The Black Fret (now Sonic Guild) returned to Austin’s iconic music venue, ACL Live at the Moody Theater for an amazing night of music and awards. It was a suave affair with cocktails and Austin-chic attire and a great way to kick off the holiday season.

They gave $260,000 in grants to 20 artists, including: Abhi the Nomad, Annabelle Chairlegs, Aubrey Hays, Blackillac, Bonnie Whitmore, Buffalo Nichols, Daniel Fears, Graham Weber, Indoor Creature, Jo James, KVN, Me Nd Adam, Mélat, Money Chicha, Natalie Price, Nik Parr and The Selfless Lovers, Pussy Gillette, Quentin and the Past Lives, Scott Strickland, and Urban Heat.

The evening was like a mini music festival with so many bands and an amazing mix of genres. Check out all our photos from the event at Austin 101 Magazine. We highly recommend getting involved with Sonic Guild and attending the ball next year to celebrate our amazing musicians in Austin!
