On Saturday afternoon, R&B artist Pink Sweat$ drew a huge crowd to the Tito's tent for his 4 p.m. set.
Later in the day, he dropped by Team 360's ACL Fest headquarters for a lively conversation about his music, the origins of his Pink Gang and the unfortunate trend of R&B artists using backing vocal tracks.
