The biggest event in music this week, maybe this year, has to be South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. With 2,000 acts in just four days there is more music than anyone could possibly digest. In this post I am highlighting a few of the acts planned for this years festival that are new to me but that show incredible potential. Take a few minutes and give these acts a chance….I am sure you will find someone new that you like.
Sleeper Agent
Milagres
Shimmering Stars
Chappo
Milo Greene
Daughter
The Milk Carton Kids
Lost Lander
I am guessing that most of you are like me and will be unable to attend the festival. Luckily for us, National Public Radio will be at the festival to provide us with coverage. If you are interested I highly recommend that you check them out at the following link:

As you look around the NPR site be sure to take advantage of their free download of 71 MP3s from South by Southwest performers. As always, let me know what you think.
