Mariana and I are heading down to SXSW this year, and I couldn’t be more excited! So much to learn and listen to. I’ve been looking at the bands playing, and I know I won’t get to all of them, but here’s just a few whom I am excited to see play live.
Conner Youngblood
We used Conner’s music in Roadtrip Nation: Season Eight as well as in some of our educational curricula, and he has become a staff favorite.

Bee Vs. Moth
This band has been featured in the series for a few seasons now, and I’ve been wanting to see their project of performing a live soundtrack for a film for a while now. Can’t wait!

Punch Brothers
I’ll say it. I love this band. I grew up around bluegrass music and Punch Brothers has such a great blend of traditional and modern bluegrass styles.

Alabama Shakes
One of my favorite new bands. The soul that comes out in their music is inspiring.

And be sure to let us know if you’ll be there!
