The folks at SXSW are introducing a free stage this year with concerts that will be open to the general public along with anyone wearing a festival badge.
It doesn't matter what kind of music you like, SXSW has a little bit of something for everyone, and that's absolutely the case for fans of country music.
Garth Brooks didn't get much rest during the recent SXSW music and media festival in Austin. The country superstar dropped a new single, gave an important speech and even surprised fans with a one-of-a-kind intimate acoustic performance.
Garth Brooks doesn't do anything small, so it was only fitting that for his first appearance at Austin's SXSW Music Conference & Festival, he went big— like the size of Texas big.
Garth Brooks treated a group of fans in Austin, Texas to a very special surprise performance on Friday night (March 17) during South by Southwest, turning up at a small club to play a set of songs acoustically in an intimate setting.
Music fans who skipped out on Ray Benson's birthday party on Tuesday (March 14) during SXSW are now kicking themselves for missing a surprise appearance from Willie Nelson.
