No real surprise there. Knight's a big player in Texas despite his Kentucky base. The critically lauded, raspy-voiced country singer, who employs a fair share of Springsteen influence into his songwriting, seems to play Texas every couple months. And Somebody's Darling, a local favorite for some time now, just keeps drawing bigger and bigger crowds with each performance.

This is a pretty big show for SD, too, the band's last performance in town before on a month-long tour that will take them up the east coast and back down through the Midwest. It's essentially the band's first big tour outside of the state--and something it's been planning since we spoke with the band back in March in the above clip.

As a result, expect this show to serve as a big send-off for the SD crew. And you can be part of it--for free, even. The folks over at the Granada have been kind enough to pass along three pairs of tickets for us to hand out to tomorrow night's show. If you want one of those pairs, just be among the firts three people to email me right now with the words "Farewell" in the subject line. It's that easy. Good luck!
