SXSW Live Broadcast

Every SXSW, KGSR posts up in the W Austin in downtown Austin to interview and host a variety of artists. The charitable live broadcast has raised over $82,600 benefitting Austin’s Make-A-Wish Foundation, a national organization that is dedicated to empowering and granting the wishes of young children battling life-threatening medical conditions.

Broadcasts CD

KGSR’s Broadcasts CD is one of the fastest selling independently produced CDs in the country. A portion of proceeds benefit local non-profit partners, such as The SIMS Foundation and The Seton Foundation—both addressing healthcare gaps for those in need. To date, KGSR has donated over $3 million through CD sales!

Anniversary Party

KGSR’s Anniversary Party celebrates what KGSR was built on - live music! Every holiday season, the heritage concert raises funds and awareness for The Sims Foundation, a local organization offering low-cost mental health services to the music community.

ACL Broadcast

Every first weekend of ACL, KGSR hosts a live broadcast from Threadgill’s World Headquarters that features live performances and artist interviews. The Broadcast has raised over $21,050 for the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM), an organization that helps Austin’s low income, uninsured musicians attain affordable healthcare.

Woofstock

Woofstock benefits life-saving, pet refuges in the Austin area including The Austin Humane Society, Wilco Animal Shelter, and Austin Pets Alive!. Listeners who come with a donation to the shelters get to see an exclusive performance from a KGSR artist!
