THURSDAY-SATURDAY, APRIL 7-9, AT MAJESTIC THEATRE, 1925 ELM ST., $50+ AT AXS.COM Houston singer-songwriter and Texas music leg- end Lyle Lovett will perform for three nights at Dallas’ Majestic Theatre backed by an acoustic band. Each night will include an opening set by a different act. On Thursday night, Lovett will be supported by Nikki Lane whose most recent al- bum, Highway Queen, was recorded at Dallas studio The Echo Lab. Friday’s opening act will be Hayes Carll, and on Saturday, longtime Dallas alt-country band Old 97’s will kick off the show. As for Lovett, the 64-year-old singer will release his 12th studio album, 12th of June, on May 13 — his first in over a decade. The album is said to feature swinging songs with Lovett’s Large Band as well as acoustic ballads, so there is a very good chance we’ll hear some of the new material live before the album’s release. And with three separate acts setting a very different tone for each night, these three dates are certain to be unique. DAVID FLETCHER Snoop Dogg & Ice Cube 7 P.M. SATURDAY, APRIL 9, AT DOS EQUIS PAVILION, 1818 FIRST AVE., $70+ AT LIVENATION.COM On April 20 (or 4/20 for those who are into that kind of thing), hip-hop supergroup Mount West- more will release its debut album Mt. Westmore. On April 9, the members of Mount Westmore — Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too Short and E-40 — will bring their Kings of The West tour to Dos Equis Pa- vilion in Fair Park. The hip-hop supergroup was first imagined by Too Short and E-40 after releas- ing their collaborative albums History: Function Music and History: Mob Music in 2012, but the idea did not come to life until 2020 when the group re- leased their debut single “Step Child.” Not much is known about the new album except that Dr. Dre is said to be making a guest appearance on it, and Eminem is featured on the yet-to-be-released track “From Detroit.” It’s unclear who else the Kings of The West will be bringing to Dallas, but it’s sure to be a night of surprises. DF Dead Mockingbirds 8 P.M. SATURDAY, APRIL 9, AT THREE LINKS, 2704 ELM ST., $10 AT SEETICKETS.US It’s been a while since we heard from Dallas rock band Dead Mockingbirds, and it’s a real treat to be able to see them once again at Three Links in Deep Ellum this Saturday. For the past couple of years, the band’s members have worked on a more mellow project, Frances Heidy, but they will be getting back to their rockin’ roots for a one-off show alongside Dallas indie-rock band The Dying Stars. Dead Mockingbirds released their most recent album, the ironically titled Greatest Hits, in the summer of 2018 on Dreamy Life records. Known for their fast and frantic style of playing, the Dead Mockingbirds put on breathtaking performances back in their day as one of the most sought-after rock bands in North Texas. Now that the band has come back, we certainly hope that there is more in the works, but we can at least be glad to rock out with them once more. DF The Mavericks 7 P.M. SUNDAY, APRIL 10, AT ANNETTE STRAUSS SQUARE, 2389 FLORA ST., $39+ AT ATTPAC.ORG Founded in 1989 by frontman Raul Malo, The Mavericks straddle the thin line that divides the country, rock and Americana genres. For the last three decades, the band has also incorporated elements of Tejano music into its overall sound, but in 2020, The Mavericks released their first al- bum in Spanish, En Español. Sunday evening, The Mavericks bring a multi-cultural and dy- namic live show to the Annette Strauss Square in the AT&T Performing Arts Center. Longtime Mavericks fans and Latin music lovers alike have responded positively to the new album. It de- buted at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Pop Album chart, and found its way onto NPR’s and Rolling Stone’s year-end, best-of lists. At the show, The Mavericks plan to play songs from the new album as well as many of their greatest hits. Singer Raul Malo is also known for playing unex- pected covers during the band’s live sets. DF Journey 7:30 P.M. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, AT AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER, 2500 VICTORY AVE., $86+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM Now fronted by Filipino singer Arnel Pineda, classic rock band Journey will headline a night of soft rock Wednesday night at the American Airlines Center with a little help from TOTO. Founded in 1973 by former members of Santa- na’s and Steve Miller’s backing bands, Journey saw its biggest commercial success with singer Steve Perry between 1978 and 1987. During that time, Journey had 19 songs in the top 40 — the biggest being the inescapable “Don’t Stop Be- lievin’.” Original guitarist Neal Schon and long- time multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Cain remain at the band’s helm, while their 21st century members have taken over the rhythm section. Pineda has been the band’s lead singer since 2007 and has been praised for his vocal range, which has been likened to Journey’s iconic past lead singer Steve Perry. The band’s setlist will in- clude classic Journey songs in addition to cuts from the band’s 2022 release, Freedom.
