AUSTIN, TEXAS – Texas Athletics is thrilled to announce Josh Abbott Band will headline Longhorn City Limits presented by Still Austin Whiskey Co. on Saturday, November 23 prior to Texas Football's regular season home finale versus Kentucky. Located on the LBJ Lawn, rising country artist Mason Lively will kick off LCL prior to Josh Abbott Band taking the stage. Admission is FREE for Longhorn City Limits concerts all season long.

Formed in 2006, Josh Abbott Band has become a beloved staple in the Texas music scene, captivating fans with hits like "Oh, Tonight" featuring Kacey Musgraves, "Wasn't That Drunk" with Carly Pearce, and "Hangin' Around." With their relentless touring spirit and a sound that has evolved into a powerful mix of authenticity and innovation, JAB has earned countless accolades including Texas Country Band of the Year and multiple honors from the Academy of Texas Music Awards.

Josh Abbott Band's seventh studio album Somewhere Down the Road showcases a bold new direction, blending intricate arrangements with the raw vitality of a freewheeling bar band. Produced by the acclaimed Dwight A. Baker, the album features deeply personal songwriting that reflects Abbott's growth as an artist. As the co-founder of the celebrated supergroup The Panhandlers, Abbott's legacy in Texas music is undeniable. With multiple Billboard-charting singles and a commitment to crafting songs with emotional depth, JAB remains a prominent force in country music.

Joining Josh Abbott Band on the LCL lineup is country/Americana artist Mason Lively. A native Texan, Mason grew up in a country music atmosphere, obsessively listening to artists far beyond his years including Willie Nelson, The Eagles, and Merle Haggard to name a few. In 2018, he released his debut album Stronger Ties followed by his sophomore self-titled album in 2021, co-produced by Wade Bowen. Now based in Austin, Lively just released his third and most raw album to date, Burn The Ground. With a wildfire-like fanbase that's growing, thousands of shows under his belt, and the support of his fellow artists and mentors, it's safe to say that Mason Lively is going places in country music and beyond!

"It's been another incredible season of Longhorn City Limits on the LBJ Lawn," said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Folger Family Athletics Director. "We can't wait to have Longhorn Nation join us one more time as we look forward to amazing performances by Josh Abbott Band and Mason Lively to cap off a fantastic lineup all season long."
