Team Bandsintown is headed to SXSW again next year, and along with our annual Big Break Showcase, we want to share a very special panel on independent music. But to make that happen, we need your vote!

The panel "Who Gives A Sh!t About Indie Music?" is made up of peers who built their lives and careers around their passion for independent music. They understand what it means to be indie and care about its future.

Joining the panel are:

• Fabrice Sergent, Managing Partner, Bandsintown

• Tom Windish, Head of A&R and Business Development, Wasserman Music

• Dayna Frank, CEO First Avenue / President NIVA, First Avenue / National Venue Association (NIVA)

• Robby Morris, Creative Director, Secretly Group

Anyone can create or sign into a free SXSW account and vote. Together and with your input, panelists will examine the current state of independent music and explore the obstacles and opportunities that are shaping its future.

Voting ends on August 21st, but we need your vote now!
