Fast-rising English singer Sienna Spiro will make her debut on the long-running live music series Austin City Limits this weekend. For the hour-long episode, she performed a 13-song set highlighted by her No. 1 UK hit “Great Expectation.” Watch an exclusive clip below.
With her hair up in her signature beehive do and backed by a piano and full string and brass ensemble, the 21-year-old artist delivered a powerful rendition of the heartbreak ballad. Enthralled by Spiro’s voice, her fans sang along to the forlorn lyrics, which were inspired by longing for a man who never showed up for an expected visit.
Premiering on PBS this Saturday, October 3rd, at 9:00 p.m. ET, the episode will also feature Spiro performing other hits from her debut album, Visitor, including “You Stole the Show,” “Die on This Hill,” “The Visitor,” and “Material Lover.” She also did a medley of classic covers: Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle” and Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).”
Austin City Limits airs weekly on PBS stations nationwide, PBS.org, YouTube, and the PBS App. Upcoming Season 52 episodes include performances from Olivia Rodrigo, Ari Lennox, The Red Clay Strays, and Sebastián Yatra.
Spiro is preparing to set out on the North American leg of her “My House” world tour, kicking off on October 13th. Look for deals and get tickets to sold-out shows here (where fans can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code COS20 at checkout).
