1 Every March, thousands of music fans come together in Austin, Texas to attend South by Southwest — a four-day music festival in which almost 1,400 music acts perform at clubs, parties and showcases throughout the city. For music fans it’s a sonic smorgasbord, for music industry professionals it’s a chance to network—but for everyone who partakes in the non-stop rock and roll action, it’s an opportunity to discover great new music. During the show Jim and Greg will share some of their favorite bands and moments from SXSW 21.
You can also check out last year’s wrap-up.
