Austin, Texas 78701
On Thursday, March 17th New Orleans invades Austin for the annual SXSW Music Conference and Festival as HBO presents Treme, a special SXSW day party produced by Giant Step. The party kicks off in front of The Ghost Room at noon as musicians, including the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, come together for a second line led by Dancingman504. The quintessential New Orleans art form will weave down to Sixth Street as SXSW revelers join in the fun. The party then moves inside for exclusive performances by legendary New Orleans and Cajun artists including the Pine Leaf Boys, Henry Butler and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, and the evening's headliner Dirty Dozen Brass Band with DJ Paul Craven spinning throughout. Guests will get an exclusive look at the second season of Treme as they enjoy Cajun food provided by Austin’s own Evangeline Café.
The Second Line will be leaving The Ghost Room at 12:00 noon, and returning in time for the opening of the doors at 1pm.
