Every year bands and artists from all over converge on the wide streets of Austin Texas for the music portion of SXSW for an audience of press, publicists and other industry types. And fans. I've decided to ask a few interesting people why they're making the trip this year.

Every year bands and artists from all over converge on the wide streets of Austin Texas for the music portion of SXSW for an audience of press, publicists and other industry types. And fans. I've decided to ask a few interesting people why they're making the trip this year.

Gudrid Hansdóttir

Where are you from?

I’m from the Faroe Islands and I live in the capital of the Faroe Islands called Tórshavn. Faroe Islands are 18 small islands in between Iceland and Scotland and there are 48,000 inhabitants. We have our own language.

What does your music sound like?

I play folk/acoustic/alternative.

Is this your first SXSW?

I played at last year’s SXSW at Momos.

What are you hoping for out of SXSW?

I hope that a lot of people will come to see my show and that I hopefully will get an invitation to play at another big festival somewhere.

Who’s the most famous people from the Faroe Islands?

Out most famous Faroese artist is Teitur, a singer/songwriter.
