It's an annual pilgrimage: Music industry bigwigs and regular fun-loving music fans rub shoulders in Austin, Texas, at the South by Southwest festival -- where barbecue and the stars of today and tomorrow also converge.
Couldn't get time off from work to join the festivities? No worries: We're bringing a taste of SXSW to you. (Sorry, you're on your own with the Texas spare ribs.) Read about the 25 artists we've selected -- some you may already know and some you should know -- then listen and download free mp3's of their music.
Artist No. 1: Sia
The Deal: Although her hit 'Breathe Me' garnered the attention of television audiences and Starbucks coffee drinkers everywhere, the Australian singer's passionate and peppery vocal style is ultimately what kept people wanting more. A romantic at heart, this blue-eyed blond surely knows how to tug (or tear) those heartstrings.
Sounds Like: Beth Orton,

1. I have been a fan of Sia for the longest of time....ever since she joined in with the band Zero 7. Anyway, I saw her album Some People Have Real Problems at Starbucks. Its a great album..but you can't expect less from Sia.
