G&G at SXSW 2016

In March 2016, Garden & Gun traveled to Austin, Texas, to celebrate South by Southwest (SXSW). G&G took its series of Back Porch Sessions on the road and filmed several talented musical groups throughout the week, including six at Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion, an exclusive event at Nelson’s private ranch. Another festival highlight was the G&G Showcase at St. David’s Sanctuary with an all-star lineup: Aoife O’Donovan, Robert Ellis, Sarah Jarosz, Mac McAnally, John Mark Nelson, and The Roosevelts.
