Ari Lennox Austin City Limits Livestream

Ari Lennox makes her Austin City Limits debut on Tuesday, June 9, performing highlights from her acclaimed album Vacancy—and the full-set performance will be livestreamed worldwide. It's a significant moment for the Washington, D.C. singer-songwriter, whose third album has drawn praise for balancing "jazz-soaked tradition with flashes of unruly humor" according to The Guardian.

Vacancy was recorded over three years and executive produced by longtime collaborator Elite, marking a shift toward greater creative control. Lennox co-wrote every track on the album, weaving together the vocal warmth of classic soul with a modern R&B sensibility that has become her signature. For those who've followed her since Shea Butter Baby, this feels less like reinvention than refinement.

The livestream is free and begins at 9pm ET/8pm CT/6pm PT on YouTube.com/AustinCityLimitsTV or YouTube.com/AriLennox.
