The Suffers at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-07-15 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
The 2017 Levitt National Tour will feature the critically acclaimed rising stars, The Suffers. This eight-piece powerhouse of Gulf Coast Soul celebrates the rich diversity of the band’s hometown of Houston, masterfully melding classic American soul with genres as wide-ranging as rock, Latin ska, Cajun, hip-hop, country and R&B. When asked about the origin of the self-coined term “Gulf Coast Soul,” lead vocalist Kam Franklin explained, “When I think of the Gulf, I think of good food, humidity, diverse cultures, and this is all reflected in The Suffers. We come from different backgrounds, but it all comes together in our band, and we create a gumbo of music. It might not make sense on paper to put a Latin percussionist with a gospel singer with a classically trained saxophonist with a jazz drummer, but for us, it works.” This approach has already earned The Suffers a place on numerous “artists to watch” lists, rave reviews from Billboard, NPR and The New York Times and a growing international fan base — and they’re just getting started! The Suffers are frequently praised for their heartfelt, high-energy live shows. The combined force of the rhythm and horn sections’ contagious grooves and Kam Franklin’s soaring vocals has wowed audiences and critics alike in venues across the globe from small, intimate settings like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts to large-scale festivals, like the Newport Folk Fest, Austin City Limits Music Festival and South by Southwest, to popular late-night television shows, like The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Along with pushing musical boundaries, The Suffers are dedicated to inspiring fans to live boldly and tap into their own potential. This dynamic band will move people of all ages and backgrounds with their raw, fiery Gulf Coast Soul!

Jason Eady at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-07-14 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
After having his last two albums on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Heatseekers charts, Mississippi-born Texas transplanted singer/songwriter/guitarist Jason Eady is releasing his highly anticipated sixth album this year, Daylight & Dark. The collection merges Jason’s distinct sensibilities into a stripped-down, roots-oriented sound that showcases the gritty elegance of his songwriting. For Jason, who names Merle Haggard, Guy Clark and Willie Nelson among his main inspirations, instilling each song with graceful honesty proved to be his greatest achievement and thrill in creating the new album. The album radiates a warm vitality that’s got much to do with Jason’s gift for nuanced yet unaffected slice-of-life storytelling and includes guest performances by Tammy Rogers of The SteelDrivers, Courtney Patton and Vince Gill.

Family Movie Night: Finding Dory
2017-07-13 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity. Rated PG.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Bluegrass Band
2017-07-09 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Bands have been playing Beatles tunes for decades, but none quite like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Bluegrass Band. Imagine the music of the Fab Four shaken up with infusions of bluegrass and jazz and topped off with a classical twist. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Bluegrass Band is a collection of four very different musicians creating a new sound from the greatest music ever written by the greatest band ever, The Beatles. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Bluegrass Band’s repertoire features new and innovative takes on songs like “Eleanor Rigby,” “Back in the U.S.S.R,” Come Together,” “Blackbird” and many more. Sgt. Pepper’s is all about taking classics out for a new spin while staying true to music and artists who shaped an entire generation.

Walt Wilkins & the Mystiqueros
2017-07-08 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
With a voice as comfortable as well-worn jeans, Walt Wilkins knew his calling was music at an early age. His story-telling songs, hard-edged vocals and plaintive guitar have made him a fixture of the Texas music scene. Walt has been writing and playing music since the 1990s; sometimes alone, sometimes with his wife Tina, and sometimes with The Mystiqueros, a living art collective, a Hill Country jukebox, one of the bands destined to be on the bill in honky-tonk heaven. Together since 2007, their sound has been called “highly reminiscent of 1970s country/rock” with quality songwriting and vocal arrangements.

The Unlikely Candidates at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-07-07 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Based in Fort Worth, The Unlikely Candidates, an alternative rock band, was initially formed as an acoustic duo by childhood friends Kyle Morris and Cole Male, then expanded to include guitarist Brenton Carney, bassist Jared Hornbeek and drummer Kevin Goddard. Building from strength to strength in recent years, The Unlikely Candidates signed to Another Century Records in 2016 and crashed Alternative Rock radio with two infectious singles, “Your Love Could Start a War” and “Ringer,” which became part of the format’s Top 40. The band has been covered in The New York Times, Esquire and Perez Hilton and have toured with St. Lucia, Nothing But Thieves, Weathers, and The Moth & The Flame. They have performed at major music festivals, including Bonnaroo, Firefly, Riot Fest and SXSW. Most recently, The Unlikely Candidates were selected as part of Taco Bell’s Feed the Beat program. “Ringer,” “Your Love Could Start a War” and four more danceable, Indie-infused alt-rock tracks appear on The Unlikely Candidates’ new, six-song EP, Bed of Liars, which came out earlier this year.

Brad Thompson & the Undulating Band at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-07-03 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Brad Thompson’s musical roots started at an early age. Both of his parents were avid music fans and musicians. Brad’s earliest memories are of his dad picking out Luther Perkin’s guitar parts off of Johnny Cash’s albums. Brad’s mom, an accomplished vocalist and pianist, tried her hand at classical guitar, but when it didn’t work out, she handed her guitar to 12-year-old Brad, who started taking private lessons. As a student at the University of North Texas, Brad became friends with singer/lyricist Eddie Allen and within two years of entering college, they both pursued music full time, writing and performing at clubs like The Hop in Fort Worth, Poor David’s Pub in Dallas, the Kerrville Folk Festival and other havens for young songwriters. Brad went solo in 1992 and has recorded seven CDs. His songwriting and performances show the influences of Michael Hedges, Lyle Lovett, Jeff Buckley, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Counting Crows.
