Austin at SXSW: Marshall Ford Swing Band
The Marshall Ford Swing Band promises good times and good music at their official SXSW showcase this year — 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 17 at Momo’s. Band members Emily Gimble and Jeremy Wheeless shared their thoughts on this year’s fest with us via e-mail.
Describe your sound: Texas Swing, Country. Authentic yet original.
What can SXSW attendees expect at your showcase? Good times and good music.
What other acts are you excited to check out? Erik Hokkanen, Tue. Flipnotics, Black Red Black, Sun. Lamberts.
Are you planning to go to any panels? I plan on attending any and all management and promotional panels I can.
What are some Austin must-do or must-sees for out-of-towners? Take a Walk Around the Green Belt, visit Barton Springs. Take a walk down South Congress there is always something exciting going on down there.
Where do you like to hear live music, when it’s not SXSW? Momo’s, The Saxon Pub, and the Continental Club.
What’s your favorite ‘only in Austin’ thing to do? The best grocery stores in the world are here, visit them. We also have some great Mexican food.
Finish this sentence: ‘Industry folks and visiting bands, while we love having you as guests of our city, please don’t…’ Leave trash everywhere. Refrain from honking your horns. And don’t forget to tip.
