By Ashley FarnieAssistant Music Director South by Southwest 2021 looks different from previous years, as does the music industry in its entirety. The lack of opportunity for musicians to play live shows and interact with fans leaves them at a disadvantage when marketing themselves, but SXSW has worked tirelessly to produce an environment beneficial to industries of all art forms.

By Madison Tyson Assistant Multimedia Director This spring break, I was able to photograph the SXSW 2018 Music Festival for KTSW. While on Sixth St. in Austin.
