BRITISH MUSIC EMBASSY

We're big British music fans, so every year at SXSW we always stop over at the British Music Embassy.
For its eighth year at Latitude 30, The British Music Embassy is pleased to announce their first official showcase, hosted by BBC Introducing and PRS for Music Foundation.
The whole goal of The Embassy is to introduce new UK talent to US fans, often promoting a variety of genres from brand new baby bands to more established breaking acts.
This year, the BBC Introducing showcase will be Wednesday, March 18th, and will feature these six acts from the UK:
Spring King
SOAK
Blossoms
Gengahr
Little Simz
Jack Garratt
All the bands were chosen by a panel including the PRS for Music Foundation, Radio 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq and Radio 1 DJ and BBC Introducing champion, Huw Stephens.

British singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Jack Garratt recently released a new song called "The Love You're Given" to all digital retailers. The song sampled the voice of acclaimed vocalist Lisa Fischer (20 Feet From Stardom).
Since his debut Remnants EP, he's racked over a million plays and sold out several London shows, thanks to support from Radio 1's influential DJ Zane Lowe, who called Garratt one of his "Future 15 of 2015" artists.
Garratt can be seen touring with Sylvan Esso, heading to SXSW 2015 this year.

Since signing to Rough Trade Records she's released the B A NoBody single in November 2014, the followup to her Blud single on Chvrches' label Goodbye Records.
She recently announced some tour dates:
