Best discovery of SXSW

I saw a lot of great music at SXSW. But one performer stood out.

Just after midnight Thursday—making it Friday—I walked in to the Hotel Café showcase at Copa.

I was immediately impressed. No. Amazed is more like it: the woman on stage did in 30 seconds what nobody else did at all night. She blew me away. I had to know who she was.

“Who was that?”

“KT Tunstall.”
