Moving from the rumored list to the SXSW confirmed list today is Dolly Parton, who confirmed her SXSW appearance on her web site. Added to the rumored list is Eric Clapton, which would please many local guitar slingers. Clapton does have a local connection in Doyle Bramhall II, who plays in his band and is a river city local. Imagine the dustup at the door if he played Antone's!
The SXSW 2008 unofficial band list has grown again, and we are rapidly approaching the 400 band mark. Keep those confirmations and rumors coming!
Primus frontman, and club kingsnake favorite, Les Claypool has announced more dates on his spring tour and though he does not confirm a SXSW appearance, his schedule includes a "mysterious gap" between the Langerado festival and his show in Seattle that would leave him available for a Wednesday or Thursday appearance at SXSW.
