Next week is SXSW Music week, and I will make the scene. It’s a whole lot of years in a row for me, and man, this year especially I wish the Music Foggers were coming with. Here is why. WMOT Roots Radio 89.5 is broadcasting the audio back to Nashville from Austin, TX.

We are going to be headquartered at The Backstage at El Mercado, 1302 South 1^st, in the 78704. We will be there Tuesday through Saturday, bringing some 36 bands to you. Like I say, it would only be better with Music Fog supplying the video accompaniment. Lots of friend coming by, and lots of cool new stuff to put in front of you. If you are in Austin, come on by. No badges or wristbands are needed. And the food rocks. Here is the schedule:
