KUTX Live at Four Seasons 2019

March 13-16, KUTX brought together some of the most anticipated 2019 SXSX Music Conference artists for four mornings of music appreciation and discovery at Four Seasons Hotel Austin. In its ninth year, this annual tradition of early-morning, open-to-the-public broadcasts raised $36,500 for the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM), an Austin-based non-profit organization that provides local musicians with access to affordable health care, with a focus on prevention and wellness.
