I am SO glad that I had the opportunity to see and take so many great photos at the KGSR SXSW Morning Broadcast Concert Series at the W Hotel here in Austin (click here to see a list of each days music line up). For a $5 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & South Texas, folks got to enjoy a tasty breakfast snack and 4-hours of exclusive, live interviews and performances from featured SXSW artists! I was introduced to MANY amazing new (to me) artists and have since drastically improved my music library. Click here to see live video of some of the performances from the concert series.
Loyal KGSR fans… the first, second and third in line every morning!
It’s clear that you had to get there early to get a good seat in this packed house!
