Austin Music Experience, to connect music fans with some of the most anticipated artists attending the 2016
South By Southwest Music Festival, including White Denim, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, Sweet Spirit
and Hayes Carll, as well as those poised to break out.
The early-morning broadcasts, which take place annually in the Hotel’s Ballroom, are scheduled for 7:00

Each day’s event is open to the public on a first-come, first served basis. Admission is USD 10 per day –
which includes a breakfast taco, KIND granola bar and unlimited coffee – and all proceeds benefit the Seton
Shivers Cancer Center. Guests may self-park in the Hotel garage at a special rate of USD 5 per car.
In the spirit of offering something to everyone, “Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child,” which airs on KUTX 98.9
