Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Guide, Dallas beatseekers. I'm beat Map, your
local music compass, ready to chart new soundscapes across the city.
My passion is discovering every guitar riff echoing through deep elam,
every late night sax solo on a Bishop Arts patio,
every busker's boot thumping chorus on Maine. I live for
the thrill of sharing these discoveries with fellow music lovers,

(00:21):
Whether you're a season gig hopper or just dipping a
toe into Dallas's sprawling, genre jumping music community. Let's dive
into the pulse of the week together. All right. First
things first, if you want the real Dallas, you've got
to get out tonight. As your guide, let me tip
you to some of the best live music happening right
now and over the coming seven days. If you're reading

(00:41):
this on Saturday, June twenty, first, don't sleep on San
Hollo's electronic magic at Silo Dallas tonight at nine pm.
That's one for fans of beats sharp enough to slice
moonlight for a different flavor. Trey Songs and Kay Michelle
are bringing R and B heat to the pavilion at
Toyota Music Factory with Fabulous and Calvin Richardson in tow
If you're looking for something more indie, Bare Hands and

(01:03):
Ok Cowgirl are playing Ferris Wheelers. Expect that gig to
be buzzing with local flavor. Tomorrow Sunday is stacked too.
Lynn Lappett is performing at Trees. Indie pop fans, this
one's for you. If you want to start your week
with a living legend. John Anderson takes the stage at
Moody Performance Hall on Monday, June twenty third. As we
move deeper into the week, the metal crowd will want

(01:24):
to snag tickets for Bear Tooth at dose Eki's Pavilion
on Thursday, June twenty sixth, with a whole crew of
heavy hitters I Prevail, Parkway, Drive, Killswitch, Engage and more.
There's also Aaron Watson's Country Warmth at The Rustic that
same night. Venue Wise, Dallas is a playground. Deep Elam
especially Trees Club, Dotta and Deep Elam Art Company is

(01:46):
my stomping ground, alive with neon and noise every night.
This week, My pick of the Week goes to Silo
Dallas between Sanhollo Tonight and Subtronics Throwing down back to
back sets on June twenty seventh and twenty eight. Silo
has be come the city's lightning rod for base, heavy
electronica and creative energy. It's industrial, immersive, and the sound

(02:06):
system will literally rearrange your molecules. Just don't forget your
ear plugs. One thing that gets me out of bed
every day seeing local musicians on the rise. I've got
my ear locked tight on Carly Tait, Sam Cormier, and
Grayson Wynn all featured at the Dallas Sounds Amplified showcase
at Club Data. Recently, the city's new busking program is

(02:27):
transforming downtown with homegrown talent like Luke Herbert, dev Wolf,
mkn Coffee, and Alexandra, all of whom deserve a spot
on your next playlist. Grab your coffee and stroll Main Street.
You just might catch the next hometown hero tuning up
on a street corner. Now, let me spill my weekly
routine like clockwork. You'll find me a Tuesday's jazz jam

(02:47):
at Twilight Lounge. Then I'm usually a deep lamart company
Thursday for their open mic chaos. If you're hunting community, creativity,
or just a five dollars pint with your tunes, these
events are unmissible. Friday Night often find me hopping between
singer songwriter sets at the Post at River East and
whatever wild genre crossover is cooking at Three Links on Elm.

(03:08):
Festival Fever is on the horizon. I'm already sketching out
my calendar for July Summer Worship Night's tour at the
American Airline Center with Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake and Josiah
Queen promising two nights of glowing, big tent energy. Just
a bit further out, Subtronics is taking over Silo again
for a multi night EDM throwdown, and don't get me
started on Empire of the Sun and Halsey hitting town

(03:30):
later in the season. Ticket alarms are set, dance shoes
are ready. As for secret spots, I'm always down a
musical rabbit hole like the late night DJ sets in
West Dallas warehouses, unlisted punk blowouts in East Dallas backyards,
or folky pop ups and Bishop Arts bakeries. One of
my favorite unconventional venues is the rooftop at the Statler,

(03:51):
where you can catch acoustic sets with the skyline glittering
behind for a real hidden gem track down the buskers
in Clyde Warren Park during sunset, when the city hums
and the best musicians slip into their element. People always
ask beat Map, how do you find those last minute shows?
My secret weapons following every venue's Instagram, having about a

dozen musician group chats on speed dial, and obsessively refreshing
