NOLA at SXSW: Louisiana Musicians’ Shows At South by Southwest

[Updated] South by Southwest starts Tuesday, and Louisiana will be well-represented this year at the annual Austin music festival and business conference. The music showcase runs through Sunday, and area performers including Curren$y, Katey Red, Dee-1, MyNameIsJohnMichael, Brass Bed, Lost Bayou Ramblers and more will play alongside American and international bands. If you’re in Austin, here’s how and where you can find music from South Louisiana. Note that for some of the parties, we only know the times the parties start. Those are noted with an asterisk (*). If information’s missing, it’s because we don’t have it, but it’s a safe bet that most non-SXSW events are open to the public for free or a nominal charge.
