A description of the event reads, “Rock legend and SXSW Music Keynote alumnus Neil Young sits down for an interview to discuss his streaming audio brainchild, a high-quality music service called Pono. Young has long been an advocate for studio-quality music in the digital age, and laments the relatively inferior quality offered by the status quo services. Pono, built from the ground-up, is his attempt to remedy this problem, and deliver to the listener the exact, full sounds the artist intends. He is also sure to to share some great stories from his amazing career.”
