North Texas is home to a wealth of top-quality music groups and institutions; on any given day, year-round, the question is not "Is there a good concert?" but "How many of them can we attend?" Symphony orchestra, chamber music, and solo classical performances; college recitals, jazz, folk, bluegrass, inspired genre fusions—in concert halls and church auditoriums, in clubs and bars, in parks and on street corners*—there is music everywhere you turn.
To make it easier for you to find the ideal musical outing, we are working on assembling links to some of the many area musicians, groups, and institutions that schedule public performances. Enjoy!

Beatlegras isn't just for Beatles fans, but for those of us who love great musicianship played out as one of the sweetest sounds imagineable. A sound that remains constantly in my CD player.
—Gary Cogill, movie critic, WFAA
When a cover band approaches the original material with a style and sensibility all its own, they can establish themselves as artists in their own right, building on existing material to create something entirely fresh and unexpected. That's exactly the effect that fans of the Dallas trio rave about....
