SUNDAY, FEB. 5, THE STUDIO AT THE FACTORY, 2727 CANTON ST. $35 AT AXS.COM The Old 97’s had already found national success by 2001, even being featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. But at that time, the alt-country band from Dallas decided to give back to its hometown with “The Tour of Deep Ellum,” playing back-to-back nights that November at Trees and the legendary Gypsy Tea Room. Twenty-two years later, the band is back with an even bigger and better tour of Deep Ellum, playing four nights in a row at two Deep Ellum venues, each night with a different opener. On Thursday and Friday, the band will dig deep into its roots playing at the Sons of Hermann Hall where they have found a home since the mid- ’90s. On Saturday, when the tour heads down the road to The Studio at the Factory, Old 97’s will have opening support from Denton alt-country band Slobberbone on, and for the only show that hasn’t sold out, Dallas Americana band The O’s performs. All shows start at 7 p.m. DAVID FLETCHER Ryan Bingham 9 P.M. THURSDAY, FEB. 2, BILLY BOB’S TEXAS, 2520 RODEO PLAZA, $85+ AT STUBHUB.COM 10 P.M. FRIDAY, FEB. 3, BILLY BOB’S TEXAS, 2520 RODEO PLAZA, $184+ AT STUBHUB.COM Ryan Bingham had already released two criti- cally acclaimed albums before T-Bone Burnett got a hold of him in 2009. As well-received as 2007’s Mescalito and 2009’s Roadhouse Sun were, both albums failed to earn the New Mex- ico songwriter the praise that his deeply soulful and confessional songwriting style truly de- served. All that changed with the film Crazy Heart. Bingham had a small role acting as the singer for the bowling alley backup band Tony and the Renegades, but he won an Oscar with T- Bone Burnett for writing the movie’s theme song “The Weary Kind.” Bingham has continued to pursue his acting career alongside his singing career, most recently as the recurring character Walker on the neo-Western drama Yellowstone. Bingham plays back-to-back sold out shows at Billy Bob’s Texas this weekend with local sup- port from The Texas Gentlemen. DF Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone 7 P.M. FRIDAY, FEB. 3, ARLINGTON MUSIC HALL, 224 N. CENTER ST. $19+ AT EVENTBRITE.COM In 1964 at age 15, singer Peter Noone achieved in- ternational fame fronting British beat band Her- man’s Hermits. That same year, a little band from Liverpool called The Beatles launched the so- called British Invasion, which saw dozens of British acts making their way across the pond to perform for an American audience that just couldn’t get enough. Over the next decade, Herman’s Hermits would rack up multiple hits on both sides of the Atlantic including “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am” and “Dandy.” To date, Herman’s Hermits have sold over 60 million recordings with 14 singles and seven albums going gold. While Noone is no longer an official member of the band and has to tour as “Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone” for legal reasons, he will be bringing all of the group’s hits to the stage Friday night in Arlington. DF Legendz of the Streetz: Reloaded Tour 5:30 P.M. SUNDAY, FEB. 5, AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER, 2500 VICTORY AVE. $106+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM If you like the beat down low, the top let back, with rims that sit high and windows pitch black, have we got a show for you. Over half a dozen of your favorite acts from those radio days will be taking over American Airlines Center for the Legendz of the Streetz Tour. While it’s hard to say exactly how the show will be organized — whether one act will follow another or if it will be more in the style of a cypher — fans can look forward to seeing some of the most celebrated rappers from the East Coast like Jadakiss and Cam’ron as well as Southeastern Rappers Jeezy, T.I., Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and Trina. Performing along with this collection of rappers is the new- comer and Memphis rapper Jucee Froot. DF Suki Waterhouse 7 P.M. MONDAY, FEB. 6, THE ECHO LOUNGE & MUSIC HALL, 1323 N. STEMMONS FWY. $20+ AT LIVENATION.COM English model, actress and singer Suki Water- house has had her hand in entertainment since the age of 16 when she was discovered out shop- ping. While one would expect a model to turn to pop music like so many before her, Waterhouse turned instead toward indie rock, recording and performing as an independent artist until last year when she signed with the legendary record label Sub Pop, which is credited for launching grunge music. Waterhouse’s music fits in well with the Sub Pop legacy with angsty songs about unrequited love and longing sung to the rhythm of ’90s alt-rock. Monday night, Waterhouse will have opening support from Los Angeles alt-pop artist Blondshell, who signed with independent label Partisan Records last fall.
