FLOODfest isn’t the only SXSW event we’re excited for on March 14. This morning, Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound has announced a label showcase celebrating the blues and the label's extended family, with The Black Keys performing a headlining set where they’ll play songs from their 2021 blues-rock opus Delta Kream. Padding out the lineup is an array of songwriters—many of which were featured on the Tell Everybody! 21st Century Juke Joint Blues From Easy Eye Sound compilation album—including Robert Finley, Early James, Gabe Carter, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, Moonrisers, Eugene Hideaway Bridges (with The Moeller Brothers), and Kenny Brown.

Sponsored by FLOOD, it all goes down at the Mohawk on Thursday night following our FLOODfest day party at the same venue.

The next evening, Easy Eye Sound will also take over Stubb's with a label showcase featuring Hermanos Gutierrez, Shannon and the Clams, Britti, Jon Muq, and the Black Keys.

Keep up to date on the event by following Easy Eye on Instagram, but for now you can see the event’s official flyer below.
