Austin Locals, Annabelle Chairlegs, Rock Out at Levitation Festival 2023

Up and coming Austin locals Annabelle Chairlegs kicked off Levitation festival in their hometown this  weekend and set a great tone for the psych fest. Guitarist and lead singer Lindsey Mackin appeared on  stage decked out in colorful striped pants and “candy apple red” shoes, an ode to a song from their 2020  album, Gotta Be in Love.

The band focused their energy on playing tracks primarily from that album and  didn’t hesitate to extend some of their bluesy jams. Mackin’s classic raspy vocals lent a feisty energy to  the crowd, and she dawned a mischievous grin throughout the night as she confidently graced the stage. Mackin is joined by Derek Vaughan Nunez Strahan on bass and Nick Cornetti on drums.

The band’s DIY  roots led them to gain familiarity in the Austin music scene and they definitely put on a worthwhile  performance symbolic of 60’s rock and roll. The crowd was left blushing at the end of the set, and they  were prepped and ready for upcoming artists to share the same stage and more throughout the city. We  highly recommend that you get to an Annabelle Chairlegs show in a city near you as soon as possible!  Don’t miss out!

Easily one of the biggest standouts from Austin’s Levitation Festival, and with that being said, we urge you to give them a spin and check out our photo gallery below to get a taste of what you may have missed.
