For every artist we decided to catch at SXSW, we decided to review each performance with our own version of “Five Ws and One H” answering the questions: 1) Who are they, 2) What kind of music do they play, 3) When did they play, 4) Where are they from, 5) Why did we decide to catch them play and 6), How was their performance.

WHO: Chloe X Halle are … Chloe and Halle Bailey.
WHAT: Indie Pop with R&B, electronic and folk elements.
WHEN: 3/17/2017 at Youtube at Coppertank.
WHERE: Los Angeles, CA.
WHY: Truth be told, I had the pleasure of catching Chloe X Halle’s performance due to my feet being sore.
HOW: On the 5th day of SXSW, your feet will start to hurt. I must have walked at least 30 miles up to that point, and since I was already at the Coppertank to catch The Lemon Twigs, and with Maggie Roger up next, I decided to stay put and sit on the floor. I had no idea that Chloe X Halle would be performing. I don’t know how I missed that.
Chloe x Halle are signed to Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment label. Their 2016 EP, “Sugar Symphony”, was ranked by Rolling Stone Magazine as the 20th best R&B albums for the year. I even have the single “Drop” in my iTunes.
Their performance was surprisingly polished. These sister aren’t even in their 20s, but their soulful and impassioned delivery spoke to just how much talent they have. The future is bright, and positive, with these two.
Never had I been happier that my feet were killing me.
