Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

I’m all charged up to go to South By Southwest Music 2003 now that it’s been announced that Daniel Lanois will be giving the keynote this year (hey look, they’ve finally gotten his website together). I’ve bought certain albums based solely on the fact that Lanois produced them, or had a hand in the production.

Add to this the fact that confirmed performers for 2003 include Julie and Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams and Willie Nelson, and you’ve got one very happy me.

No word yet as to whether yours truly will be performing at SXSW 2003 as part of the regular showcases. Usually they use acts like me to plug the gaps in the coffeehouse shows; I figure I’m probably in the will-call pile along with a zillion other hopefuls. Eh, the fact that I was able to get a package out at all is enough of a victory for me.

Oh yeah, and then there’s that whole interactive thing, too.
