That. Felt. Good.
Jessie Ware shook up the early afternoon of Austin City Limits Music Festival on Oct. 8 with an ebullient dance bash. In a tight hour-long set, the British disco diva swooped and shimmied across the stage backed by a well-ascoted drummer, guitar and keys and a back-up vocal duo with smooth moves and extravagant pearls. A pair of dancers accompanied her, striking poses to frame her face, hoisting her on their shoulders like a graceful, silver lamé goddess and, at one point, performing a homoerotic tango with each other.

Ware prowled the stage cat-like on “Selfish Love,” took us deep in our feelings with a cover of Cher’s “Believe” and got “freaky deaky,” wielding a snake tail whip and coached the “Beautiful People” through simple choreography.
“There’s nothing quite like a group dance, is there?” she said, before taking the set out with a life affirming version of “Free Yourself.”
Don't miss this dance party if you're out there for Weekend Two. She plays at 2 p.m. on the Honda Stage.
