About the event
South by Cherry Spring (SXCS) is Hill Top Café’s spring break answer to the energy that fills Texas every March during South by Southwest.
From March 13 - March 22, we are a nightly gathering place for musicians, locals, travelers, and music lovers looking for something more personal than the crowded city festival. Each evening brings a different artist to the Hill Top stage, spanning Texas roots music, blues, Western swing, fiddle driven Americana, gospel, and conjunto, performed by musicians whose reputations have been built in dance halls, recording studios, and on stages across the country.
The series reflects the musical world that has long revolved around Johnny Nicholas and the Hill Top community, where visiting players, longtime collaborators, and rising artists share the stage in an atmosphere that often leads to unexpected sit ins and spontaneous moments that only happen when great musicians gather in the same room.
