JOHNNYSWIM
Apr. 19, 7 p.m. | Southside Ballroom
For years, this singer-songwriter husband and wife duo have shared their most intimate moments with the world. From getting married, entering into parenthood, and working with Chip and Joanna Gaines, the couple has ascended from coffee shop darling to multi-hyphenate creatives in their own right. Nevertheless, the heart of their brand is still rooted in their shared love of music. The couple is on tour for JOHNNYSWIM, their latest studio album, which features a collaboration with Houstonian (and UNT alum) Tobe Nwigwe. Buy tickets.
The Record Company
Apr. 21, 7 p.m. | The Cambridge Room
American rock is truly alive. In 2016, the Los Angeles band achieved mainstream success with a trio of hits that resulted in an abundance of festival and television appearances. Despite the fame, the trio of musicians has maintained a down home, intimate feel in the band’s music. This week’s concert is standing room only, so put on comfortable shoes and vibe out to the contemporary rock n’ roll. Get tickets.
Tai Verdes
Apr. 23, 7 p.m. | The Echo Lounge & Music Hall
Virality does not always equate to longevity. But, a new generation of musicians—particularly contemporaries like Cardi B and Doja Cat—have developed a way to capitalize on the social media frenzy while building a sustainable career. The same could be said about musician Tai Verdes. Although Verdes won MTV’s Are You The One? in 2016, the reality TV series didn’t land him a record deal. TikTok did. In June 2020, Verdes released “Stuck in the Middle” on the platform. A month later, the song reached #1 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral Charts. Now, the musician is on tour for LAst dAy oN EaRTh, his latest studio album. Purchase tickets.
RickyRay & The Goons, DreamieCloud, DJ Big Texan, Third Coast Boyz
Apr. 23, 2 p.m. | Camp Bishop, 407 W. 10th Street
Think Coachella, but Oak Cliff. Camp Bishop transforms into an open air market of local small businesses, food vendors, and music. Jam out to indie pop band Ricky Ray & The Goons as you chomp away on a crispy al pastor quesadilla from Ninos Tacos & Taquizas. Or unwind with a massage from Her Signature Massage to the pop melodies of DreamieCloud. Between S.I.G., DJ Big Texican, Third Coast Boyz, and Los Hijos De Muñoz, you will leave with a new favorite Oak Cliff band. RSVP.
