SXSW 2024 is in full swing and I intend to jump into the fray next week with the usual goal of discovering a new favorite artist or band. While I’ve got my sights set on the likes of Gavin James, Otto Aday, and King Nun to maybe add to my storied list of SXSW top picks, I’m also really looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces in Nico Vega, X Ambassadors, Lottery Winners, and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls.
