Couch By Couchwest, the Alternative to SXSW

by Mayer Danzig in Acoustic, Americana, Rock, Videos

While a couple of thousand bands converged on Austin, Texas for SXSW, a few hundred more took over couches, porches and even bathrooms for Couch By Couchwest. Participating artists produced and submitted live performance videos for all to enjoy.

Below are a few favorites from artists like Mic Harrison & the High Score, Doc Dailey, Jo Wymer, Kasey Anderson, Glossary, and Matthew Ryan. See the CXCW site for many, many more.
