SXSW 2010 Interview with Danny Ross

Funny story about this guy. It's Wednesday night at SXSW and I'm walking around trying to find the entrance of St. David's Church downtown for a showcase. As I'm walking around the building, this friendly looking guy approaches me and asks if I'm heading to the church as well. I know I took a big chance letting a random stranger just approach me like that at night but it worked out in the end.

So we walk around the church together trying to find this door and he finds out I'm a journalist and I find out he's a musician. After he hands me his CD and business card, I realized that his name is strangely familiar. I tell him this and that's when he mentions that he's playing a day show on Friday at Clive Bar. I RSVP'ed for that show. SPEAK, who I featured for the last issue, is part of the line up. In fact, I had downloaded and listened to the free show sampler which had one of Danny's song days earlier.

What a small world.

So Friday after his set at Clive Bar, we conducted a very brief interview about his music and I mean brief as both of us had other things we needed to rush to.
