The Wonderful Sounds of Music with the Von Trapp Children, featuring the FWSO Bass Performance Hall	Sun., November 8, 2:00pm more dates/times	Fort Worth	Music Theater Theater - Large
We can't imagine what it's like for a child to have to live up to a famous (or infamous) surname such as Gotti, Trump, Brando or Astaire. Legacies like those come with a lot of baggage, but also a lot of opportunities--take, for instance, the singing siblings Sofia, Melanie, Amanda and Justin.... More >>

Snoop Dogg, Method Man & Redman, Devin The Dude House of Blues	Sun., November 8	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
The return of Method Man and Redman to Dallas came at a bittersweet cost for some concertgoers. In particular, my entourage, who sent me back and forth between the House of Blues restaurant and the concert hall to see if anyone had taken the stage yet, as everyone was glued to the Cowboys...

Crystal Antlers, The Uptown Bums, VIDEO Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios	Mon., November 9	Denton	Music
VIDEO's debut show at Rubber Gloves in July featured one of the best local bills I've caught this year. An album-release show for Teenage Cool Kids' Foreign Lands, the evening also featured Cleburne's Fungi Girls and, more importantly, the phenomenal debut performance by Denton-based... More >>

Tom Russell McDavid Studio	Tue., November 10	Fort Worth	Music
To say that singer-songwriter Tom Russell has led a colorful life is the quite the understatement. Sure, his songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Joe Ely, k.d. lang and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. And yes, he's released around 20 albums since he started playing Vancouver strip clubs... More >>

Pretty Lights, Alex B Granada Theater	Tue., November 10	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
For many an up-and-coming indie music act these days, the best way to get your music noticed is to get a mention on a major music blog. A mention on Pitchfork, Stereogum or even Dallas' own Gorilla vs. Bear is an almost guaranteed avenue to notoriety--and maybe even a little bit of success. But... More >>

Tom Russell AllGood Cafe	Wed., November 11	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
To say that singer-songwriter Tom Russell has led a colorful life is the quite the understatement. Sure, his songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Joe Ely, k.d. lang and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. And yes, he's released around 20 albums since he started playing Vancouver strip clubs...

Dethklok, Mastodon, High On Fire House of Blues	Wed., November 11	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
Depending which metalhead you ask, metal is either being saved or being strychnined by Dethklok, the cartoon band at the center of the Adult Swim show Metalocalypse. On the one hand, the group makes fun of just about everything that made metal cool; on the other hand, they totally shred! The... More >>

Bridges and Blinking Lights, Heart Eyes Open, The Boom Boom Box, Cocky Americans Double-Wide	Thu., November 12	West Dallas	Charity Events Music
Bridges and Blinking Lights straddle that line that divides the area's roots- and Americana-influenced rockers from the pearl-snap crowd. They're definitely not country, but you ain't gonna mistake these guys for Brooklynites. What set them apart from every other boring North Texas... More >>

Son Volt, Peter Bruntnell Granada Theater	Thu., November 12	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
When Uncle Tupelo called it quits way back in 1994, few could have predicted the career paths of the band's two major, alt-country gurus, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy. Soon after the band's breakup, Tweedy started Wilco, and Farrar formed Son Volt. Both bands released stellar debut albums, with... More >>

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Macon Greyson Longhorn Saloon	Fri., November 13	Fort Worth	Music
For a second there at Adair's Saloon on Friday night, the band onstage recalled another country-rooted local product, one also known for its boozy sound, swaggering stage presence and smart lyrics. Nope, Macon Greyson ain't the Old 97's. But, if only for a moment or two this past weekend, the... More >>

RTB2, Here Holy Spain, The Me-Thinks City Tavern	Fri., November 13	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
Manic, the properly named debut release from this local punk trio, opens on a promising kick: There's no musical lead-in, no build-up, just an immediate and crushing launch into the opening track "Trouble Is," as the vocals, bass, guitar and drums all start simultaneously and hit the listener... More >>

Bishop Allen, Darwin Deez, The Noble Chocalatiers Lola's Sixth	Sat., November 14	Fort Worth	Music
Poor Bishop Allen. The band was Vampire Weekend before Vampire Weekend was Vampire Weekend. But though both acts possess the same musical chops, the same intellectualized wordplay and the same ear for white people-pleasing ditties, Bishop Allen never caught fire (or received a subsequent... More >>

Chuck Ragan, Jim Ward, Frank Turner, Audra Mae, Jon Snodgrass, Chad Price The Prophet Bar	Sat., November 14	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
Frank Turner's got something to say. It's apparent in the bite of his words and the gruff roar of his voice. The former U.K. punker led Million Dead for five years before the band dissolved in irreconcilable personal and creative differences. As a result, Turner grabbed an acoustic guitar and... More >>

Jewel and Holly Williams Bass Performance Hall	Sun., November 15, 7:30pm	Fort Worth	Music
Listen up, men. There's nothing more attractive than a beautiful blond woman who can yodel. Yes, yodel. And that's just one of the many talents three-time Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Jewel has to offer. Originally born in Alaska, Jewel Kilcher is the granddaughter of an aspiring... More >>

The Bodega Brovas, MC Astro, Blixaboy, VJ S(eye), Pandaia, more Green Elephant	Sun., November 15	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
Stereo On Strike's Wanz Dover is on pace to digitally release six EPs of his dub-influenced Blixaboy project in advance of a planned June album release for The Geek. They're all available for purchase through Amazon, iTunes, Digital Tunes and Emusic; the album will be released as a CD and... More >>

Section 8 Comedy Ozona Grill & Bar	Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm	East Dallas & Lakewood	Comedy Music
Like any improv troupe, Section 8 has great shows and "meh" shows. But that uncertainty is part of the appeal. A flubbed joke from one performer might lead the guys into a bizarre tangent, or it might just result in merciless onstage ball-busting from the others. Either way, it's usually funny.... More >>
