Ambassadors of collaboration, they come from all corners of the world….to share music. Countless people travel to Austin each year for SXSW. I’d imagine “for the dream” of being found. Which alone, is profoundly beautiful.
Some claim its the money. Some claim its for the love of art. And while I wont deny those or other claims, Id like to believe that there’s more magic to the stage. Connecting with simply one other person on a personally engaging and emotional level, reminds us that we arent alone. There are other’s that share your love, your pain, your energy and your lack of understanding, and in a single moment, a mirror is broken. You’re no longer alone looking at yourself. You're with the music. In it.
And so I leave you with one of the coolest bands I had the pleasure of meeting personally and filming: Gabby Young and other animals.
Gabby said it best “we’re all in this together”.
