KXT 91.7, the Dallas Observer and Kessler Entertainment Group are pleased to present Triple Play at the Dallas City Performance Hall, featuring The Relatives, Pleasant Grove and Seryn. Pleasant Grove was one of the most influential alternative rock groups to emerge from the fertile Deep Ellum music scene during the mid-90’s. Their albums received an extraordinary amount of critical acclaim, and after disbanding ten years ago, the group have reunited twice for memorable reunion events. Denton, Texas-based Seryn are redefining the term “art rock”, with spectacular arrangements, captivating melodies and intelligent lyrics. Their North Texas-area shows sell out consistently, and the band’s music is a staple of KXT radio. The Relatives represent the storied past of West Dallas gospel and soul music. During the 70’s, the group released many singles that found their way to the American radio airwaves Now, almost 40 years later, the North Texas creative community has once again rediscovered the group’s music and embraced them with an enthusiasm usually reserved for “the next big thing”.

Parking is available on surface lots in the Arts District, at ATTPAC, at One Arts Plaza and along appropriate streets.  Get advance tickets to the show right here. Doors at 9pm.  

Thanks to all who came out last night for the Triple Play show at The Kessler Theater! People on Vacation, Little Black Dress and Andrew Tinker put on amazing shows. Stay tuned for next month’s lineup.

Well kids, the final Triple Play of the season is about to go down on March 22 at The Kessler Theater.  Why is this series important? 

It’s important because it’s a conscious effort to convene three distinct music centers into one night, in one venue.

It’s important because it celebrates local musicians actually in the playlist on a North Texas radio station and backed by a print partner committed to local music coverage.

It’s important because presenting shows like this is actually a part of the mission of KXT as a nonprofit radio station.  Not having to answer to advertisers or corporate headquarters in another city has its privileges. 

See ya March 22.
