The best of SXSW with musician Jack Grace

The World

This week, Austin, Texas, becomes the epicenter of the world’s most innovative music culture as new and established bands descend on South By Southwest to perform. With only five nights and almost 2,000 acts, deciding who to hear seems like a daunting task.

We get a show-goer’s strategy and hear highlights from some of the festival’s most exciting sounds with Takeaway music buddy Jack Grace.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you.
