What? It’s only Thursday?! There’s a lot going on for this year’s SXSW, and it’s really tough to pick favorites from the long list of shows going on (especially those fabulous day shows), but here are a few selections courtesy of the Austin Music Minute that will hopefully get you inspired!
The 12th Annual South By San Jose showcase continues today and goes on through Sunday (from noon to 8 p.m. each day), at the Hotel San Jose and Jo’s Coffee on S. Congress. Today’s line-up: The Tillers, Ruby Jane, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, The Mastersons, Dry The River, John Grant with Midlake, The Civil Wars, Hacienda, Vetiver, The Cave Singers, and special headlining guest Wanda Jackson.
