AXS Patio Sessions at Austin City Limits
Taking place at Austin’s historic Studio 6A, the AXS Patio Sessions at ACL touched down in the Live Music Capitol of the World during SXSW for a live concert featuring indie rock heavyweights Real Estate and singer/songwriter Sarah Jaffe.

PERFORMANCE: Watch as Real Estate take the 6A stage for a career-spanning performance.
INTERVIEW: Mixing powerful vocals with stark lyrics, singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe spoke with AXS about navigating the music industry, the hook she wrote that caught the ear of Eminem, and finding joy in the songwriting process.
PERFORMANCE: Sparse and immediate, Sarah Jaffe’s performance at 6A in Austin was a showcase for her commanding vocals and gripping lyrics.
