Ashdown at SXSW 2019

Ashdown will be on hand at this years SXSW festival held annually in Austin Texas. We have provided the bass rig for The British Music Embassy at Latitude 30. All the bands playing the event will be playing through a trusty ABM rig consisting of an ABM-410H paired with an ABM-115H through an ABM-600-EVO-IV head.

The British Music Embassy returns to SXSW in 2019 for its 12th year and will take over the Latitude 30 venue in Austin, Texas for the week, playing host to some of the most exciting UK talent.

With a wide spread across a variety of genres from brand new grassroots bands to more established artists, these showcases will put a spotlight on the best of new British music and will take place between 10–16 March 2019.

There will be seven night time showcases, six of which are in partnership with AIM, BBC Music, the Department for International Trade (DIT), PPL, PRS for Music and PRS Foundation. A further four daytime showcases will take place throughout the week. The 2019 BRITs Critics’ Choice recipient Sam Fender performs on the evening of Wednesday 13 March.
