The Detroit native made her performing debut with her brother BeBe in 1982 as part of the PTL Singers. Part of gospel’s first family the Winans, CeCe Winans is the best-selling female gospel artist of all time. We’re happy to welcome Parker Millsap to his first Austin City Limits taping. Whether he’s singing about the experience of a gay friend, longing for his evangelical father’s acceptance, or as the King of the Underworld wild with passion, his character-driven songs mine deep wells of joy and despair to create gut-punching narratives that are sometimes hellish, sometimes heavenly, and always human. In the midst of a world fond of condemnation as entertainment, Millsap offers open-armed love of people and their stories. The Very Last Day proves an ideal vehicle for Millsap’s message, delivered via gospel-tinged rock & roll poetry.

Paul and the Broken Bones will also tape a show on November 20, as previously announced.įollowing a triumphant appearance on this year’s Americana Music Festival special, singer/songwriter Parker Millsap makes his Austin City Limits debut in support of his third album The Very Last Day. Austin City Limits closes out a remarkable Season 42 on a high note with the final artist tapings: Parker Millsap on November 9, CeCe Winans on November 20 and Alejandro Escovedo on November 30.
