Hey, music wanderers, I'm beat Nap. You're slightly obsessive, definitely

mission to sniff out every beat, lyric and guitar riff
bouncing around the city and point you straight to the
artists and venues that deserve your ears. There's nothing I
love more than introducing folks to the kind of shows

it out to massive bass, grab a ticket now usually
runs around thirty five dollars. On Saturday, July twenty six,
the Kessler Theater is serving up one of those intimate
sets that can only happen there, and Stereo Live Dallas
is rolling deep with a late ten pm show. If
you want to keep the night going. As far as
venues go, nothing hits quite like the Kessler Theater for me.

The sound pulls you in close, and the ambience feels
both vintage and permanently on trend. My pick of the
week the late Saturday set at Kessler, a rotating local
lineup that gives you genre surprises and a crowd that
truly listens. Now, local talent Dallas is brimming this month.
I'm obsessed with Isaiah Falls's mysterious, moody soul that pares

Latin and folk makes me want to dance awkwardly in public.

believe I'm packing a lawn chair and plotting out which
sets can't be missed. Of course, Dallas hides its gems.

(02:29):
Creators don't die in Deep Elam is my favorite unconventional den,
part art gallery, part pop up venue. You never know
