The South by Southwest Conference is held in Austin, TX and I am very glad to have the opportunity to attend this year.  From March 13th – 18th I will be smiling ear to ear because I will be witnessing talented musicians from all of the world, all day – every day.  I am especially glad to see so many of my favorite Atlanta bands and musicians will be playing sets all around Austin.  I have put together a list of mainly Atlanta showcases and bands.
