Texas’ own Mickey Guyton and Mexican singer-songwriter Carín León share the hour on the latest episode of Austin City Limits. Preview the installment of the legendary live music television show premiering on Saturday, January 25 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT as part of ACL’s milestone Season 50 on PBS (check local listings) by watching a performance from each artist’s debut on the program below.
Mickey Guyton focuses her seven-song appearance on material from her critically-acclaimed 2024 studio album House On Fire. The trailblazing musician also performs cuts from her breakthrough 2021 LP, Remember Her Name, which led to her making history by becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for the Best Country Solo Performance Grammy.
Guyton wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs featured on House On Fire, her sophomore full-length studio album. One of the record’s many highlights is the anthemic title track. Mickey Guyton took inspiration from mental health for the song, including on the gut punch of the lyric “Can you love me when things are really bad/When I’m in flames?”
Watch Mickey Guyton perform “House On Fire” on this weekend’s episode of Austin City Limits:
Carín León had a massive 2024 in which he drew raves for a set at the Grand Ole Opry sung entirely in Spanish and became the first Latin artist to take the stage at both Coachella and Stagecoach. The gifted vocalist also released the genre-defying studio album Boca Chueca, Vol. 1, which is up for a 2025 Grammy in the Best Musica Mexicana Album category.
León was backed by an 18-piece band for his ACL debut including a full brass section, accordion, piano, acoustic, electric, requinto and steel guitar. The native of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico delivered seven songs for his portion of the new episode mixing material from Boca Chueca, Vol. 1 and his 2023 breakout LP Colmillo De Leche.
See Carín León pour his heart into “Despídase Bien” on the ACL stage below:
