On Saturday, March 20, some of the West Coast’s most talented acts will appear together at Club De Ville in Austin, Texas. The South By Southwest “Respect the West” event will include veteran artists DJ Quik, Murs, and Kurupt, and will also feature California acts Jay Rock, U-N-I, Dom Kennedy, and more.
