All Our SXSW Artists:

Michaela Anne
Country’s "saving grace” (noisey) delivers the “emotional vocals of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris” (Rolling Stone Country) when she performs the roots-rockers and honky-tonk tunes from her forthcoming Bright Lights and the Fame, out May 13.

Rob Baird
The Jack White-influenced, Memphis-born storyteller performs songs from forthcoming LP Wrong Side of the River, out May 13, an autobiography inspired by his move from Nashville to Austin.

Bonnie Bishop
The Grammy-winning Austin native is a self-proclaimed road dog whose signature rasp drives a dynamic live show. Her sixth album, a soul project produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton), is due May 27 (Thirty Tigers/Red).

Cellars
The North Hollywood-based songwriter presents songs from her upcoming Ariel Pink-produced LP. She crafts introspective club anthems on top of tight drum patterns and swirling constellations of synth keys.

Judy Collins
Coming off her highest-charting album since 1979, the Grammy-winning folk legend performs with frequent collaborator Ari Hest, who appeared on the title track of 2015's Strangers Again.

Margaret Glaspy
ATO’s latest signee plays fierce and raw guitar-driven pop from her new 7” EP, You And I/Somebody To Anybody, out now.

Great Caesar
This Brooklyn-based chamber-rock sextet heads to SXSW for a singularly anthemic set of foot-stomping singalongs with a social conscience.

Green River Ordinance
The rollicking five-piece is set to open for Willie Nelson, honor Ft. Worth and celebrate five years on the Whole Foods rooftop, delivering music from its recent Fifteen, which debuted at #1 Folk, #2 Country and #8 Rock.

Greyhounds
The Austin psych-soul duo combines sweat-drenched R&B with deep-fried funk. The hometown shows will introduce tunes from Change Of Pace, out April 1, an album inspired by ZZ Top, blaxploitation soundtracks and '90s Beck.

The Heavy
On the heels of Hurt & The Merciless, its first LP in four years, the hard-hitting UK quartet comes to SXSW with exhilarating live sets that blend classic rock, soul and hip-hop influences.

Aoife O'Donovan
The "Americana virtuoso" (New York Times) with her "unforgettable voice" (NPR) features songs from her "gorgeous" (Rolling Stone Country) album In The Magic Hour, accompanied by a band that includes Anthony Da Costa and drummer Steve Nistor (Iron and Wine).

Margo Price
Third Man Records' newest signing and first Nashville artist comes to SXSW a week before the release of her debut album, Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, out March 25.

The Quaker City Night Hawks
This gang of sci-fi obsessed ZZ Top superfans goes rogue and careens into a weird, uncanny valley of slide guitars and bottom-heavy distortion pedals to several SXSW showcases, including a Grammy event honoring The Ramones.

Eli Paperboy Reed
The Brooklyn soul singer and his five-piece band preview songs from My Way Home, out June 10, an album inspired by his formative years singing and teaching gospel.

The Roosevelts
The Austin-raised folk-rockers channel the need for personal connection, back it with jubilant musicianship and return home for a performance-packed SXSW in advance of their debut album, The Greatest Thing You’ll Ever Learn, out Apr. 22.

Maggie Rose
Nashville's most “astute” (New York Times) vocalist and Vogue "it girl" joins other DC-native acts, including Grammy-nominated rapper Wale, to showcase her new look and sound and to perform tracks from her forthcoming double-EP set.

RY X
Already an established electronic collaborator, the Australian singer-songwriter plays new songs from his upcoming full-length debut, Dawn, due May 6.

St. Lucia
With its latest release, Matter, this Brooklyn-by-way-of-South Africa five-piece plays razor-sharp synth-pop, including current hit “Dancing on Glass.”

White Denim
The Austin-based quartet plays songs from its March 25 album Stiff (Downtown), a return to the band’s frenetic Texas roots.
