SOSAFest II was held Saturday March 15th, 2014 at Central Market Westgate in the heart of South Austin, and it was a blast! Great people, great music, just a nice day. Hightlights include the young music fan strumming Dave Scher's guitar for him, dancers filling the floor to shake it to Huerta Culture's sound, The Finest Kind's slamming set, and much more. The music lovers who partied for hours were the real highlight of the show, though, and we thank you all!
The SOSAFest.com website is brand new, and we hope you enjoy it. Check out our flickr page for lots of photos and stay tuned for video from this fun day. A new SOSAFest event will be announced soon! For sponsorship information or other questions, give us a shout. >
Cheers! -BP
