Aaron Irons for THE 11TH HOUR – It’s already been a great year for Marcia Ball. Her latest album, Shine Bright, is a boogie woogie banquest of high-energy original songs as well as a few cuts from some of Marcia’s heroes and contemporaries. She’s as excited as he’s ever been in her 50+ year career. Not only has she been named the official Texas State Musician for 2018, but this fall, Marcia will be inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. Speaking to me from her home in Austin, TX, Marcia took me to school and gave me a history lesson on the Live Music Capital of the World.
