(Ben Mallot – “Shoes”)
It’s the pleasant little surprises at SXSW that are special. Last year’s house concert on the outskirt of Austin was unplanned and a highlight of my time in Austin. And while it sounds like an oxymoron here’s the “surprise” must see show this year. In fact it’s not just one show but three days of fantastic lineups at Flipnotics Coffeespace on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
I cherry picked some of the great artists you could see and linked to a few choice cuts, but on any given day/night you could see one of Austin’s local favorites or a surprise out of town act. Here’s who I like Freedy Johnston, Matt The Electrician, Adam Carroll, Dao Strom, Dana Falconberry, Beaver Nelson, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Ben Mallot, and Troy Campbell but your mileage may vary.
If all goes well I’ll rest my tired feet here from 3pm til close on Saturday. Check out the entire lineup after the mp3’s.
I Want It All – Ben Mallot
Lebanon, Missouri – Dao Strom
Famous – Troy Campbell
Minuteman – Beaver Nelson
Rice Birds – Adam Carroll
Love Will Never Leave You Alone – Dana Falconberry
Look Down That Road – Ralph White
