Quick rundown of some of the must see artists playing at St David’s Sanctuary at SXSW 2019.

Madison Cunningham

Beauty into cliches is a ripping track. Strong Margaret Glaspy vibes. Love it! Can’t wait to see the live show. Playing March 13th.

Willie J Healey

Haunting song writing from Willie puts this straight on my must see list. Have a listen to 666 Kill to see what I mean. Playing March 14th.

Novo Amor

If you loved Bon Ivor’s Holocene, Novo Amor is your man. Sweet folk tunes with auto tune vocal goodness. Playing March 15th.

Celeste

Soulful songstress with some Amy Winehouse esque vocals. Moody tones in the beats & backing fill out the soundscape perfectly. Playing March 15th.

Angie McMahon

Angie “Yells words into microphone”, but does it so well. She’s got a powerful voice. And from Melbourne to boot. Let’s hear it. Playing March 15th.

And that’s just a few favourites, there’s plenty more on stage. I’ve made a playlist of everyone playing over the three nights, check it out and find your own favourites: https://open.spotify.com/user/rrrrrrrj/playlist/2aHckcukaySiADvd84Cxlp?si=QDTfc0XZRGOjEoMBvpkKpg
