Slugger's Rule
2024-04-19 20:00 - 23:00
Slugger’s Rule is a rowdy, pub-style Irish band playing your favorite folk and drinking songs.
Slugger’s Rule own brand of Celtic and folk music began around the campfire. It started off getting together around a fire with songs, stories, and a healthy amount of booze. Over time, instruments were added and other influences surfaced, such as new songs from different countries and even a hint of bluegrass in their harmonies. However, their performances today stay rooted to the original fire pit where they would drink, entertain, sing, and discuss the history and meaning of the music that they love.
Today, they sing a collection of Irish, Scottish, Canadian, American, British (only a few!) folk songs and sea shanties. They claim influence from classic groups such as the Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners, but also from more modern groups such as The Pogues, Gaelic Storm, and Great Big Sea. Their music is a story, and the performance is a conversation with the audience.
Sláinte,
Slugger’s Rule

Driveway Dive
2024-04-20 20:00 - 23:00, 2024-05-06 19:00 - 22:00
Driveway Dive is a local independent DFW rock band based out of Plano, TX. The band formed in 2018 when Gabe Gotay, Jacob Essy, and Sebastian Hardy moved in together. While Gabe primarily played guitar, he also had a drum set that he setup in their new garage. While his new roommates were initially annoyed, Jacob quickly picked up the sticks and Sebastian joined soon after on bass. After a few months of jamming, Gabe called his old college friend Joshua Stone to join them as a singer and second guitarist.
Over the past 3 years they have played all around DFW; from local bars and breweries to clubs like Sundown at Granada, Ruins, The Foundation Room, as well as private events and annual charities such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk, Big Climb Dallas, or the North Texas Pride Festival in Plano and Frisco.
In May of 2022 they went to Reeltime Audio Recording Studio in Denton, Texas where Eric Delegard (famous for producing the first 3 Bowling for Soup records in that studio) helped them record their 9 best originals. The album released on September 23rd, and the band played a celebratory show at Sundown at Granada. They continue to play with other local bands and open for touring acts in the DFW market.

The Payback Quartet
2024-05-03 20:00 - 23:00
As charming as they are talented, as tight with the soul tradition as they are loose and surprising, The Payback Quartet calls back to 1970s New Orleans instrumental jams while it ventures into new territory. Ryan’s 1966 bass and Nick’s pocket drums drive the groove, while Sean’s Meters-inspired organ riffs and Will’s red-hot guitar will make your head bop and put a twitch in your hips. Blues, funk.
