On Friday, March 19th, ASCAP presented its annual and critically-acclaimed Quiet on the Set showcase at the SXSW Music Fest, featuring acoustic sets by David Berkely, Adrienne Pierce, Johnathan Rice and Ian Love of Cardia. The show was held indoors at Austin’s famous restaurant/music venue Stubbs, where beer flowed freely and Stubbs legendary BBQ food was served to attendees.

Immediately following the Quiet on the Set showcase, one of SXSW’s most talked-about line-ups was featured on Stubb’s outdoor stage. Performers included Patrick Park and his band, Metric, Snow Patrol, Broken Social Scene, How’s Your News? and The Polyphonic Spree. The buzz bands played to capacity crowds into the wee hours of the morning and gave the audience an unforgettable evening of music under Austin’s big open night sky.
