This is the start of a bunch of SXSW Preview posts that I will do over the next month. The bulk of these are going to be of official showcases but you’ll hopefully get a chance to see more of these bands around town at the day parties. I’ll also be talking about some of these unofficial day parties in the next few weeks.
I’ve written about Steve Poltz so many times that I am out of pithy openers. The guy’s pretty great. Loved him with The Rugburns. Dude’s basically responsible for Jewel. And now as a solo act he is writing clever song after clever hummable song. The new record is produced by Joel Plaskett which is reason enough for me to be excited. “Dreamhouse” is the title track. It’s available here.
Catch Steve Poltz Thursday, March 18 at 12:00 AM at the 18th Floor at Hilton Garden Inn.
