Jo Alice (10pm): Born in Faro, Portugal to a French father and Anglo-Irish mother, she grew up splitting time between southern Portugal and Ireland's west coast. Her multilingual flair (French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, English) shines in poetic lyrics and thoughtful folk-infused melodies—a SXSW standout!
Elijah Ford (11pm): Austin's own California transplant and rock progeny of Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford. Hitting the road at 17 with his dad's Fuzz Machine, he's toured relentlessly, jammed with Gary Clark Jr., and crafts killer tunes as a songwriter-producer.
The Let Down (12am): Straight outta Austin, delivering salty riffs and sweet melodies that'll have you hooked all night long!
