SXSW is one of the largest festivals of its kind in the world, celebrating film, music and interactive media in a whirlwind of events spanning several days. Among the hundreds of artists who will be performing at this year's music festival are a few Minnesota musicians who will be making the trek to Austin to play in a handful of showcase concerts. Here is a guide to local Minnesota musicians performing at official SXSW showcases this year and where to find them. Are you an artist playing a day show or unofficial gig? Share it in the comments!

The Current will also be heading down to SXSW this year and we've planned something special! With Noisetrade, we're putting on a four-day party at the Blackheart Rainey Street Whiskey Bar where 45 different acts will be performing. The party will span from March 14-17 and will feature acts such as Hurray for the Riff Raff, Chicano Batman, and Temples, as well as Minnesota artists including jeremy messersmith and Communist Daughter. The event is open to the public, but be sure to RSVP.

As is tradition, The Current will be at the Radio Day Stage at the Austin Convention Center on March 17, where two local acts, Hippo Campus and Lizzo, are featured on the lineup. NPR Music will also be hosting a SXSW showcase at Stubb's outdoor stage on March 15.

If you can't make it down to Austin this year, you can follow the fun at home through photos, live reports, live performance streaming and more across our social media channels. And if you are going to be at the festival, be sure to stop by and say hi!
