SXSW is a fever dream in the best way. An overstimulating, exhausting adventure of discovery and sound. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of venues and bands and events. I’ve found the best way to navigate it is a delicate balance of intentional wandering and accepting invites from friends that are in bands or work with bands. And that leads to the coolest surprises. Because nothing in the world beats finding great, new music.

With that said, here is a list of my favorite discoveries of . Enjoy

- is rarely wrong with suggested friends or bands - spot on. - Showcase at

- they fu***ng rip. Fast, loud, and dope. Check them out. - Showcase at

- SUCH a fun band. I’m a sucker for live synth too - and then you add Latin beats?? Uhhhh sold.
Put your dance pants on. - and showcase at the Yeti Flagship

- Hilarious with catchy songs like “Vaping in Vegas”. 80’s/early 90’s lite rock vibes with silly songs. Loved it. - and showcase at the Yeti flagship.

- WOW. Happened upon this band from an invite to and … Holy s**t. Killer. Solid, catchy indie rock. “Hello” was (and still is) caught in my head. Go see them (or stream) now. - at

- His music is like him - geniune, warm, and fun. - / showcase at Arlyn Studios

- You guys know I’m a sucker for a mix of twang and fuzz. Caught them briefly last year and super glad I got to catch a show this year at Arlyn Studios. Solid as hell. - / at

- There’s a reason for the buzz. Great songwriter. I always admire solo/acoustic acts that are able to give weight to their lyrics with calm and purpose. He’s impeccable at it. - Arlyn Studios

- Loud, Melodic , and fun as hell - Showcase

- Another band that matches the buzz. Bonus points for the Offspring cover - Showcase.

- Americana on shrooms - good thing

After Dad passed I kept going back and forth whether proceeding with the UK/EU tour was poor or good timing. I put a lot of myself into my performance and at the moment I’m absolutely emotionally exhausted. But on the other hand, I love to play. And it will be great to be back in some of my favorite cities in the world with some of my favorite people.

That’s a long winded way of saying it’s still on. See y’all across the pond in a couple weeks ✌🏻🤍🗺️
