It’s about 39 miles, give or take, from the heart of Plano to the grounds of Arlington’s AT&T Stadium.

For 18-year-old Plano native and rising pop star @gayle, who will take the stage inside AT&T Stadium on Friday as an opening act for the first of @taylorswift’s three sold-out nights there, it’s a journey she could hardly conceive.

Vocalist and pianist NeLda Washington was a pleasant surprise last week at @bendtdistillingco in Lewisville, when she ended up filling in for her daughter @nadiawashingtonmusic.

The sweet strains of Western swing — a sound per

The sweet strains of Western swing — a sound personified by its perhaps best-known purveyor, Bob Wills — are as indelible a part of Texas’s identity as bluebonnets or oil.

The roots of the genre run deep, and are particularly strong in a venue many thought might never reopen its doors: The @longhornballroom, which first opened its doors in 1950 as the Bob Wills Ranch House.

After several decades of indolence and gradual decline, the venue, rescued from disrepair by the Kessler Theater’s Edwin Cabaniss, will reopen its doors on March 30, with a performance from a band whose own career has endured long enough to play the Longhorn both in the 1970s and now: Asleep at the Wheel (@asleepatthewheel1970).
