By Greg Roth on March 19, 2012@WeRideWhy

Those who have a real passion for music like I do know that Austin, Texas is one of the greatest music cities in the world. People from all over the planet converged for another year of SXSW (South By Southwest). Now, the 2012 edition is in the books.

Several local artists, such as Allen Stone, Pickwick, The BGP, Brite Futures, Craft Spells, The Curious Mystery, Grave Babies, Night Beats, and Witchburn, to name a few, made their presence known to the music-loving masses fortunate enough to attend the week-long conference.

Northwest Critical Sun Recording artists Furniture Girls, Stacy Jones Band, Fox and the Law, Darrius Willrich. Rob Marcus, Sightseer, Seeing Blind, In Cahoots, The Januariez and Alejandro Garcia (NoRey) collectively played no less than 37 shows in 5 days.
