SXSW Music 2019: Thursday

Thursday is often a turning point for SXSW and this year was no exception. The weekend schedule is packed with can’t-miss events from day parties to late night secret shows. Bands, industry folks and music fans flood Austin. Thursday’s the last night where things are relatively manageable before everything goes haywire. We managed to catch sets from a few of our must-see acts this year before plans go out the window. From The Beths to The Seratones to Combo Chimbita, the music and performances have not disappointed.

Jeanette D. Moses is out there taking it all in. Read on for photos.
