Festival of Musicians on a Texas Beach March 12-14

Festival of Musicians is a 3 day music festival created especially for musicians.
Multiple stages and performance areas are scattered over 200 acres of gently rolling land just minutes from the white sandy
beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Right in the midle of Spring Break for 1.2 million college students.
Performers share music around the camp, or shine on the big stages in "The Guantlet" Multi Stage Showcase Competition
Competing Bands/Singers/Songwriters will "Run The Gauntlet" performing on a series of stages.
Performers share in Festival of Musicians revenues. 25% of gate proceeds from ticket sales go back to the PERFORMERS via the audience in the form of VOTING TOKENS called "Kudos"
Giving "Kudos" is how festival goers show appreciation for acts they like.
Performers trade "Kudos" in for cash and each "kudos" equals 1 vote.
Acts with the most "Kudos" advance to the higher level stages of the "Guantlet" and Big Star Status.
The TOP ACTS become the Festival of Musicians Headliners and perform on the giant mainstages for the entire festival crowd.
You may employ "Kudos" collection teams to help you collect "Kudos" from listeners. In fact, you can collect "kudos" just
about any way you can. For instance, you can perform as a band in "The Gauntlet" and perform on a singer/songwriter stage as
solo acts, pooling your band "Kudos" You can even gain "Kudos" playing around your camp.
Ticket amd camping fees have been kept low to ensure that everyone can participate. Tickets are 12.99 or $30 for a 3 day pass. Camping is $15 and includes a space for your car. Motorhomes/Campers/Trailers and other large vehicles are $1 Ft per day.
Festival of Musicians was created with a lot of love and inspiration by it's participants and we are all working together to make this a spectacular annual event with a world-wide draw.
There are about 130 confirmed acts so far with more confirming every day. We have room for 420. There is no sign up fee.
I hope will join us.

Music Legend Dave Bartholomew Rocks Old Town Mesquite every other Sat

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Dave Bartholomew is rocking old town Mesquite with music like it's never heard before. As a favor to his friend and protege, Larry "T-Byrd"
Gordon, popular Texas show band leader and husband of Balch Springs,
Texas' new "Singing Mayor", Carrie Gordon--- Mr. Bartholomew is joining
forces with T-Byrd's band (TMPL) and Mesquite's Art Greenhaw of The Light Crust
Doughboys to revitalize Old Town Mesquite into a musical destination
center, an artists' square. Every other Saturday night throughout the
summer, T-Byrd's variety revue combines with Art's Doughboys' sounds and
style which further combine with classic Dave Bartholomew hits known
'round the world like "I'm Walkin' ", "One Night (of Sin)",
"Witchcraft", "Ain't That A Shame" and more. As more historical
background, Mr. Bartholomew produced and arranged what many people claim
is the very first rock and roll record, 1949's " The Fat Man" starring
Fats Domino.

"The Best of R&B is Back, and it's every other week in Mesquite, Texas."

Music at the Library Downtown Dallas in July

July is almost here, and it really is starting to feel like Texas summertime outside. But we have plenty of ways to help you keep cool and keep the music coming at the Dallas Public Library.

First, on Thursday, July 16, The Dallas Opera continues its Così & Koozies summer panel series. This month’s topic is "Multiculturalism: At the Heart of Moby-Dick and Madame Butterfly." Join moderator Chris Shull (Opera Now, Opera, Star-Telegram) for a lively conversation with Dallas Opera Artistic Director Jonathan Pell; Jim Falk, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Ft. Worth; Dr. Stephen Dubberly of the UNT Opera program. Their discussion will include a special presentation on multicultural interactions in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. 6:30 p.m., Bradshaw Gallery, 4th Floor.

Then, on Sunday, July 19, the Sine Nomine Brass Quintet will bring their bright and lively sound to an energetic afternoon program. They may even have a surprise guest or two! 3:00 p.m., Auditorium, 1st Floor.

We’re also happy to tell you that our special exhibit, The Light Crust Doughboys: 80 Years and Still on the Air, has been extended until the end of July. This 4th floor display celebrates eighty years of The Light Crust Doughboys’ legacy. The band can trace its beginnings to 1929, when Bob Wills began his first group, the Wills Fiddle Band. New members were added, and in 1931 the name was changed to The Light Crust Doughboys when they became the on-air musical promoters of Light Crust Flour. Wills left the group in 1933 to form the Texas Playboys, but The Light Crust Doughboys continued to perform and record. Although there have been many changes in the membership over the years, today the band continues to honor their Western swing legacy. The library’s exhibit includes costumes, photos, instruments, and more illustrating the band’s long history.
Both events and the exhibit will be at the Central Library, 1515 Young Street. For more information, call the Fine Arts Division at 214-670-1643.
