The Accidentals A "Breakout Act" At SXSW Fest

March 26, 2015

Music industry publisher Billboard has named its seven favorite musical acts from last week's South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas and Traverse City's The Accidentals made the list!

Here's what Billboard staff had to say:
On paper, the Accidentals -- a rootsy trio from Traverse City, Mich. -- seem like a tough pick to click. Until you hear 'em, at least. The group gave SXSWers plenty of chance to do that, with at least 10 shows ranging from an official showcase to day parties, displaying a genre-hopping range of influences and some smart songwriting skills to go with their abundant musical chops. Marshall Crenshaw, a hook-meister himself, is helping the group with new material now, so it'll be no accident when The Accidentals build on the friendships it made down in Austin.
