SXSW for kids: FREE lineup @ Auditorium Shores

It's almost SXSW time. And on the family-friendly lineup this year are a few FREE shows at the Auditorium Shores stage @ Ladybird Lake.

On March 21, check out Atlanta-based Daddy A Go Go, brainchild of former TV news producer (and - don't hold it against him - Sooner) John Boydston. We concur with the reviewer at Nashville Parent magazine in our adoration for Daddy A Go Go's rockin' version of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World."

Same day, same place, catch Joe McDermott, Biscuit Brothers, and Jambo.

There will be food and arts/crafts for sale on-site. What not to bring: No food or drinks - EXCEPT food and beverages made specifically for babies and children under the age of five. (I.e., If you've got a baby bottle or a sippy cup, you can slide on by.)

SXSW music badgeholders can show your credentials for admission to the private Registrants Hospitality Area at Auditorium Shores. You fancy folks get bleacher seating, complimentary snacks, and beer for the grownups.
