The 2012 SXSW will feature several Psych Folk/Avant Folk acts. Aside from catching Arborea's showcase on Friday
at Bethell Hall which will feature an arsenal of banjo, banjo-dulcimer, ukulele, harmonium, acoustic and electric guitars...three other recommended acts are Sean Smith, Curious Mystery and Mirel Wagner. Sean Smith, Shana Cleveland of Curious Mystery, and Mirel Wagner are schooled in a Haunting 'American Primitive'/Minimilist Folk Blues style of acoustic guitar playing.
Sean Smith's latest album on the Strange Attractors label 'Huge Fluid Freedom', is a synthesis of acoustic and heavier electric 'Prog' guitar styles.
