Rain and humidity wasn’t about to stop the 2nd annual KXT Summer Cut festival from powering on – the people of Texas know what they want, and what they want is to fest!

And what better way to start off June than by filling up Gexa Energy Pavilion in Dallas, with nine different bands serving up a well-rounded mix of the greatest in local acts and national favorites.

Folk Message from a Holler - Yall!

From Summer Cut to Solar Powered followed by The Live Oak just last Friday.  Telegraph Canyon are having no problem spreading their indie/folk/rock message of sound around DFW and beyond.

Although their latest LP, "The Tide and the Current", was released back in 2009 that doesn't suggest the Canyon gang are loosing momentum. A new third album is quickly on it's way and anticipating much fanfare if former albums suggest any predictions.

Ticket holders will get a chance to see and hear two Canyoneers [Chris Johnson & Tamara Brown] at the SOLD OUT August 2nd Barefoot at the Belmont w/ Gary Clark Jr.

TC will be back in Fort Worth August the 10th to play Friday on the Green at Magnolia Green Park.

MAKE SURE you take a second to check out a great video edited/directed by Dane Walters over at KXT of this years KXT Summer Cut [Recap] featuring: "Safe On the Outside" by Telegraph Canyon from The Tide and the Current LP.

Great job and footage Dane!

KXT Summer Cut: An Ecelctic Fun Fest

The Flaming Lips

Friday night publicly funded station KXT 91.7 pulled together an eclectic group of musicians for the first annual Happy Funtime Fest. Two stages, 9 bands and a few food trucks turned the Gexa Energy Pavilion into a mini festival. Thanks to the fabulous peeps here at GoodBAMMSho not only was I on hand to soak in all the tunes, but I had the incredible opportunity to play photog for a night in the press pit! 

Playing on the main stage were Telegraph Canyon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Fitz & The Tantrums, St. Vincent, and headliners The Flaming Lips. A small area by the concessions was carved out for Walk Off The Earth, Quiet Corral, Smile Smile and Air Review on the second stage.
