If you’re anything like me, missing The National on the second weekend of ACL was one of the biggest let downs of the cancelled day. Perhaps The National felt like they needed to make it up to us, because Austin will be included in the band’s (highly) abbreviated string of spring dates. In fact, the band will play, not one, but two shows at ACL Live’s Moody Theater. See the full string of dates at the end of this post. Buy tickets for the Austin shows here.

Additionally, the Grammy nominated band will perform two songs on CBS This Morning on Saturday morning. Was that confusing? Further, the band has also announced a fan contest resulting in a prize giveaway of a $500 AMEX giftcard. All you have to do is cover the band’s song “I Need My Girl” and submit it here: http://americanmary.com/ineedmygirl/. Below you can watch The National’s video for “Sea of Love.”
