What is going on this week in the D? A light but good work week of shows with heavily buzzed Dawes coming to Fort Worth which should be definitely worth checking out. And then we have the Dallas Observer Music Awards Showcases hitting this Saturday night in Deep Ellum, which will certainly be the place to be with a ton of great local bands plus the guest appearance of Lucero, The Secret Machines and the greatness of The Cool Kids on the outdoor stage. You could also satisfy your nostalgic appetite with either Weird Al Yankovic or Kenny Rogers on Friday night. Additionally, a ton of great shows got announced this past week, so check all those out at the bottom of the post.
