| The Cut*Off, The Demigs, more Andy's Basement Bar & Grill | Sat., December 6 | Denton | |
 While still worshiping at the altar of Frank Black (with a menacing snarl a la famed '60s psycho Sky Saxon), Kyle Barnhill, the frontman for Fort Worth's The Cut*Off, has conjured up his best set of songs for the band's excellent third effort, Packaged Up for Beginners.

| Death Cab For Cutie, Snow Patrol, Shiny Toy Guns, Cold War Kids, Carolina Liar Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie | Fri., December 5 | Grand Prairie | |
 When you think of "political" artists, folk troubadours like Steve Earle or sloganeering punk rockers like Anti-Flag most often come to mind.
Indie-rock icons Death Cab for Cutie don't fit either of those molds, but, over the past decade, the group has become increasingly politically active.... More >> |

| Duran Duran, Your Vegas Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie | Tue., December 2 | Grand Prairie | |
 Hard to believe that it has been nearly 30 years since Duran Duran created such a stylish, erotic buzz with the single "Hungry Like the Wolf" and its accompanying video. As a horny youngster, I relished fantasizing about nubile, young island girls stalking me as they did the dude in the video.... More >> |

| Buddy Guy, Tom Hambridge House of Blues | Sun., December 7 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 So there's this guitarist who was the first to use amplifiers, was friends with Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf, and inspired and influenced the likes of the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. Eric Clapton calls him his Elvis. Also, he's got a thing for polka dots. Do you need to know anymore, or... More >> |

| Hinder, Buckcherry, Drowning Pool, more Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie | Sat., December 6 | Grand Prairie | |
 To celebrate the birth of the Savior, Dallas' two commercial modern rock radio stations are throwing three big concerts in the next few days. The harder-rocking KEGL-97.1 FM, which has no "alternative" pretenses, blows its holiday wad in a single night with Buckcherry, Hinder, Drowning Pool,... More >> |

| My Brightest Diamond, Clare and the Reasons Granada Theater | Wed., December 3 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 Speaking from a tour stop in the remote town of Poema, Colorado, Shara Worden, leader of the neoclassical pop ensemble My Brightest Diamond, comes across like the cool big sister who's seen it all. The daughter of a National Accordion Champion father and a classical organist mother, Shara... More >> |
|||
| Peter and the Wolf, The Days Are Night, Daniel Folmer The Cavern | Mon., December 8 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 Austin musician Red Hunter's experimental folk-rock project has performed in odd venues including a graveyard, an abandoned bus and an uninhabited island, but for this tour he's playing some relatively conventional rooms.
"The reason I'm playing the Chat Room and The Cavern is because I'm... More >> |

| The Quebe Sisters Band Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse | Fri., December 5 | Northeast Dallas | |
 How often do we get mail from bands? Often.
How often do we get an actual hand-written letter from a band? Pretty damned rarely.
I remember an inspirational greeting card from witty songstress Laura Palmer around last November, and Daniel Folmer has been known to keep us updated on new... More >> |

| Dylan Sneed, Jacob Metcalf, Lalagray Opening Bell at Mosaic | Thu., December 4 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 Dylan Sneed's EP No Worse for the Wear features quiet but intense country/folk that comes across like Leo Kottke covering Paul Simon. Rich and rewarding, Sneed's songs have a sly humor and an offbeat charm that makes their religious underpinnings all the more convincing. "What I Thought" and... More >> |

| Ed Burleson Love and War in Texas Plano | Every week Wednesday | Plano | |
 Ed Burleson is one of them folks who can't help but be country -- and, more than that, Texas country. You could say it's in his blood, type TX-positive. A sixth-generation Texan, he's the direct descendant and namesake of Gen. Edward Burleson, a commander at the Battle of San Jacinto and the... More >> |

| Cool Out Mondays The Cavern | Every week Monday | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 Chris Penn, who holds such titles as Good Records owner/manager and Polyphonic Spree Robemaster, has one awesome beard. He's also responsible for one of the finest nights of my life. (Wink, wink.) It was October 31, 2005. I was dressed as a born-again Chick-Fil-A cow, Mr. Penn was dressed as... More >> |

| Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art Dallas Museum of Art | Third Friday of every month | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 Makes sense that Starbucks, which serves wake-the-dead coffee, would sponsor a program about the afterlife for the after hours: the Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art series from 6 p.m. to midnight the third Friday of each month. On November 21, weary parents can get wired on triple shots... More >> |

| Ricki Derek The Cavern |
Sat., June 2, 6:00pm more dates/times |
East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 For the past decade, Derek has been Dallas' own Sinatra. With well-cut suits, slicked-back hair and sometimes a drink in hand, the MacArthur High School graduate cuts a striking nostalgic figure complete with a voice that could fit right in with Bobby Darin and Mel Tormé on any... More >> |

| Gospel Brunch House of Blues | Every week Sunday | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
| Feeling hungry? Go to the House of Blues on Sunday for their Gospel Brunch and have your body and spirit filled up. What does a Yankee boy know about gospel brunches? Well, to be honest, not a heck of a lot. What I do know is that I like good gospel music and delicious Southern food. Besides,... More >> | |||
| It's A Wonderful Christmas with Michael W. Smith Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center |
Tue., December 2, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 Santa Claus is coming to town, and Michael W. Smith is coming to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. If you don't know who Michael W. Smith is, just ask our mayor, Tom Leppert. Leppert says Smith is one of his favorite musicians, and if that glowing endorsement doesn't get you to the show, I don't... More >> |

| King Bucks Adair's |
Sat., July 5 more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 If you'd asked two years ago, I would have said that the only reason for a cover band to exist is to make money and watch the crazy shit that goes down at weddings, and that's coming from someone who's been in one. Yeah, I admit it--the Ronnie Dobbs Band could "rock your corporate event" with... More >> |

| The Local Yokel Show The Libertine Bar | Every week Monday | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 No one's gonna mistake Lower Greenville's The Libertine for a live music venue--DJ nights and Scaraoke aside--but anyone who's ever spent a few minutes in this phenomenal establishment knows two things: a) As Lower Greenville bars go, The Libertine's over-PA playlist is tops, and b) the people...

| The Texas Crossroads Festival Dallas Heritage Village | Every week Saturday, 11:00am-5:00pm | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
 I love history, especially Dallas history, but I wouldn't want to live all of it. I'm perfectly fine with my air-conditioned flat in East Dallas and my gas-guzzling, smallish SUV on somewhat smooth cement roads. When I need to revisit our local past, I just head out to a museum, but if I’m... More >> |
