During the annual South by Southwest Music and Film Festival, Austin shines and plays host to a vast array of talents. On any given night of the year, you can venture to the legendary Sixth Street or the Warehouse District and take in the multicultural ear candy of blues, country, folk, rock, jazz, Latino, rap and reggae at any venue out of the 100+ that Austin has to offer.
