We spent a long-ass time on this comprehensive list of every Austin artist that is officially showcasing at SXSW this year. There are 225 artists in all, loosely grouped into genres, and linked to any OVRLD articles where we can. This doesn’t include the bands from Bastrop, Leander, San Antonio, New Braunfels, Wimberley or Waco that would also be considered Central Texan artists. Hopefully this helps you catch some of the best local talent while you’re in town for the festival.
