It’s all about feeling free artistically. Now\, The Sword—John Cronise [vocals\, guitar]\, Kyle Shutt [guitar]\, Bryan Richie [bass]\, and Santiago Vela III [drums]—cut out boundaries since day one. Their style never stood predicated on a trend or a template. They always create what feels right and let the results speak for themselves. \nWhen it came time to record the group’s fifth full-length album\, High Country [Razor & Tie]\, Cronise landed at something of a spiritual crossroads. Following the final tour for their critically acclaimed Apocryphon\, he holed up in his North Carolina home and eventually began writing new songs. The material began to veer into a different space that at the time Cronise felt was somewhat outside of The Sword’s sphere. \n“I didn’t even intend for the demos to be Sword songs\,” he explains. “But then I realized that I had taken on a sort of limiting view of what The Sword was\, and that wasn’t actually what I wanted it to be. I think the new album is more reflective of the music I listen to and where our heads are at collectively. With each of our albums\, it’s become less about fury and bombast and more about trying to write good songs. We realized that our music can go wherever we want it to go. There’s no pre-determined course here now\, and there never was.” \nHigh Country became new territory for The Sword\, and they began doing things differently. That approach included more attention to backing vocals and harmonies\, implementing more synthesizers and percussion elements\, and tuning to E-flat instead of all the way down to C. As a result\, the guitars stand out as more vital and vibrant than ever. \n“I felt like the low tuning had become more of a crutch than a tool\,” he says. “It was all a matter of trying to keep things fresh\, and not fall prey to habits or expectations. We wanted to break out of any classifications and just put out a good rock record.” \nInspired\, the boys headed to Church House Recording Studio in Austin\, TX to cut High Country with Adrian Quesada of Brownout and Grupo Fantasma producing\, Stuart Sykes [The White Stripes] engineering\, and J. Robbins mixing. Over the course of four weeks\, they hammered out the album’s 15 tracks in the old converted church. Thematically though\, Cronise’s head was still in North Carolina. \n“There are a lot of lyrical themes that run throughout the album\,” he explains. “I live out in the mountains\, so nature really inspired the whole record. That’s a large part of the lyrics.” \nThe title track and first single “High Country” springs from a transfixing guitar melody into a sweeping refrain\, illuminating the group’s inherent dynamics. Over those rolling riffs\, the singer paints a thought-provoking topography. \n“That was actually the first song I wrote that ended up going on the record\,” he says. “The title can have quite a few meanings. Physically\, it might mean mountains and literal high country\, but it can also refer to a plane of being; a place of wisdom and enlightenment.” \n“Empty Temples” opens with a psychedelic buzz that quickly ramps up into towering guitars and another robust vocal display evocative of rock’s golden age. \n“It’s loose and swinging\, but it has these epic moments\,” says Cronise. “Lyrically\, it’s about letting go of the past and moving on. You just have faith if you embrace change and be unafraid\, and you’ll find where you need to go.” \nThe gathering storm of “Early Snow” eventually gives way to a rapturous horn section\, another first for the band\, while “Mist and Shadow” stirs up a haze of blues that’s instantly thunderous. “That song is based around riffs written by Bryan\, which is a new thing for us. He contributed quite a bit of music to this album\, and in many ways it’s our most collaborative work to date.” \nBoth “The Dreamthieves” and “Tears Like Diamonds” have titles inspired by the work of science fiction author Michael Moorcock\, though Cronise insists the lyrics have lives of their own. “I’d prefer to let people interpret the songs how they want\,” he says\, “which is one reason the lyrics aren’t printed in the album sleeve this time. I think they’re pretty intelligible and accessible\, and I didn’t want them to distract from the music.” \nThe Sword’s impact continues to expand. 2012’s Apocryphon debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200\, marking their highest entry on the chart. Since first emerging with 2006’s Age of Winters\, the group has been extolled by everyone from Rolling Stone and The Washington Post to Revolver and Decibel. Metallica personally chose them as support for a global tour\, and they’ve earned high-profile syncs in movies including Jennifer’s Body and Jonas Åkerlund’s Horsemen. However\, High Country is the band’s biggest\, boldest\, and brightest frontier. \n“I want to make positive\, uplifting music\,” Cronise leaves off. “High Country has moments of darkness and thoughtfulness\, as anything I write probably will. But at the end of the day I want to put smiles on people’s faces.” \n  URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/the-sword-red-fang/ LOCATION:The Bomb Factory\, 2713 Canton Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 75226\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/314aed491ebdb3473fec46c1925009d2.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260807T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260807T190000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260512T151437Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T151437Z UID:10010612-1786129200-1786129200@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Blood Brothers (feat. Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia) DESCRIPTION:Two of modern blues’ most electrifying guitarists. One explosive stage. \nBlood Brothers brings together award winning blues guitarists and vocalists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia\, combining decades of road tested experience with searing guitar work\, gritty storytelling\, and high energy performances that have made the duo one of the most exciting collaborations on today’s blues circuit. \nTheir latest album Help Yourself has earned widespread acclaim and multiple award nominations\, further cementing their reputation for powerful songwriting and electrifying live shows. \n“Two of the hardest working musicians in blues today.” — Joe Bonamassa \nZito and Castiglia also power the band behind Bill Murray in Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers. \nMike Zito \nFrom his childhood in St. Louis to the global blues-rock circuit\, Mike Zito has always kept it real. He began playing guitar at age five and by his late teens was a fixture on the St. Louis music scene. For Zito\, honesty\, authenticity\, and integrity aren’t just part of the brand—they’re the foundation. “I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most\,” he once told Vintage Guitar. \nZito is a powerhouse in modern blues rock. He’s an artist whose gritty guitar work\, deeply human songwriting\, and magnetic stage presence have made him a defining force in the genre. From smoke-filled bars in St. Louis to major festival stages around the world\, he has built a career on emotional honesty\, fearless playing\, and an unshakable commitment to the song. \nIn 2025\, Zito claimed the Blues Music Award for Blues Rock Album of the Year with Life Is Hard\, a deeply personal and sonically bold record that cements his place among the genre’s elite. The win followed his 2024 sweep\, where he was honored with Blues Rock Album of the Year and Blues Rock Artist of the Year\, reflecting both his creative output and his relentless touring schedule. \nA lifelong road warrior\, Zito has spent decades sharpening his craft onstage\, channeling the sounds of classic blues\, rock\, soul\, and Americana into something unmistakably his own. His live shows are equal parts fire and heart: searing solos\, powerhouse grooves\, and storytelling that invites audiences straight into his world. \nZito also plays a major role behind the scenes as a respected producer and co-founder of Gulf Coast Records\, championing fellow artists and helping shape some of the most exciting new music in today’s blues landscape. \nOnstage and on record\, Zito currently moves through three distinct but connected lanes. Under his own name\, Mike Zito delivers the raw\, personal\, guitar-driven blues rock that fans across the world have come to love. He also co-leads Blood Brothers with Albert Castiglia\, a high-energy\, guitar-slinging band built on friendship\, shared history\, and a near-telepathic musical connection. Their chemistry has earned praise from some of the biggest names in blues: as Joe Bonamassa put it\, “Mike and Albert have a special chemistry together when they plug in and play that few have. They finish each other’s sentences musically… Great tunes\, great people\, great hang!” \nAlbert himself adds\, “Mike is the hardest working man in show business and a force as a singer\, guitarist\, producer\, and songwriter. There’s nothing the man can’t do. He’s also got a heart of gold\, raising money for countless causes. He’s a credit to the blues rock genre!” \nAnd then there’s Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers\, a more theatrical\, humor-driven extension of the Blood Brothers universe letting Zito and the band lean into joy\, storytelling\, and over-the-top rock ’n’ roll while staying anchored in the same serious musical fire. \nWhether he’s fronting his own band\, locking in with Albert in Blood Brothers\, or steering the wild heart of Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers\, Mike Zito is always chasing the same thing: real connection. The songs are honest\, the guitar is loud\, and the heart is wide open—and that’s exactly how he intends to keep it. \n  \nAlbert Castiglia \n\nFlorida-raised blues powerhouse Albert Castiglia has earned his reputation the hard way through relentless touring\, fearless guitar work\, and a deep respect for the tradition that fuels his modern edge. A former protégé of blues legend Junior Wells\, Castiglia cut his teeth backing icons before stepping fully into his own as a commanding solo artist. \nOver the course of his acclaimed solo career\, Castiglia has released a string of celebrated albums praised for their raw honesty\, sharp songwriting\, and incendiary guitar tone. His work has earned multiple Blues Music Award wins and nominations\, and his live shows are equal parts grit\, groove\, and soul making him a staple on the international blues and roots circuit. Critics consistently highlight his ability to balance reverence for classic blues with a forward-leaning\, contemporary fire. \nIn addition to his solo work\, Castiglia is one half of Blood Brothers\, the electrifying collaboration with Mike Zito. Together\, the duo has released chart-topping albums and toured extensively\, delivering high-octane performances that blend searing guitar interplay with hard-won storytelling. The Blood Brothers project has become one of modern blues’ most celebrated partnerships. \nCastiglia is also a featured member of Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers\, the genre-bending ensemble led by the iconic actor. The project has drawn widespread attention for its musical credibility\, spontaneity\, and joy introducing blues to new audiences while earning respect from longtime fans. \nWhether fronting his own band\, trading licks as part of Blood Brothers\, or sharing the stage with Bill Murray\, Albert Castiglia remains a fiercely authentic voice in modern blues grounded in tradition\, fueled by experience\, and always playing from the gut.  \n  URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/blood-brothers-feat-mike-zito-and-albert-castiglia/ LOCATION:The Kessler Theater\, 1230 West Davis Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 75208\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/25f43b3d3c5fb855c2b9f83c0e4514f5.webp ORGANIZER;CN="The Kessler Theater":MAILTO:jeff@thekessler.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260807T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260807T190000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260411T005553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260411T005553Z UID:10010108-1786129200-1786129200@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Kesha: The Freedom Tour DESCRIPTION: URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/kesha-the-freedom-tour/ LOCATION:Dos Equis Pavilion\, 3839 S Fitzhugh Avenue\, Dallas\, TX\, 75210\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/yr3xxQMDqdRMazBrF7X14A4nRk53QaIuVmSce24YAkg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260807 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260810 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260312T152818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T152818Z UID:10009719-1786060800-1786319999@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Texas Rangers host Baltimore Orioles DESCRIPTION:Friday:  7:05pm \nSaturday:  6:15pm \nSunday:  1:35pm URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/texas-rangers-host-baltimore-orioles/ LOCATION:Globe Life Field\, 734 Stadium Drive\, Arlington\, TX\, 76011\, United States CATEGORIES:Professional Sports ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/eovaldi-2026.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260806T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260806T210000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260512T183043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T183043Z UID:10010672-1786050000-1786050000@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Chayce Beckham DESCRIPTION:We look forward to welcoming Chayce Beckham to Billy Bob’s Texas on Thursday\, August 6\, 2026. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards!

An artistic triumph in every sense\, the beloved\, million-selling band’s third studio album is unequivocally its finest\, building on the strength of past accomplishments while celebrating a newfound allegiance with Epitaph. \n  \n“Making this record felt like starting over\,” says Dan Marsala\, frontman for the St. Louis-reared quintet. “We’re like a brand new band. You can hear it in these songs\, we’re excited again. I think we’ve really stepped it up on this record.” \n  \nIf Story of the Year’s career achievements – from 2003’s smash debut Page Avenue to headlining massive festivals such as the Van’s Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos\, to world tours with the likes of My Chemical Romance\, Linkin Park and The Used – have been abundant\, they’ve also been the result of the esteemed modern rock outfit’s tireless work ethic and willingness to push boundaries musically. Approaching the follow-up to 2005’s In the Wake of Determination with a burst of creative freedom\, Story of the Year – which also counts guitarists Ryan Phillips and Philip Sneed\, bassist Adam Russell and drummer Josh Wills – elevates The Black Swan with these same key convictions. \n  \nLeaps and bounds beyond the standards of what an alt-rock anthem can be in 2008\, the remarkably powerful\, hopeful and deeply personal “Tell Me” is undeniable. “It opens with a fucking gnarly\, classic riff that hits you right between the eyes\,” Ryan enthuses. \n  \nFerocious and thought-provoking\, The Black Swan finds Story of the Year in the rare position of being one of the biggest bands in the world\, while being left to its own devices to evolve and flourish creatively. \n  \n“I hope people really read into the lyrics and respect the fact that we don’t sing about lollipops and gummi-bears\,” Ryan explains. “Musically\, we’ve grown so much. We have some very unique\, timeless\, face melting guitar riffs and solos that have come to define our sound\, without compromising the idea of a classic song.” URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/story-of-the-year-silverstein/ LOCATION:The Bomb Factory\, 2713 Canton Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 75226\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2206df37fc2dc624d156a866633701ad.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T220000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260512T183043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T183043Z UID:10010671-1785621600-1785621600@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Jo Dee Messina DESCRIPTION:We look forward to welcoming Jo Dee Messina to Billy Bob’s Texas on Saturday\, August 1\, 2026. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards!

