SXSW 31: House of Song Showcase at the Ginger Man
Blown by the winds of chance, I took refuge at the Ginger Man the first night of SXSW Music. Clearly, many in the crowd were still still indulging their St. Patrick’s Day itch. Yet out on the patio, a goodly number were primed for the House of Songs unofficial showcase.
So one more band, then on to the next showcase. This was an exceedingly charming Danish act called Leaving a Small Town. Their simple melodies proved contagious, especially one written with Austin’s Matt the Electrician. OK, so pop music is the universal language.
I’ve run across the House of Songs on occasion, but I must pay more attention.
[I’d credit the Leaving a Small Town photo, but my Danish is rusty.]
