Danton There is no musical experience quite like South by Southwest, the annual conference and festival in Austin, Texas. Calling SXSW overwhelming is an understatement—more than 1,300 acts from the world over will perform on 100-plus stages in venues throughout downtown Austin from March 12-17. Now in its 27th year, SXSW often launches bands that shape the music landscape in the years to come. The festival helped kick-start the careers of Beck, John Mayer, Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse, and every incarnation brings new buzz bands on the verge of a breakthrough. We've selected 11 acts we believe are worth watching. Some are new, some are emerging—all are building careers performing music they believe in.
