I was so excited when OurStage invited me to SXSW to hang out with them during the season two finale of the OurStage Panel. The show combines so many things I love. Live music, truly talented artists, and hot boys wearing skinny jeans singing to me!

The OurStage community is made up of undiscovered artists hungry for exposure, music lovers with insatiable appetites and industry professionals committed to bringing incredible talent to the masses. Together, they’ve created something larger than the sum of its parts – a collaborative environment where truly great artists get discovered.

The Reel, Civil Sound, Eclectic Approach and Bronze Radio Return were the four finalists and all excellent bands. In Austin, the bands had a once in a life opportunity to play in front music industry royalty and I got the chance to catch up with them each right before they went on stage. Some were nervous, some were just happy to be there and all of them knew the stakes were super high!
