Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo
Through February 3| Downtown Fort Worth
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo barrels into its second weekend with plenty of cowboy stuff (catch that at Dickies Arena) and music. The latter is part of the FWSSR’s Auditorium Series, featuring Old Crow Medicine Show on Thursday, Trace Adkins on Friday, and Smokey Robinson on Saturday.
Lucinda Williams
January 18, 8 p.m.| Longhorn Ballroom
By just about every measure, 2020 was an awful year for Grammy-winner Lucinda Williams. A tornado tore through Nashville, damaging her home. The pandemic sidelined most live music. And then there was a stroke that temporarily prevented her from playing the guitar. Now recovered, Williams will hit the Longhorn Ballroom stage Thursday night with her band in support of her 15th studio album, Stories from a Rock’ n’ Roll Heart.
Elvis Costello and the Imposters
Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello brings his 7-0-7 tour to Dallas this weekend. If previous setlists are any indications, there will be plenty of familiar hits (like his highest charting hit, “Veronica”) and some surprises in the form of previously unreleased songs. He’ll be joined by Austin’s Charlie Sexton, who has been a part of Arc Angels and played with Bob Dylan.
Hasan Minhaj
January 20| Winspear Opera House
Comedian Hasan Minhaj brings his Off With His Head tour to Dallas on Saturday. Known for his Netflix special Homecoming King and his Emmy-winning political satire show Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, the former Daily Show correspondent is known for being irreverent and topical. He’ll have two shows at the Winspear Friday at 7 and 9:30 p.m.
Jonathan Van Ness
January 20, 8 p.m.| Majestic Theatre
Jonathan Van Ness is one of the experts on Netflix’s Queer Eye, a best-selling author, and a celebrity hairstylist. He’ll be bringing his Fun & Slutty comedy tour to the Majestic Theatre Saturday night. His third tour follows the frequently sold-out Road to Beijing and Imaginary Living Room Olympian tours.
Big Tuck
January 21, 10 p.m.| Dada
Queen City’s Big Tuck will take over the stage at Dada Sunday night, bringing Jackboy Marley, Riflman, T-Sqizz, Trey Duce, Chief Rebel, J-Flow, Dru Stone, and DJ Chinese Spare Ribs. The Lincoln High grad gained national attention when his 2006 album, Tha Absolute Truth (which featured fellow Texans Erykah Badu, Chamillionaire, and Paul Wall) hit No. 14 on the Billboard Top Rap Albums Chart.
