Our opening artists for the show this week have something in common: Both Ferguson and White will be playing Posty’s Travelin’ Tailgate today May 9 at AT&T Stadium (Globe Life Field Lot N) before Post Malone’s “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell. Tailgate is from 12pm-6pm, the event is completely free and open to the public with no purchase of concert tickets necessary.

Closing out the show, KXT got to premiere Dallas artist Rafa‘s new single “MAMÁ QUÉ HICISTE,” in honor of his mom for Mother’s Day. Rafa says it’s the most he’s used his Northen Mexican roots in a song, and the song’s artwork features a photo of his mother.
Sean Foster
North East Texas songwriter Sean Foster bares his soul in “Let the River Take Me,” a taste from his upcoming debut album The Pilgrim Sketches–set to release May 16.
Catch his album release show this Saturday May 10 at AllGood Cafe, where he will have physical copies–CDs and vinyls–a lifelong dream realized. Show starts at 7pm with Laura Harrell opening.
Fort Worth artist Clint Niosi’s brand new single “Climbing the Walls” gives a peek into the complex EP he’s been working on, Metamorphosis.
Born from his original score and four haunting songs written for Hip Pocket Theatre’s fall production of Kafka’s classic novella “Metamorphosis,” this new EP transforms the live performance into a fully realized studio experience. With his band fleshing out the material, The Metamorphosis EP captures the absurdity, tension, and existential horror of Kafka’s world—now reimagined as a wild, sonic journey.
Catch the experience live at the EP release show Thursday May 29 at The Wild Detectives in Bishop Arts, with support from Atom & Eve. He’ll also play Saturday May 31 at Hip Pocket Theater in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth band The Vintage Yell just released “good 4 u” yesterday, their cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s song with an Adele-style sensibility and gritty Texas guitar.
