Canadian Music @ SXSW

If you didn't know North America's largest music festival South By Southwest (SXSW) is currently underway in Austin, TX. And if your like me you weren't able to attend. However, thanks to the partnership between Sirius XM and SXSW you can listen to the many great Canadian artists (over 135 of them!) through out the festival. The festivities kicked off with the Canadian Blast BBQ yesterday featuring bands in the banner above. But if you tune into CBC Radio 3 through the day and weekend you will be able to hear Canadian artists as they tackle the stages of SXSW. You can also listen through Sirius XM channel 152 (CBC Radio 3) or 151, which will be playing a little of everything.

Enjoy!
