- Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have built a huge and loyal following based off their quirky Comedy Central and Adult Swim shows and their surreal off-the-wall sketches. According to the comedy duo, here's what to expect: "It's been 10 years. We are heading out to see our chips across the USA and celebrate the incredible decade of Tim and Eric with a number of new spoofs and goofs, riffs and bits, songs and dances and hope to create memories to last a lifetime." The duo are also heavily involved in the indie rock scene, with Eric directing videos for acts like MGMT, Blonde Redhead, Beach House and Charli XCX, among others.

- Legendary Texas troubadour and one-third of the Flatlanders, Joe Ely, will make his way to the Granada Theater stage on Saturday, June 10. For Texas music aficionados, Ely needs little introduction. For everyone else, he's released over a dozen albums and authored classics like "The Road Goes On Forever," "All Just To Get To You" and "She Never Spoke Spanish To Me." Along with Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the Flatlanders, he has been a part of many other Americana classics. Tickets ($21 to $42) go on sale 11 a.m. Friday, March 24, at granadatheater.com.
- Also at the Granada is John Ondrasik, better known by the moniker Five For Fighting. Best known for his hits "Superman (It's Not Easy)" and "100 Years," Ondrasik is also a man of other talents. He has given TED talks, written hockey blogs for his beloved LA Kings, and penned songs for Josh Groban and the Backstreet Boys. Tickets for the July 11 performance ($49 to $69) go on sale 11 a.m. Friday, March 24, at granadatheater.com. Ondrasik will perform with a string quartet.
- Club Dada has a trio of entertaining shows forthcoming. The first, on April 9, is Small Black, who are making a mini-run through the state of Texas. The Brooklyn-based four-piece excel at making airy, effervescent rock music that filters dark themes through shimmering synths, keys and guitars. Their most recent EP is made up of remixes from last year's Best Blues album, an effort that critics have hailed as one of the year's most interesting listens. Tickets ($12 to $15) are on sale now at dadadallas.com.
- Ten days later on April 19, Mandolin Orange of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, bring their delightful mix of Americana, bluegrass, and country sounds to the Dada stage. Comprising Andrew Martin and Emily Frantz, Mandolin Orange have been riding a wave of critical acclaim and success. NPR called their voices "effortless and beautiful," and Rolling Stone refer to their album, Such Jubilee, as one of the "30 Great Country Albums of 2015 You Probably Didn't Hear." The duo are also regularly featured on the festival circuit, so it will be a treat to hear them at cozy Club Dada. Tickets ($15 to $17) are on sale now at dadacallas.com.
- Finally, on May 8, Mitski brings her articulately crafted indie electronica to Dada. Making her way through Texas on the heels of the successful release of last year's Puberty 2, this show will be an intimate solo affair, which should make the haunting yet inspiring lyrical content of her material that much more powerful and arresting. Catch her before she graduates to larger venues. Tickets ($15) are on sale now at dadadallas.com.
