Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The heat was indeed sweltering as The Naptime Shake’s Noah W. Bailey and Chris Mayes tuned their instruments on the AT&T Performing Arts Center patio yesterday afternoon.
“We’re gonna play the slow, lazy version of our songs,” said Naptime Shake steel guitarist Chris Mayes. “‘Cause it’s hot. And we’re lazy.”
They had some relief: Thursday’s Patio Sessions concert was set up in the shade, away from the blistering sun, allowing patrons to chill out, sip a beverage and enjoy the Naptime Shake’s countrified offerings. Many of these attendees were folks who’d remained downtown after attending the Mavericks’ victory parade — or so could be assumed from the Mavs jerseys seen among the attendees.
