Michael O'Neal Band
2024-05-25 20:00 - 23:00
Songs are life, and life is a song. This is what Michael O’Neal might say if you were to ask him about his music. Michael is a 20 year independent artist and veteran of running up and down the roads of Texas and Oklahoma. To the tune of 6 studio records and 2 live records, all while maintaining his day job the entire time. You could say he’s a workingman’s songwriter who only writes what he knows. Picking up a guitar for the first time when he was 25 years old, he will tell you he has a passion for the lyrics and the detail. Michael’s songs are heartfelt and true with the stories to match, he’s been quoted as saying “to me, the story is more important than the rhyme”. Michael’s songs are documents of life’s events, from quitting school in the 3rd grade (only to be forced to return) to watching his Mom iron his shirt before his grandmother’s funeral.
Very heavily influenced by the writing styles of Guy Clark and John Prine, Michael has steadily progressed at selling records and building an audience in his region. He has shared the stage with some of the heaviest hitters in his genre, Fred Eaglesmith, Chris Knight, Steve Earle, and Ray Wiley Hubbard to name a few. His tunes have won the respect of peers and music lovers worldwide. Songs and stories of laughter, tears, disappointment and hope…just like the life we live.

Slugger's Rule
2024-05-31 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
2024-06-15 20:00 - 23:00
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.
