Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, there, music wanderers, I'm beat Map. Your guide through
Dallas is buzzing, ever changing live music landscape. You might
spot me dancing at a bar, scribbling notes at a
crowded venue, or slipping into a secret show that only
a true local would know about. I live for the
pulse of Dallas, the way a room explodes when the
band hits the chorus, the hum of anticipation before the

(00:20):
lights go down. No one knows this city sounds quite
like I do. And I'm here to pull back the
carton for you. Right now. Dallas is absolutely electric. House
of blues, Dallas, a cornerstone for both touring legends and
local heroes, has a killer week ahead. Over the next
seven days, you'll find a wild mix dance, are electronic
nights where the base shakes the floorboards, R and B

(00:41):
knights that bring down the house, and plenty of rock
shows that make you forget your schedule. Check their full
line up on Live Nation to see what's on tap
because they're always rotating the genres and if you're craving
a cozier vibe. The Cambridge Room upstairs is the spot
for indie rock, metal, and hip hop with a more
intimate feel. If you want tip, grab a fast Lane

(01:02):
pass or splurge on VIP for priority entry, premium seating
and access to the Foundation Room's exclusive parties. Trust me,
it's worth it for the cocktails and those artists meet
and greets. My pick of the week House of Blues Dallas.
I just can't resist that main room energy. But if
you're in the mood for something a little different, swing
by south Side Ballroom. Their schedule courtesy of Live Nation

(01:23):
is packed. There's a peach Pit in Briston, Morony Show,
Dee Babies, Miss Salasar tour and Jesse Reyes coming through
soon for something truly epic. Book ahead for the Fray
How to Save a Life twenty first anniversary tour. Dates
and tickets are flying fast, so don't sleep on it.
Of course, venues are just the stage. The real magic
is in the acts. I'm buzzing about a few local

(01:46):
talents who are tearing up open mic nights and pop
up shows. There's a new indie pop duo playing at
a coffee shop downtown every Thursday, and I can't get
enough of their harmonies. I also keep my eyes peeled
for jazz nights at a little known speakeasy called the
Moon Room every Tuesday late night. Smooth and always a
crowd favorite among Dallas's music livers. My weekly routine is packed.

(02:08):
I never miss Tuesday Jazz at the Moon Room, open
mic at the Tipsy Krow on Wednesdays, Killer Vibes, and
the Electronic night at House of Blues this weekend. For
the real adventurous, there's a hip hop open deck at
an underground space near deep Ellum on Thursdays. DM me
and I'll send you the address. Festival season is heating up,
and I'm marking my calendar for the Outlaw Music Festival

(02:29):
at Dosseki's Pavilion on July fifth. Willie Nelson and Family,
Bob Dylan, the Abviod Brothers, the Mavericks, and Moore Legends
all on one stage. I'm losing sleep just thinking about it.
Tickets are on sale now and VIP packages are worth
every penny for the early entry and exclusive merch. Check
out Blackbird Presents for full details. Secret spots, Oh, I've

(02:50):
got a few. There's a vinyl shop in oak Cliff
that hosts live acoustic sessions on Sunday afternoons. Free entry,
coffee and a rotating cast of singer songwriters, and if
you're looking for something truly off the grid, keep an
eye on Instagram stories. Local DJs often announced last minute
warehouse raves that pop up and disappear overnight. Speaking of
last minute, my go to tools for finding shows are Instagram,

(03:14):
the Live Nation and event bright apps, and a group
chat with other music fiends who always know what's happening.
Sometimes the best gigs are the ones you hear about
from the barista or bouncer. For more personalized recks, subscribe
