Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fellow soundseekers, It's your pal beat map here, your
one stop offbeat compass to every sonic adventure in Dallas.
When someone asks what keeps me up at night, I
always say it's the hunt for that next beloved riff
echoing off a club wall, the unknowable joy of discovering
a local band at a tiny venue you'd never expect.
I live to chart, the thrum and hum of Dallas's

(00:20):
live music, and trust me, this city is alive with it.
Whether you're deep elm Diehard or a Bishop Arts wanderer.
Let me walk you through the gigs, the jams, and
the secret hideaways that make our scenes so much more
than the sum of its amps. Let's cut right to
the chase. It's the first week of June twenty twenty five,
and as always, Dallas is practically vibrating with upcoming shows.

(00:43):
My must see picks this week start tonight, May thirty
first with Rennie's Somewhere in Time tour at the Echo
Lounge and Music Hall. If you haven't felt Rnnie's Dreamy
R and B Live, trust me you'll float out the
doors afterward. Tomorrow night, June first, catch Beach Bunny's Tunnel
Vision Tour, also at the Echo Lounge. Their performances hit
that sweet spot between indie pop bounce and hard on

(01:05):
your sleeve confessionals, you'll probably leave a little more in
love with the world. Looking ahead to June sixth, electronic
dance fans should not miss Satin Jackets. That's an eighteen
plus event, so bring your ID and be ready for
a set packed with new disco, warmth and good vibes.
Prefer a wilder night, united we Dance. The Ultimate Rave
Experience hits the Echo on June seventh. Expect dazzling lasers,

(01:28):
pulsing bass, and the sort of togetherness only a communal
dance floor can bring. On the jazzier side. Thursday, June
fifth means it's time for the Cool Thursday's concert series
at the Dallas Arboretum. Picture this sunset over White Rock Lake,
a blanket, a picnic, and maybe a sneaky bottle of wine.
Corkage fee applies, and top tier tribute acts making even

(01:49):
your oldest favorites feel brand new. You can grab a
concert subscription for the spring season if you're planning to
make a habit of it. If you're the type who
wants the big stage energy. Keep if your radar on
dose Eki's Pavilion. They're always rolling out heavy hitting shows
this week. Check their schedule for last minute tickets to
see who's rolling through for something a little cozier. Granada

(02:12):
Theater on Greenville Avenue remains my go to for its
moody lighting, killer acoustics, and the way it feels like
everyone in the room is in on the same secret. Now,
if I had to crown a pick of the week venue,
it's the Kessler Theater in the Bishop Arts District. It's
intimate but never stuffy, a place where I've danced in
the aisles to everything from local legends like Charlie Crockett

(02:33):
to secret genre bending acts that become your next obsession.
Trust me, get tickets to anything at the Kessler and
you'll leave a fan no matter who's on stage. Speaking
of homegrown heroes, Dallas's local talent is unreal right now.
The Dallas Music Office just kicked off their new Dallas
Sounds Amplified Artist's showcase at Club Data in Deep Elum.

(02:54):
Last Wednesday's lineup included fresh acts like Carly Tait, Grayson Wynn,
and the Blue Line Artist who blend folks, soul and
pop in ways that feel like a breath of fresh air.
You'll also find dev Wolf and mkn Coffee weaving their
stories into the late night air. I always have my
ear tuned for Sam Cormier and Alexandra. If you see
their names on a bill, make it a must. My

(03:16):
weekly rhythm is basically built around the steady heartbeat of
regular Dallas events. Nothing beats Jazz Nights at the Balcony
Club usually Thursdays and Sundays, and I never skip an
open mic at Opening Bell Coffee. If you're downtown during
the work week, keep an ear out for the city's
new busking program. From noon to two pm on weekdays,
various public spots burst into song courtesy of Dallas's busking talent.

(03:40):
It's free, spontaneous, and a delight for lunchtime wanderers. Festival
season is always a fever dream for me. I'm already
sketching out my summer for the Riverfront Jazz Festival, where
local legends and global icons share stages in a multi
day celebration you'll be talking about for months. I'm also
scoping out wristbands for the next round of cool Thursdays

(04:00):
at the Arboretum. That late summer vibe and unbeatable lakeside
glow is pure Dallas magic. Of course, after years of
wandering alleys and basement venues, I've got a handful of
secret spots. Tucket
