Most Dedication to Austin Music So Early in the Morning, 2006

Fox 7 Morning Show

The unsung music-promoting heroes in Austin are Joe Bickett and Katherine Kisiel on Fox Morning News from 5 to 9am. They run the gamut of musicians, from touring bands passing through to emerging new bands, from local legends like Ray Wylie Hubbard to music-related personalities such as Pamela Des Barres. Particularly around South by Southwest (especially the Austin Music Awards, wink) and Austin City Limits Music Fest, they go into high gear, booking the best bands around. What's funniest is to see the bands unloading at 6:30am on Brazos Street, when chances are that they just loaded up after playing a gig a few hours before.
