You’ve heard her on KXT, now catch her live at The Kessler on March 14.  Tiger Darrow is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has won many accolades for her original compositions. A 2011 graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, she is now a Music Composition major at New York University studying under Paul Galdston. The Dallas Observer has called her “one to watch”. In 2011, she released two albums: Hello, and her self-produced her album, You Know Who You Are.  Photo by Peyton Hayslip in front of The Kessler.

Check out the brand (spankin’) new Whiskey Folk Ramblers video.  Hear them live at the February 16 Triple Play at the Kessler! 

Fatty Fatty Fat-Fat.

(That episode of the Simpsons still makes me laugh.)

Seriously cool Denton band with a giggle-inducing name—Fatty Lumpkin—plays Friday night, January 27th at 2826 Arnetic, downtown Dallas. It’s the release of the trio’s new EP called Let It Play, and you’re going to experience a very cool show. You’re going to see Kelyn Crapp, who is an outstanding guitarist, along with bassist and vocalist Seth Myers (not Meyers; that Seth is on SNL) and drummer/percussionist Matt Dixon.

And it’s also the Dallas stop of this year’s Waka Winter Classic. You will ensure Fatty wins a spot at Wakarusa (the SXSW of the Ozarks) when you scream and yell and throw undergarments onstage. By the way, Kelyn is the guitarist for early KXT first-week-ever-on-the-air local music alum Andrew Tinker, whom you can see March 22nd at the Kessler.
