Salim Nourallah & the Travoltas were one of 21 bands who played the Lakewoodstock Neighborhood Festival Sunday, May 20. Joining the band on keys? The one and only Paul Slavens, host of The Paul Slavens show, Sunday evenings on KXT 91.7. Thousands of people braved the heat to listen to bands and walk among the many vendors and artists camped out under tents inside the Lakewood Village Shopping Center parking lots. Bands playing the event included Salim Nourallah & the Travoltas, Colin Boyd and Hunter Hendrickson. Be sure to stop by KXT’s Live Sessions page to see performances of all three inside the KXT studios!

Mark Abuzzahab snapped this picture of North Texas favorite Salim Nourallah at Cedar Street Courtyard.  Always nice to see a familiar face.

You can certainly follow the SXSW coverage from KXT and NPR Music on our website or by heading south to Austin…  For those still in North Texas, check out “SXSW in East Dallas” over at Bryan Street Tavern.  Great shows, great prices.  More deets on their FB page.

Enjoy the video about the February Triple Play by Cameron Smith and stay tuned for the March 22 Triple Play with People on Vacation, Andrew Tinker and Little Black Dress!  Woot!

Good times last night!  Thank you so much to the Kessler Theater and the Dallas Observer for co-hosting a great night of local music.  Jessie Frye, Salim Nourallah & Whiskey Folk Ramblers represented North Texas well.  Pic above - Whiskey Folk Ramblers and below, their soundcheck.

Paul Slavens, host of the Paul Slavens show Sunday nights at 8pm says - Save the date for March 22 for the next installment of Triple Play at The Kessler featuring Little Black Dress, People on Vacation & Andrew Tinker.

There are some things only KXT can do as a radio station in North Texas.  One of them is invite guest dj’s to share their love of music.  Thanks so much to local musician and producer Salim Nourallah for sharing some of his favorites with our audience this past Saturday.  Most of these obscure tunes are inaccessible via itunes, etc.  We’ll post links on where to buy as we are able.
