The South By Southwest Music Conference proudly announces a very special interview with Stevie Nicks. The ever-evolving Nicks is in the middle of a whirlwind of activity this year. She is the subject of the documentary "In Your Dreams" telling the story of her latest album of the same title, including collaborations with Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. "In Your Dreams" is screening at the SXSW Film Festival. She is also featured in SXSW Keynote Dave Grohl's "Sound City" documentary and singing in a series of shows Grohl is playing with veterans of the famed studio. Later this spring, Fleetwood Mac hits the road for a heavily anticipated world tour. These current projects are the latest chapter in an acclaimed career as a singer, songwriter and icon of rock music.
SXSW 2013 Showcasing Artist Stereo Mike.
SXSW Music features hundreds of international showcasing artists you can listen to on SXSWfm. Today, we are focusing our spotlight on Greek MC Stereo Mike. I’m not going to claim to understand Greek, but music is so much more than just words. Hip-hop in particular is about flow: the flow of the beat, the flow of the MC, and how they flow together. Stereo Mike’s brand of hip-hop is modern, but not obnoxious. The flow is strong. The production is clean. Nothing feels forced. Nevermind the words: Stereo Mike’s music makes you want to dance!
Listen to Stereo Mike and more international SXSW Showcasing Artists on SXSWfm. Stay tuned and check the SXSWfm blog for daily updates 24/7, year-round!
