Demo Listening Sessions offer a unique opportunity for selected musicians to get direct feedback from seasoned music professionals, those who listen to demos as part of their job.
This year we will only accept digital submissions for these sessions. You must send a direct link to your hosted track (ie, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, etc.) to demolistening@sxsw.com; DO NOT email attached MP3s! New for SXSW 2017, Physical CDs will NO LONGER be accepted at the door.
You must be present to have your music in the running to be heard! Demo Listening sign-in cards will be available at the door.
Programming descriptions are generated by participants and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of SXSW.
