Concerts

Kacey Musgraves wasted little time stating the obvious. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” said the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter early in her 90-minute set Monday night.

It’s been a long two years for The Statler Ballroom. The music venue has been on a hiatus from hosting concerts since COVID-19 first started, but on Saturday, Feb. 12, The Statler welcomed the return of live music in the Ballroom with a bill of acts from the ’90s, headlined by Everclear.

Rising singer-songwriter Patrick Droney is scheduled to kick off his State of the Heart tour with an appearance at the Kessler Theater at 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 11  with special guest morgxn.

On Wednesday night, legendary Orange County skate-punk band Agent Orange played Tulips in Fort Worth.

Nothing beats live music when the weather is nice, and this Valentine’s Day weekend is looking just right for you and that special someone with whom to share a couple seats (or, more than likely, share a really small space standing next to each other) at one of these incredible shows.

Things are different for Randy Rogers these days. It’s a Monday morning when we speak, and the popular country bandleader is still feeling the effects of arriving at his Hill Country home late the night before.

It’s a week of smaller shows in North Texas, save for Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham’s solo performance in Fort Worth this weekend. Over half of the best concerts in North Texas are in Fort Worth this week, two of them at Tulips. The week starts off, however, with two shows…

The last time Tool came through the American Airlines Center, our reviewer was not impressed. The band’s most recent album, Fear Inoculum, had only come out a few months prior, and COVID-19 was still a distant threat. The album divided fans and critics alike. Some praised it as Tool’s most…

“I don’t know what to call it. It sounds like being in love.” Years ago, a friend of mine attempted to describe a new band called The Marías, who at the time were almost untraceable. Their music wasn’t on any streaming platforms, and you couldn’t buy their EPs in stores…

Ezra Furman has a thing about time, dates and places. She remembers Feb. 17, 2017, as a day when “I am shattered, I am bleeding, but God damn it / I’m alive” on “Peel My Orange Every Morning” from 2018’s Transangelic Exodus.

Once again, North Texas shows itself to be a haven of diverse local talent with only two national touring acts making our list this week.

Dallas was treated to a rare live performance by Texas royalty this past weekend when Arc Angels performed at the Echo Lounge on Saturday.

In an evening full of casual grandeur, the most simple sentiment made the biggest impression.Adam Granduciel (the stage name of singer-songwriter Adam Granofsky) and his War on Drugs bandmates had amply demonstrated they were capable of conjuring a mesmerizing swirl of guitars, percussion, brass and keys by the time they tucked into “Living Proof,” roughly a quarter of the way through the band’s two-hour set Friday night at Irving’s Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.

Two words describe the roster of bands we have coming to North Texas this week: spacey and bluesy. That’s not to say that these artists exist in one realm or the other.

It’s hard to fathom, but every so often we get glimpses into the lives of rock stars showing them to be regular, ordinary people, just like all of us non-rock stars.

Looking across the acts playing concerts this week, we can’t help but notice the incredible mix of songwriters we have coming our way.

On Monday, 97.1 The Eagle announced the highly anticipated return of their flagship BFD festival, set to take place on Sunday, May 29 at the Dos Equis Pavilion.

Vibes Texas has a plan to grow and expand in 2022. The independent event curators will be starting the new year off in a big way on Jan. 15 at the South Side Music Hall for their first event of the year.

It’s the first week back to work in the new year, which means that it’s probably already time for you to blow off some steam with some of North Texas’ best live acts – two of them to be precise

2021’s last concert week in North Texas is a big one highlighted with some of the best and brightest local acts from the last year as well as the year’s most anticipated annual festival, Lights All Night, going on Thursday and Friday night.

With many touring acts spending the holidays at their respective homes, this week’s best concerts in North Texas are mostly for the locals.

LeAnn Rimes was back in town and we should all be happy about that. The holiday season is a good time to remember that Dallas has a lot to be thankful for, and two of those things were on display Friday evening when LeAnn Rimes played a Christmas concert at the elegant Winspear Opera House.
