KCRW Announces Lineup For 2018 SXSW Showcases

Los Angeles-based public radio station KCRW has announced the line-up for this year's KCRW Showcases at SXSW, kicking off the convention with two official showcases - Tuesday, March 13, at Elysium, and Wednesday, March 14, at the Radio Day Stage.

Both showcases are open to anyone with a festival badge or wristband (no RSVP required).
