SECOND ANNUAL SHOWCASE OF PHILLY MUSIC IN AUSTIN, TX
Saturday March 17 @ Cream Vintage In Austin, TX

FREE TO ALL. NO BADGES OR RSVPS NEEDED.

For the second year in a row, Philebrity.com and Move To Philly have teamed up to curate a showcase of Philly bands, emcees, and DJs. It’s called Philly Jawn — taken from the neighborhood slang “jawn” which can be, in various circumstances, taken to mean any given proper or improper noun — and you better stand clear, because this is one landmark bill.

On Saturday, March 17, our showcase will highlight some of the best and brightest new acts Philly has to offer in the heart of downtown Austin. Along with our presenting sponsor Uwishunu.com. The Philly Jawn is also brought to you in part by Yaris, Toyota’s fuel efficient, sub compact car and The Metro. And now, the lineup:
