SXSW 2014’s Music Conference has announced that Buzz Osborne, founding member of The Melvins, will be added as featured speaker at The James Williamson Story: From Rags to Riffs.
Buzz, or “King Buzzo”, will be joining Jack Boulware and, of course, Stooges guitarist James Williamson for the session on Friday, March 14th at 12:30pm in Austin Convention Center Room 12AB. The talk will cover Williamson’s exciting evolution from a young Detroit musician to lead guitarist of the legendary Iggy and the Stooges, finally winding up in a top executive position at Sony.
Buzz is one of the original members of The Melvins, experimental rock trio formed back in 1983. Their most recent album, Tres Cabrones, was released in November 2013, and was highly anticipated amongst fans. Following the release of Tres Cabrones, Buzz announced that he will be touring as solo-acoustic act and releasing his first solo acoustic album this spring via Ipecac Recordings.
