New Orleans artists will ‘takeover’ Willie Nelson’s ranch during SXSW

If you’re in Austin, Texas the second weekend of South by Southwest (SXSW), March 18, you’re in luck. New Orleans artists will “takeover” Luck, Texas for a show featuring artists Cha Wa, Ivan Neville & Friends, The Soul Rebels, Low Cut Connie, Tommy McLain & C.C. Adcock and Big Freedia.

Just outside the Austin city limits, Luck, TX started as a film set property purchased by renowned country artist Willie Nelson for his 1980s film “Red-Headed Stranger.” Since then, the mock Old West ranch has become a hamlet-sized music venue regularly booking major roots, country and indie artists ranging from Jason Isbell to Japanese Breakfast to Modest Mouse.

Now New Orleans is getting its “lucky” break with a multi-performer show of Big Easy talent. The event will also feature a chef-curated food experience presented by the Texas Food and Wine Alliance as well as food vendors from across Texas and Louisiana.

Tickets go on sale Monday, February 13 at 12 p.m. CST here.
