Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, fellow sound seekers. I'm beat Map. You're slightly eccentric,
endlessly curious guide through Dallas's ever pulsinating music scene, where
every alley can lead to a new favorite band and
every week brings a fresh wave of sonic discovery. My
heart beats for local jams, surprise sets, and that shared
euphoria when a room full of strangers becomes a chorus.

(00:21):
Let me show you what's humming in Dallas this week.
First off, I've been buzzing for tonight's show at Club Data.
The Symposium Valley and Mariba are taking the stage at
nine pm. Club Data's walls have absorbed so much local
sound you can practically feel the groove in your shoes
before you step inside. That same energy will be wild
on Sunday, when Mustard Service and Tommy Davidson join the

(00:43):
Fray Forget the work week, dread. Sunday in deep Elam
is the answer for those craving Latin rock nostalgia. Ombres
g and enomeitos verdez hit American Airlines Center tonight July eleventh.
You'll catch me there, losing my voice to classic choruses.
Looking ahead Out Music Festival happens at Doseki's Pavilion on Saturday,
July twelfth, with legends like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, the

(01:06):
Avid Brothers, and The Mavericks. Tickets start around fifty dollars,
but seeing that line up on one bill is worth
twice that. And if you love big pop spectacles, keep
your eyes peeled for Jin's two nights stand at American
Airline Center later this month. What's my venue pick of
the week? Granada Theater on Greenville Avenue. It's a slice
of old Hollywood in Dallas, with murals and tiered floors

(01:29):
that make every show feel like an event. Last time
I was there, the crowd was one big swing family.
Don't miss Gimme Gimme Disco at Sundown at Granada this
Saturday for a dance party and a half. Dallas Observer
calls Granada one of the city's best for a reason.
Local talent is where I get truly starry eyed. Shelley Carroll,
our own jazz legend, holds down Wednesday nights at Revelers Hall.

(01:51):
Watching him improvise with pure Joy always reminds me why
I fell for Dallas's scene. Don't sleep on Lilly Taylor,
either her avon pop sets at indie like Opening Bell
Coffee or the t X Tea Room, or where experimental
meets emotional in the best way. My weekly routine is
all about rituals. Tuesday Tearplane Rounders at Reveler's Hall for
rootsy blues. Wednesday's Shelley Carroll Jazz Night eight to eleven

(02:14):
p m. Thursday, the Bishop Avenue Hot six brings traditional jazz,
and if you're after late night, Groves Brona Funk's DJ
drums duo turns Thursday midnight into Friday morning on a
high note. All of these are either free or under
fifteen dollars, so there's no excuse to stay home festival fever,
you bet. I'm clearing my calendar for July nineteenth, when

(02:34):
Parker mc collum, Steve Earle and Reckless Kelly hit Doseki's
Pavilion for a classic Texas summer night. Scheduling tip Pack,
Sunscreen and friends. Festival set times always overlap with happy accidents.
Sometimes the best set is the one you stumble into
for the adventures. Dallas hides its most electric moments in
secret and unconventional venues. Double Wides Punk chaos tucked into

(02:58):
trailer park, sheek on Commerce, Kessler Theaters, immaculate acoustics in
Oak Cliff, legendary sight lines, velvet seats and ghost stories
in the walls, and when the mood strikes. The t
X Tea Room and Rubber Gloves in Denton are where
indie bands try out new material on unsuspecting crowds. Last
minute show hunting my Mac comes from never ignoring the

(03:20):
Instagram stories of local venues, plus a group text with
a crew of fellow music obsessives. Song kick is my
digital weapon, and scouring the event calendars of House of
Blues in the Echo Lounge often reveals pop up gigs
in surprise sets. If you want this kind of inside
