KUT serving up concerts during SXSW
KUT has big plans for this year’s South by Southwest Music Festival.
Music acts include Justin Townes Earle
Really, really big plans that include music showcases you don’t need a wristband to enjoy.
Stop by the Four Seasons Hotel, 98 San Jacinto Blvd., March 14-17 to see performances by buzzy SXSW 2012 music acts each morning. The cost is $10, which includes a breakfast taco and coffee.
Money collected will go to the Shivers Cancer Center at Seton Hospital.
The city’s NPR affiliate will also serve up a song of the day, which can be heard at 1:30 p.m. daily during the fest. Like what you hear? The selected tunes can be downloaded for free at KUT.org.
