Invisible Children Presents The Silver Series at SXSW

Nada over at Friends With Both Arms has put together a four day street performance series at SXSW this year in honor of the 25th anniversary of the festival and the 25th year of the devastating war in East Africa. The Silver Series will feature 25 musicians and bands including Everybody Taste favorites Vandaveer, Jesse Woods, Lord Huron, Deer Tick and Middle Brother busking in the streets of Austin for the Invisible Children charity. The performances will take place in Republic Square Park, so please go and support a great cause. La Blogotheque will also be along for the ride capturing a few of the performances to video. It's entirely free, though any contribution you can make to the charity would be greatly appreciated. Check below for the entire schedule. If like me, you're unable to make it to SXSW this year, cover your eyes—you don't want to know how many great acts your missing.
