressed in your 80’s evening best for a night of exceptional music, friendship, and community while helping us say thank you to the artists who give Austin its soundtrack.

Every ticket purchased helps fund Sonic Guild’s artist grants, providing meaningful direct support to the local musicians who continue to shape the sound and spirit of our city.
