Did you know that singer Johnny Mathis is a born Texan? Yep. Born in Gilmer, he clearly broke out of the small town to become a class act around the world for some 50 years. He heads back this way just in time to forgo singing tiresome carols. Well played, Mr. Mathis, well played. The Grammy winner performs one night only at Bass Performance Hall, Fourth and Calhoun streets in downtown Fort Worth, 8 p.m. Tuesday. So help a fellow Texan out with your ticket order—call toll-free 877-212-4280 or visit BassHall.com.
