KUTX Live at Four Seasons Hotel Austin to benefit the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, March 13-16, 2019
Eclectic mix includes Wyclef Jean, Patty Griffin, Steve Earle and Andrew Bird
Austin, U.S.A, 2019-Feb-27 — /Travel PR News/ — South by Southwest’s longest running event aimed at locals will return next month as Four Seasons Hotel Austin joins together with KUTX 98.9, the Austin Music Experience, for four days of live performances benefiting the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM).
“Austin’s live music scene is a key reason our city is so beloved by locals and visitors alike, but none of that would exist if it weren’t for the hard-working musicians who call this city home,” says General Manager Rob Hagelberg. “HAAM provides much-needed assistance to these individuals, ensuring they remain a vital part of our community for many years to come.”
Now in its ninth year, the Hotel’s annual KUTX Live music series will take place March 13-16, 2019 from 7:00 to 11:00 am daily (8:00 am to 12:00 noon on Saturday). Held in the intimate Four Seasons ballroom, the event features interviews with some of the festival’s most anticipated artists, along with 25- to 30-minute sets.
