To celebrate the South by Southwest Music Festival, Ultimate Ears picked five of the most anticipated acts for March's Artists to Watch music program. Listening to our preview of break-out bands is the next-best thing to actually seeing them steal the show in Austin.

We are honored to debut the solo project of Peter Moren from Peter Bjorn and John. His new album does not get released until April 8th – consider this a SXSW sneak peak. And pay special attention to Liam Finn, his Do It Yourself attitude has landed him major support and critical recognition. He will be in many publications after his SXSW performance.

Next month we will feature artists performing at the Coachella Music Festival. Check back soon for more must-have music.
