Untapped Festival
Saturday, September 8, at Trinity Groves Park
It's hard to tell what the biggest draw will be at Saturday's Untapped Festival. It's a music/beer festival that pairs bands like Givers, The Antlers, Akron/Family, Blackstone Rangers, Burning Hotels and many more with beers like Dogfish Head, Oskar Blues, Ommegang and Chimay. Whatever it is that draws you, you're likely to find something new to try out.
Quaker City Night Hawks, Glen Farris
Thursday, September 6, at AT&T Performing Arts Center
It's the first Patio Sessions date of the fall, even though it's still a blazing 100 degrees out. Patio Sessions is a free outdoor show that features local bands on the Winspear lawn. Grab a six pack and some food truck money and relax. Starts at 5:30 p.m.
Rubber Gloves Free Week
Thursday, September 6-Saturday, September 8, at Rubber Gloves

Lyle Lovett
Friday, September 7, at Majestic Theatre
Lyle Lovett will be bringing his handsome catalog to the Majestic, a venue that seems to further hallow the artists that perform on its stage. Have you noticed he has a lot of songs about girls?

As Channing Beumer says in this week's print edition: It's a "Top Dawg Entertainment takeover" at Prophet Bar.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
