Audience member Ashley Gregg said Monday that Bieber performed two songs, dedicating "Boyfriend" to ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, who was backstage."This goes out to my baby girl," Bieber told a crowd of about 100 people.

The bar was hosting an event for Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun. Surprise performers included Bieber and boy band The Wanted. Cody Simpson, Dan + Shay, Tori Kelly and Rixton, who are among Braun's clients, also performed.

SXSW Music, which will feature Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Willie Nelson and Kendrick Lamar, runs from March 11-16.
