Boston’s Weekly Dig has teamed up with Converse to produce Boston to Austin, a live music event featuring Boston bands that will take place at South by Southwest on St. Patrick’s Day:

When we met the fine folks at Converse back in October, we were blown away by their local initiatives and their desire to further immerse themselves in the Boston music scene. After putting our heads together and coming up with a lineup of some of our absolute favorite Boston bands who’ve contributed beautifully to the cultivation of the Boston sound, we’ve snagged a rooftop stage right on 6th Street, set the date, booked our flights and figured out set times. We’re a month out, and we can’t wait.
