KXT 91.7 Presents Lucero

Memphis country-punk rock ensemble Lucero has been making music together for a long time — this year marking their 20th anniversary as a band.

KXT 91.7 Presents The Record Company
Saturday, November 3
Granada Theater
Get tickets here.
Perhaps by now, The Record Company’s story is a well-known one: a trio of musicians grit it out on their own for years in bars and clubs, join forces in LA, set up some microphones in a living room and cut an album that turned their world upside down. Released in 2016, Give It Back To You spawned three Top-Ten hits at Triple-A radio stations across the country, earned the band a slew of festival appearances and sold-out headline dates around the world and even garnered a GRAMMY nomination. Catch them at this historic Dallas venue, with openers Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear!
