Each year, we take the summer months to refine our programming offerings \u2013 this year we have consolidated the music portion of the SXSW Conference into three Music Tracks<\/strong>: Making & Marketing Music<\/strong><\/a>, Music Industry & Culture<\/strong><\/a>, and Touring & Live Experience<\/strong><\/a>. While we still have plenty of great programming additions to come, we’re pleased to announce a Keynote Conversation between Shirley Manson<\/strong> and Lauren Mayberry<\/strong>. Shirley Manson is the lead vocalist of critically acclaimed alternative band Garbage<\/strong> and was recently awarded the NME Icon Award for her accomplished musical career and fearlessness in conversation about the industry. Lauren Mayberry is a singer-songwriter and fronts the popular electronic pop act CHVRCHES<\/strong>. Mayberry has also established herself as an important voice in music by speaking out on the role and treatment of female artists in the music industry.<\/p>\n Considering attending the Music Tracks for the first time in March?
