The SXSW® Music and Media Conference is back for its 27th year. Our reputation as the biggest and most anticipated convergence of all things music is being kept alive by our continued effort to offer compelling daytime programming and stellar nighttime showcases.
I love the SXSW Music Conference. In the last 200 years (okay, 24) I've seen amazingness like George Avakian and Quincy Jones trading Miles Davis tales; Ice Cube, cute as a teddy bear, telling stories about NWA life; and one of the guys in GWAR peeing off the back of the stage.
