He has released three CDs. To get there, take the Blue Line to Downtown Garland Station. The concert is a few blocks away.

‘til Midnight at the Nasher presents live music, film screenings and all the amazing sculpture the museum is known for. Tonight’s musical lineup features Chancla Fight Club, Aztec Milk Temple, and Pet Taxi, followed by a screening of Sing Street. You can walk to the Nasher Sculpture Center from St. Paul Station on all four DART Rail lines; the M-Line Trolley gets you even closer.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular film, takes the audience to the French Riviera for hijinks and hilarity. Sophisticated and suave, the comedy features a jazzy score and was nominated for 11 Tony Awards. See the performances on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through July 30 at the Granville Arts Center, right next to Downtown Garland Station on the Blue Line.

Disney’s Newsies takes place during the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899. The musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from the big city. After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Kelly and his fellow newsies take action with the help of a beautiful reporter.  Catch it through Aug. 13 at The Firehouse Theatre, walkable from the Green Line’s Farmers Branch Station.
