For more than three days, Roosevelt Row will transform into its own version of the West’s most venerable music showcase: South by Southwest. Featuring 60 artists performing at four venues, this roaming festival continues Phoenix’s recent trend of opening audience’s ears with a vast array of musicians, offering a diverse palate for consumption. Transforming from a small front-lawn acoustic showcase last year to a multi-venue extravaganza, South by South Roosevelt is aiming high in showcasing the region’s best talent.
