FRANKLINS TATTOO AND SUPPLY 469-904-2665 • 4910 COLUMBIA AVE, DALLAS, TX 75214 Bailey Hart Joshua Radin 7 P.M. THURSDAY, JAN. 13, AT THE KESSLER, 1230 W. DAVIS ST., $28+ AT PREKINDLE.COM Joshua Radin had an unlikely start to his career. A longtime friend of actor Zach Braff from his time at Northwestern University, Radin’s very first composition “Winter” was used on the sit- com Scrubs in 2004. Considered one of the very best episodes of the show, it features Brendan Fraser as Ben, a character who dies, and as the show cuts to his funeral, “Winter” plays in the background. Radin had released no songs in any format at that point in his career, but the poi- gnant use of the song in the episode created a demand that made Radin an immediate success in the world of acoustic folk. Radin has released nine albums since then, and his songs have been featured in countless TV shows and movies for their stunning emotional depth. Radin plays Thursday night at The Kessler with opening sup- port from pop, folk and soul singer Molly Parden. DAVID FLETCHER Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights 8 P.M. FRIDAY, JAN. 14, AT GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE., $20+ AT PREKINDLE.COM Formed in Dallas in 2007, Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights hit the ground running, wasting no time before putting out the debut album Hot Trottin’ the very same year. A blues-rock band down its core, the band rounded out its sound with soul through the addition of backup singer Emotion Brown to the lineup. It was in this for- mat that Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights began to attract national attention, opening for a variety of touring acts such as Erykah Badu, Kool & The Gang, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Lynyrd Skynyrd. 2010’s Pardon Me earned the band even more attention from the national press as the single “Gypsy Woman” climbed the U.S. rock charts. Since then, Tyler has recorded mostly under his own name, still bringing the rock ’n’ soul wherever he goes. Austin singer- songwriter Reid Umstattd opens for Tyler and company Friday night at the Granada Theater. DF Trampled By Turtles 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 15, at The Factory in Deep Ellum, 2713 Canton St., $40+ at axs.com Minnesota bluegrass band Trampled By Turtles rounds out a three-day run through Texas Sat- urday night at The Factory in Deep Ellum with Rhode Island folk-rock band Deer Tick. Tram- pled By Turtles took the bluegrass world by storm in 2009 when its fifth album, Palomino, stayed in the top 10 bluegrass albums for a full year. The album even had some crossover suc- cess. As indie folk bands like The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons stomped and hollered their way into the mainstream, Palomino put the Turtles on the indie-rock charts. With a lineup made up entirely of string instrument players, Trampled By Turtles makes high-en- ergy bluegrass music for the people. In other words, you don’t have to have a deep apprecia- tion for Appalachian music and culture to dig into the music, just a desire to move and maybe a dance partner. DF Washed Out 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 15, at Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave., $30 at prekindle.com Ernest Weatherly Greene Jr. (aka Washed Out) is a bedroom pop artist who kicked off his ca- reer on MySpace back in the late ’00s. Bedroom pop is a kind of lo-fi pop music often produced in the musician’s home. Unlike pop music heard on Top 40 radio, bedroom pop does not aim to get you up and dancing but for you to chill out, kick back and listen. Think of the opening theme music to Portlandia and how it sparkles and fades into a slow bassline that gets heads bob- bing while the rest of the body stays motionless. That intro is “Feel it All Around” from the 2009 EP Life of Leisure by Washed Out. Joining Washed Out on Saturday night at Granada The- ater is Brijean, an Oakland-based music and art collaboration between percussionist Toro y Moi Brijean Murphy and multi-instrumentalist and producer Doug Stuart. DF Bell Biv DeVoe 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15, at Texas Trust CU Theater, 1001 Performance Place, $39.75+ at axs.com When Bell Biv DeVoe released its first album, Poi- son, in 1990, the R&B world was turned on its head by the sound of new jack swing. The new genre mixed elements of hip-hop, dance-pop and con- temporary R&B into something that was fresh and funky. The album’s title track soared on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and effectively distanced Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe from their time with Boston-based quintet New Edition. The group would only release three more albums over the next three decades, and none of those albums would ever match the success of its debut. Still, Bell Biv Devoe never stopped touring and per- forming for adoring fans. The trio headlines the MLK R&B Weekend this Sunday at the Texas Trust CU Theater in Grand Prairie, which offers even more favorites from the ’90s including Jagged Edge, 112, 702 and Tony! Toni! Toné!
