The Gibbonses at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-06-10 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Husband and wife, Jackie and Brandon Gibbons, formed the Dallas-based, multi-instrumentalist Americana duo, The Gibbonses, in early 2015 after relocating from Seattle.
A few months after arriving back in Texas, The Gibbonses became one of only 12 bands selected from more than 150 applicants to compete in Ranch Factor 2015, a battle of the bands hosted by 95.9FM The Ranch, where they advanced all the way to the final four! Since then, the band has logged countless miles with more than 200 performances all across Texas, up and down the east coast, and through the Midwest. In 2016, they released their full-length debut, Among The Rubble, recorded in Los Angeles with producer Jamie Hill. The duo was awarded first place in Rattle Music magazine’s Spring Songwriter Contest and also competed in Larry Joe Taylor’s 2016 Songwriter Showcase. In January, The Gibbonses received the Texas Music Pickers 2016 Newcomer of the Year Award. The Gibbonses have opened for Gary Morris, Blue Water Highway Band, William Michael Morgan, Midnight River Choir, Brandon Rhyder, Kimberly Dunn and Troy Cartwright, to name a few, and had the pleasure of sharing festival stages with Sam Riggs, William Clark Green, Prophets and Outlaws, and many other well-known Texas musicians. For Jackie and Brandon, it has always been their love of performing that has driven them to pursue their musical careers from a young age. Whether they’re performing for 20 close friends at an intimate house concert or onstage in front of a large crowd, the couple have a way of connecting with each and every person in the audience and making them feel like a part of the family.

Reckless Kelly at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-06-09 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
The heartland gave Reckless Kelly authenticity. Musical lives honed their skills. Adversity instilled their persistence, and moving to Austin gave the Grammy winners wings to fly. As kids, the Brauns – Cody, Willy, Micky and Gary – shared a stage with Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell and Merle Haggard. Micky and Gary now helm their own band, Micky and the Motorcars (who performed at the Levitt last summer). Cody and Willy, with drummer, Jay Nazz, created Reckless Kelly. The band took its name from the legend of Ned Kelly, the Australian highwayman, and the three moved to Austin in 1996. Early on, Robert Earl Keen*, a Texas singer/songwriter legend himself, took them under his wing and became their first manager. They listened, watched and interacted with the creative dynamos of the outlaw country scene – Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark and others – and joined them in a redefinition of what contemporary country music had become. Theirs was gritty, hard-edged, uncompromising and convincing. Their 1998 self-released debut branded Reckless Kelly with a reputation as a band of no-nonsense insurgents that could raise the rafters while still retaining a heart and soul of honesty, soul and conviction. Reckless Kelly’s string of critically acclaimed albums, Under the Table and Above the Sun (2003), Wicked Twisted Road (2005), Bulletproof (2008), Somewhere in Time (2010), Grammy-nominated Good Luck & True Love (2011) and Grammy-winning Long Night Moon (2013), set a standard of reliable excellence and commitment to an instinctive vision of Americana. The group’s new album, Sunset Motel, reflects Reckless Kelly’s attention to craft and continuity.

American Jazz Composers Orchestra plays Stevie Wonder
2017-06-04 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Spend an evening on the lawn with the music of Stevie Wonder re-invented with a jazz sensibility. The American Jazz Composers Orchestra was born in 2010, the idea of Tim Ishii, Dan Cavanagh and Ken Edwards, who are all jazz professors at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Focusing primarily on living composers, the group accomplishes its mission through performances, recordings, commissions, artist residencies, partnerships and educational outreach.

Uncle Lucius at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-06-03 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Austin-based Indie rock band Uncle Lucius takes rock and roll from its deep roots and pushes it onward by adding their own honest interpretation of new rock sounds with elements of R&B. Their debut album, Pick Your Head Up, was hailed for bringing rock and roll back to its heyday sound. After the album was released, the band packed their van, left Austin, and toured their rock-and-soul shows everywhere from the corners of both coasts. Their songs have been featured on television shows, such as Castle and Friday Night Lights. The band takes pride in their live shows as sacred and energetic experiences, believing that performing live is still the truest form of communication with their fans. Their most recent release, The Light, is the statement their fans have waited for, with its songs of seeking and questioning, of reaching out to others, of excavating the hidden strength within. After years spent spreading their message across Texas, here at last is the vehicle that can take them to the national level.

Humming House at the Levitt Pavilion
2017-06-02 | Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
Few bands embody what’s right about the “new Nashville” more completely than the quintet known as Humming House. It’s in the way they weave together threads of Music City’s folk, soul and bluegrass legacies with inspirational, revealing songwriting. It’s also in their acoustic instrumentation, presenting mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar and bass in fresh roles. And it’s in the voices, with two complementary stylists up front backed by the full band’s rapturous harmonies. Their most recent recording, Revelries, mixes bluegrass and Celtic with vintage swing and 1960s hootenanny folk music. The recording earned them quick attention for videos of its infectious songs, “Cold Chicago” and “Gypsy Django,” and a performance slot at the Americana Music Festival. They also opened the Music City Roots hall in The Factory in 2014, sharing the bill with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. Among the five members of Humming House, there’s scarcely a genre or period that somebody in the band hasn’t spent time learning or embracing from show tunes to bluegrass and beat boxing.
