Back from my annual pilgrimage to Austin. SXSW seemed to get back to its roots this year – lack of huge names and more emerging performers. Armed with my camera, here’s how I’ve summed up a few of this year’s artists …
Best New Find – Natalie Prass (made a point of seeing her twice)
Best Swedish Accent – Tove Lo (Tove Stryke was a strong contender)
Bluest Eyes – Rainey Qualley
Reddest Hair – Lauren St. Janes
Most Photogenic – Zella Day (former model)
Most Energetic Performance – Ryn Weaver
Most Photographed – Lenka (this was my ninth time)
Most Twang – Nikki Lane (she’ll be in Seattle in May)
Looking Forward To Seeing The Most – Sam Pinkerton (discovered her music last year)
