Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth will perform Saturday night at Hailey's in Denton with young Denton singer/songwriter (and Rushmore fan) Chance Maggard, who performs under the name Forgetting Max Fischer.
He'll perform songs from his recent solo albums Mo Beauty and Skin and Bones plus selected Clap Your Hands Say Yeah songs. Backing him will be his band Flashy Python, consisting of baritone and pedal-steel guitarist Matt Sutton as well as The Teeth members Peter Modavis, Brian Ashby and Jonas Oesterle from Ounsworth's native Philadelphia.
Tickets are $12 for 21 and up, $14 for under 21. But the first person to e-mail me with the subject "Clap Your Hands Say Mo" will receive a pair of tickets to the show, courtesy of the venue.
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to the winner.
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.
