Looking back on it, Ellie Turner (@ejaneturn) can’t single out a specific catalyst that led her to this moment. The Dallas native, now a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, simply took one day at a time. Life unfolded in such a way that she now stands on the precipice of releasing her debut album, “When the Trouble’s All Done,” which drops Friday. Full story at the link in our bio!

The life and art of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan lo The life and art of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan long ago passed into Texas musical myth. His was an incandescent, once-in-a-generation talent taken from the world far too soon. Despite having first achieved success with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Vaughan’s older brother, Jimmie, often seems to be shortchanged when it comes to his own abilities and influence — somewhat lost in the long shadow of his sibling, but also somewhat overlooked by subsequent generations. Tickets for the “Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues" Friday screening at @texastheatre are still available! Tap the link in our bio for the full story! 📸: Freestyle Digital Media
There’s a vivid sense of propulsion underpinning There’s a vivid sense of propulsion underpinning the Dirty Shirts’ (@thedirtyshirtsus) latest single, “Heart Attack,” which makes total sense — this is not a band content to rest on its laurels. The new track, co-produced by Jeff Saenz, is illustrative of the elastic sonic boundaries the Dallas band affords itself — disco-dusted, laced with gritty guitars and glowing with vocal harmonies. “Heart Attack” made its worldwide premiere last week on KXT’s The Local Show.
