SXSW 2010: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
The best feature of SXSW is finding bands that you didn’t already know about; but sometimes in a sea of great new bands (and not so great new bands) you just want to stop and hear a band that you know will be good. And I knew Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings would be good, because let’s face it… when are they not?

Ed Miller & Rich Brotherton Perform @ The Dog & Duck Pub for St. Patty’s Day During SXSW
KUT’s Ed Miller is a staple at the Dog & Duck pub’s infamous St. Patty’s Day Celebration. The deceptively quiet pub right off campus transforms it’s parking lot into a boisterous venue in and of itself featuring artists such as Miller and Brotherton along with KUT favorites-The Gourds. Food and beer stations litter the lot’s perimeter and you can score some pretty fantastic St. Patty’s day swag while celebrating the holiday. I asked Ed to tell me a little bit about his performances with Brotherton.

SXSW 2010: Big Star Tribute at Antone’s
The passing of rock and roll luminary Alex Chilton on Wednesday established a somber tone for this year’s SXSW music conference. At Antone’s on Saturday night, the remaining members of Chilton’s band, Big Star, did their best to celebrate the late Chilton through his songs. Big Star guitarist John Auer described the evening as “the epitome of bittersweet” and noted that the memorial had an air of finality about Chilton’s death that had not occurred to him before the show.

SXSW 2010: Carolina Chocolate Drops @ The Hilton
The South Carolina Piedmont is known for it rich soil, fierce individualism, and maybe most notably it’s bluegrass music. Evolving out of traditional folk songs from the European immigrants that first settled the Piedmont, bluegrass has become one of the region’s and America’s most iconic sounds. Despite it’s continued presence bluegrass remains, for the most part, a traditional form of music. That’s why people pay attention when a trio of black musicians from South Carolina pick up the banjos, fiddles, and mouth harps.

SXSW 2010: Band of Horses
This year I unintentionally stumbled upon the two sides of Band of Horses – and now I don’t know which I like better. Loud and boisterous – quiet and contemplative: both sides done with such purity and joy that it is virtually impossible to say which is better. But both sides also make up the whole of Band of Horses, so maybe you don’t have to choose in the end.
