Ryan Bingham performs at the SxSW Public Radio Day Stage
March 20, 2015
As SXSW you expect to see just about anything — except, maybe, an Oscar-winner. Ryan Bingham shared the 2010 Academy Award for Best Original Song with T Bone Burnett for "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart.
Though he's done other work for screen — most recently the song "Until I'm One With You" from the FX series The Bridge — Bingham mostly keeps busy touring and making records, including his brand-new fifth studio album Fear and Saturday Night.
Though he's had dark times in recent years, including the deaths of both his parents, 2015 finds Bingham — who's expecting his first child, with his wife, this summer — buoyant and at his best.