After signing with Secret Road Music Publishing at 17\, he quickly gained traction with early placements like “Up\, Up & Away” in the film Five Feet Apart and later earned a Grammy nomination for co-writing John Legend’s song “Conversations in the Dark.” Peña has since released three EPs\, numerous singles\, and his 2024 debut album Ever-Shifting\, Continual Blossoming\, amassing over a billion Spotify streams to date and selling out tours across the US\, UK\, and Europe. He’s collaborated with artists across various genres\, from working with KYGO and Julia Michels on 2024’s “Louder\,” to joining country-rock singer/songwriter Sam Barber for the duet “Better Than the Floor.” Peña’s work radiates a contagious warmth\, and his latest Columbia Records release When I Change My Mind I Don’t Mean It (2025) marks his most ambitious project yet. The 14-track album is a soul-searching collection written in a remote California cabin\, steeped in the immersive indie-folk that’s made him one of the most magnetic voices to emerge in recent years. He is currently on the road supporting Tom Odell in Europe/UK and just wrapped a tour with one of his earliest influences\, The Lumineers\, on their 20-date Automatic World Tour. “It’s been so cool to watch the music connect with people live\, and to hear them sing with me\,” he says. “I like to say music is a remedy for reality\, because no matter what you’re going through — whether it’s happy or sad\, good or bad — you’re not alone in that.” URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/chance-peu00f1a/ LOCATION:The Bomb Factory\, 2713 Canton Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 75226\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/79ad501462a117324710f21945e80fd7.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T190000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260512T160006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T160006Z UID:10010649-1785610800-1785610800@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:DON TRIP W/SPECIAL GUEST: THA LANDLORD DESCRIPTION: URL:https://whatsupdallas.co/event/don-trip-w-special-guest-tha-landlord/ LOCATION:Trees Dallas\, 2709 Elm Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 75226\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://whatsupdallas.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/82e9dbbc62e13793590fd19ff0295721.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260801T190000 DTSTAMP:20260518T040802 CREATED:20260512T151437Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T153003Z UID:10010610-1785610800-1785610800@whatsupdallas.co SUMMARY:Hard Night's Day with special guest Big Mike Richardson DESCRIPTION:Hard Night’s Day \nA Hard Night’s Day is an all Beatles Tribute Band from Dallas TX that originated in March of  1994.

The band name “DOES” is derived from the word for a female deer (doe). Their raw energy quickly caught the attention of major labels in Tokyo\, leading to their major debut with Ki/oon Records (Sony Music) in 2006.\n2007 – 2010: Breaking into the Mainstream The band skyrocketed to fame with the single “Shura\,” used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Gintama\,” debuting at No. 9 on the Oricon charts. Their 2008 single “Donten” climbed to No. 3\, becoming a massive hit with over 200\,000 digital downloads—a rare feat for a rock band at the time. In 2009\, they appeared in the blockbuster film Crows Zero II (directed by Takashi Miike)\, where they performed on screen. Director Miike praised the band\, saying\, “DOES is a band of beautiful\, stripped-down honesty.” Their 2010 smash hit “Bakuchi Dancer” sold over 100\,000 physical copies and remained in the Top 10 for three consecutive weeks.\n2011 – 2016: Global Recognition and Hiatus During this period\, DOES continued to dominate the anime scene\, providing themes for Space Brothers (“Yumemiru Sekai”) and NARUTO Shippuden (“Guren”). They celebrated their 10th anniversary with sold-out tours and the release of their self-titled 6th album DOES. In 2016\, following the release of their 10th-anniversary single “KNOW KNOW KNOW” and the 7th album INNOCENCE\, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after a final show at Akasaka BLITZ.\n2020 – 2023: The Resurrection and Global Expansion On January 1\, 2020\, DOES officially resumed activities. They returned to the Gintama franchise with “Douraku Shinjou” and “Breakdown” for the film Gintama: THE FINAL (2021)\, which hit No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Rock Chart. In 2022\, the band took their powerful live show global\, headlining the final day of SAUDI ANIME EXPO 2022 in Riyadh to massive acclaim.
