Lights dim, fog rolling in, the five-piece band Interpol strolled out onto the stage while flood lights illuminated the packed Factory.

It’s been the better part of a decade since musician Eric Martin has performed on a Dallas stage. On April 30, after performing in three bands, several solo projects and a stint in New York City, the Dallas-based singer and songwriter returns to play a special set with an array…
A small, laminated sign hung on the wall behind the merch table. Easy enough to miss amid the various commemorative garments for sale (at, it must be said, eye-watering prices), the breezy note also doubled as a mission statement of sorts: “John says size up for a looser fit.” The…
Given its historic status, it’s fair to say that any concert at Billy Bob’s Texas in the Fort Worth Stockyards is a big show. Each Friday and Saturday night, the massive honky-tonk, pool hall, bull-riding arena hosts the biggest names in country music for over 5,000 fans. If you’re a…
As snotty nose kids on the Haisla Nation reservation in Canada, the Snotty Rez Kids played a lot of basketball and dug graves for their loved ones.

Ever since the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2011 went to a tall, lanky bearded man who accepted the award on behalf of “Bon Iver,” the misconception has persisted that Bon Iver is the solo moniker of that man, singer-songwriter Justin Vernon (a rumor cemented by one of the most amusing SNL impressions of the last decade via Justin Timberlake).
