If you're looking for a reason to leave the house this weekend, here are five shows happening across DFW that are worth your time. We keep this list focused on local and regional Texas artists — the kind of shows that keep the scene moving.
**1. Faded Blue** at Guitars & Growlers — Flower Mound — Saturday, July 25. Show at 7:00 PM. Free admission.
Three sets: original music from their latest releases and new tunes (7–8), a full hour of blues covering Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, and Stevie Ray Vaughan (8–9), and an open mix to close out the night (9–10). Free to get in. Find them on https://radiusfm.app/events/6002488a-eb0f-4bb1-a4d2-96acda636b8f.
**2. Daniel Markham (with Adam Faucett)** at Dan's Silverleaf (Denton) — Saturday, July 25. Doors at 8:00 PM.
Daniel Markham is a Denton staple. If you haven't seen him play in his hometown, you're missing a piece of the local indie rock fabric.
**3. Not Milk, Junk Car Girls, Holloway, and Sonia Is Dead** at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios (Denton) — Sunday, July 26. Doors at 7:00 PM.
A genuinely solid local bill in the Rubber Room. Denton's Junk Car Girls and Dallas songwriter Kirk Holloway anchor a lineup that shows off how broad the DFW sound actually is right now.
**4. Rockin' the Summer Music Festival** at Underdog Restaurant & Sports Club (Dallas) — Saturday July 25 & Sunday July 26. Doors at 1:00 PM both days.
Two days of all-original Texas rock. American Jetset headlines Saturday. Sunday brings Sonic Volt, Arsenic Kitchen, Texas Dan, and more. One ticket covers both days. All ages.
**5. School of Rock AllStars** at Tulips FTW (Fort Worth) — Saturday, July 25. Show at 12:30 PM.
Something different for a Saturday afternoon. If you want to see the next generation of Fort Worth musicians before they start their own bands, this is where they are.
Go support local music. And if you're a Texas artist playing this weekend that I missed, drop your show details in the comments.
