Rebelle Road Returns for SXSW 2019

February 26, 2019

Rebelle Road is heading to Texas once again with shows amplifying and highlighting women in the country/roots genres. The California event management company has dedicated itself to women in music and has chosen to use SXSW as a useful tool with their goals. “In 2018, we launched our female-fronted company in Austin with a strong lineup of women; we held multiple events over the year and worked with so many people who were also focused on increasing visibility for female artists,” the trio stated. “So much has now changed and we feel the timing is right to show that equity is possible and also that country music exists everywhere - not just in one part of the United States.” Multiple events are scheduled in various venues across Austin during the week of March 11-15, including Hideaway Kitchen & Bar, Moontower Saloon, Giddy Up s and Maria’s Taco Xpress . All shows are free, and details can be found here.

Performing artists hail from California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas, as well as a few popular international artists. Bands performing include The Adobe Collective, Alice Wallace, Ali Holder, The Artisanals, Bonnie Whitmore, Carolina Story, Charlie Faye & the Fayettes, Curse of Lono, The HawtThorns, Jenny Van West , Nocona, Jeremy Pinnell, Rosie Flores , Sam Morrow, Sarah Potenza , The Small Glories and Xander Hitzig.

“Rebelle Road is part of this movement to seek equality for women, as well as working for those ‘rebels’ who are making music across the country,” the founders stated. “Just as we’re based in California and want people to know about the history and legacy for country music here, Texas and other places across the world have their own roots traditions and sounds.”
