SXSW’s closing ceremonies for OEB was curated through a solo acoustic Iron & Wine set that turned into a most magical hour at Central Presbyterian Church tonight. After a couple of new tracks from the upcoming Ghost on Ghost, Sam Beam opened up the rest of the set to audience requests, leading to some brilliant deep cuts (“Lion’s Mane”, “Jesus the Mexican Boy”), a dynamic performance of “The Trapeze Swinger” as the third song of the set and a rare performance of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights”.

Seth Sentry just killed it at Maggie Mae’s. One of the best hip hop sets I’ve ever seen at SXSW.

Devendra Banhart filled the ‘opening slot’ position for Iron & Wine with a beautifully loose set at Central Pres. Banhart wowed the crowd with minimal solo cuts from his bilingual catalog.

Hiatus Kaiyote’s Nai Palm shares her beautiful vocals with the pulsing Maggie Mae’s crowd. Beautiful set from the whole group.

Gold Fields tore up Maggie Mae’s, so much energy.

The Milk Carton Kids deliver the prettiest, tenderest and funniest set of my SXSW at Central Presbyterian Church. An absolutely stunning performance to a packed chapel.

Want to know where breezy Cali pop and blissed out ambience meet? Check out WALL., who are current lulling the Central Pres. crowd into a hushed, engaged mass.

I missed posting this set last night - here’s Little Green Cars bringing their rootsy, rock harmonies to Antone’s Friday night.
