Finally, the weekend we've been anticipating for nearly four years has arrived. All that build-up and excite will all culminate in Arlington on Sunday for Super Bowl XLV.
And, trust us, the parties surrounding the event are many. So many, in fact, that we've created our own Super Bowl event page, which catalogs all this weekend's Super Bowl-related parties. Check it out if you're looking to party with celebs and all that.
But if you're just looking for a good show, we've got plenty of those, too, starting with ones we've been talking about all week.
Ishi, Cocky Americans, Redsean
Friday, February 4, at The Cavern
This show marks Ishi's farewell to The Cavern, which is moving away from its music format to become a two-story pub. Especially notable is the band's connection to this venue, given frontman John Mudd's constant presence there as the room's soundman, and also as the promoter of the free Wednesday night weekly event, Detour, which is now ending its run as well.
Saturday, February 5, at The Where House in Fort Worth
This annual event benefits Fort Worth Music Outreach, "a volunteer organization that raises money to buy musical instruments for at-risk youth in Fort Worth and provides them with musical instruction." And this year's bill, featuring Fort Worth bands Telegraph Canyon, Whiskey Folk Ramblers, Luke Wade & No Civilians, Ginny mac and Oh Whitney, promises not to disappoint. Entry is just $15 -- or free, if you show up to the event with a working guitar in tow. And the drinks will be cheap: The cash-only bar will feature $2 you-call-its all night long.
Willie Nelson
Saturday, February 5, at the Palladium Ballroom
The Red Headed Stranger, thankfully, is involved in the Super Bowl events after all.
