Hey guys, it's Mags. Today and tomorrow I'm sharing an artist each that I heard for the first time at SXSW. Today is Nicole Atkins. She went on at like 6:30 in the morning on Thursday before The Hold Steady. My friend and I agreed Nicole was our favorite artist of the morning.
"Girl You Look Amazing" starts around 7:15, which she played on Thursday and was in my head most of the rest of the day.

I saw her open for someone at First Ave. Eels?
Yes.
I played her at least once at the old place.
Saw her at the Mercury Lounge out in NYC back 2006, or so. She and her band put on a great show.
