This Saturday, the heart of downtown was buzzing with a sense of local pride specific to the fifth annual Homegrown Festival. Upon entering through the shut-down stretch of Main Street between Hardwood and Saint Paul, the barrage of sights, sounds and smells were enough to put a smile on the…

Well look at that, the weekend came and went without a single supercell tornado in sight. If you let the old Texas weather fearmongering song and dance get to you, and spent the weekend in the fetal position in your bathtub, waiting for the end of days– you missed out…

Everybody loves a nice feel-good show every once in awhile to kick out the cobwebs and revive the spirit from the doldrums and disappointments of everyday life. However, it is rare and unique to see a concert so positively charged, fueled with such raw passion, and as spiritually and mentally…

This weekender contains a very rare occurrence in which the majority (six out of 10) of notable live music events listed are taking place on Sunday. Maybe Dallas promoters will one day stop their tried and true method of throwing a dart at a wall calendar to pick a concert…

Future Islands are an interesting case. The North Carolina synth-pop darlings are easy enough to read on first impression. Yes, they obviously make records with some approximation of David Bowie’s Let’s Dance in mind.

Between 4/20, Easter, and Record Store Day, we’re celebrating three of the holiest high holidays in one weekend this year. Record Store Day falls on Saturday, and with it comes a huge number of highly anticipated special releases and reissues, and a score of record stores hosting big day parties…

There’s a lot going on that you need to know about before we get hit with a weekend full of high holidays. Easter, 4/20 and Record Store Day are important and all, but that doesn’t mean you should just stay in all week and wait. There’s plenty of fun to…

Dallas, it’s beautiful outside. I don’t have to tell you how necessary it is to get out out of the house and go see some live music this weekend. Lucky for you, AT&T Performing Arts Center is hosting two different outdoor concerts this weekend, so you can soak up every…

Alright y’all, I know you’re still basking in a Springsteen glow from March Madness Festival this weekend, but it’s a new week with new concert picks. Luckily, we’ve got some good stuff coming up. From Bad Sports to Jeff Bridges, don’t stay cooped up this week. The weather might still…
