Get Into The Spirit with the SXSW Holiday Playlist

With 2000+ artists performing at SXSW each year, we have a large list of accomplished alumni that we take a lot of pride in. We are sharing holiday tunes from some of our favorite SXSW Music Festival alumni and 2019 Showcasing Artists to help spread the holiday cheer.

The playlist begins with recently released songs from 2019 artists Say Sue Me, Gurr, Superbody and The Beths. From there we dive into seasonal jams from alumni like She & Him, DRAM, and Courtney Barnett. Put on our SXSW Holiday Playlist and get busy making your gingerbread houses, throwing your holiday get-togethers, mixing up eggnog, or whatever you do to celebrate the season.
