SESAC showcased several performers during its SXSW 2016 Showcase held at Lamberts Downtown BBQ in Austin. The eclectic event boasted a lineup that included Axel Flóvent, John Grvy, Barns Courtney, The Slow Show, Hunny and Tesla Boy to a packed house.

SESAC also hosted the annual “Green Eggs & Band” Brunch during the SXSW festivities at Austin’s Driskill Hotel. The event drew a gathering of SESAC-affiliated artists, songwriters and publishers along with a plethora of journalists and music supervisors.

SESAC executives were also on hand to participate in six panels throughout the week including the “MRO: What Are They?” panel which offered details on how music rights organizations work and the benefits they offer songwriters, composers and publishers in today’s multi-format landscape.
