22 September 21 - 27, 2023 dallasobserver.com DALLAS OBSERVER Classified | MusiC | dish | Culture | unfair Park | Contents Beth Orton 7 P.M. THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, THE KESSLER, 1230 W. DAVIS ST. $36+ AT PREKINDLE.COM In the early ‘90s, Beth Orton was a young folk art- ist in England’s bustling electronic music scene. She had just lost her mother and had spent some time in Thailand studying and living with Buddhist nuns. When she returned home, her original voice found an audience in both electronic and folk cir- cles. Orton’s guitar could charm any coffee house, but it also made for a great addition to works by electronic artists such as Chemical Brothers and Andrew Weatherall. For three decades now, Or- ton’s music has toed the line between folk and electronic music, embracing the deep introspec- tion of folk music and the otherworldliness of elec- tronica. The result is a sound that is fragile and bold, meditating on life’s biggest questions, but never so egotistical as to provide answers. Orton’s intimate show in Oak Cliff will have local support from Pneumatic Tubes, a side project of Jesse Chandler from Midlake, and Mercury Rev. DAVID FLETCHER Beyoncé 8 P.M. THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, AT&T STADIUM, 1 AT&T WAY. $150+ AT SEATGEEK.COM All summer long, pop superstar Beyoncé has been touring Europe, Canada and the rest of the U.S., but now, after four months of touring and almost a year of waiting since it was first teased, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour will finally be making its first stop in the singer’s home state. We’ve all seen plenty of images and videos of Beyoncé’s concert online to know that this concert will be nothing short of spectacular from its stage setup to its cos- tuming to the singer’s massive 30+ song, career- spanning setlist. It’s all going down on the largest stage in North Texas, which has been sold out for some time now, but verified resale tickets are still available starting at $150 to stand in the fan zones of AT&T Stadium. Due to the size and scale of the concert, there is no opening act for the show, just three hours of nonstop Beyoncé that will keep you talking about it for years to come. DF Jelly Roll 7 P.M. SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, DOS EQUIS PAVILION, 1818 FIRST AVE. $121+ AT LIVENATION.COM As hip-hop began exploring its softer, confes- sional side, and country music embraced elec- tronic elements like the clap track, it makes sense that an artist would emerge from this time who would emerge from this time with the ability to perfectly blend hip-hop and country music into a seamless work of art. Jelly Roll has been at it since 2004, but he’s only recently seeing the fruits of his labor. At the age of 16, Jelly Roll be- gan drawing inspiration from other rappers in Memphis and selling mixtapes out of his car. Jelly Roll’s music never transcended the R&B label un- til A Beautiful Disaster was released on the eve of the pandemic lockdowns. By November 2021, the artist was invited to play the Grand Ole Opry. Ear- lier this year, Jelly Roll released Whitsitt Chapel, which went to No. 1 on Billboard’s rock chart, No. 2 on its country chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200. His Backroad Baptism Tour will see opening support from Three 6 Mafia, Struggle Jennings and Josh Adam Meyers. DF Corey Taylor 6:30 P.M. MONDAY, SEPT. 25, HOUSE OF BLUES, 2200 N. LAMAR ST. $45+ AT LIVENATION.COM Singer Corey Taylor is probably best known for the time he has spent behind the mask as the lead singer of heavy metal band Slipknot, which has been going strong for well over two decades now. Taylor also spent time serving his softer side sing- ing with hard rock band Stone Sour. When Stone Sour went on an indefinite hiatus in 2020, Taylor decided to take the Stone Sour model and make a solo career out of it, releasing CMFT that October and its follow-up CMF2 last week. When a singer goes solo from their band, the result can be hit or miss, but in Taylor’s case, it has been a definite hit. CMF2 is a celebration of all the different faces Tay- lor has worn, bringing them all together into one energetic album that shows him at his absolute best. Taylor comes to town with British electronic rock duo and nü metal revivalists WARGASM and the genre-bending alternative rocker Luna Aura. DF Pat Green 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27, THE RUSTIC, 3656 HOWELL ST. $27 AT PREKINDLE.COM On Wednesday, Dallas’ home for good eats and great music toasts to a decade of fun. To celebrate the occasion, The Rustic has booked Pat Green for the evening. Last summer, Green released his first album since 2015’s Home. Miles and Miles of You is marked by its maturity, but also its positivity. It’s as if Green knew that in a world where there is so much negativity, the last thing people wanted was another cynical viewpoint. The Rustic will have drink specials going all night, as well as activations and raffle giveaways from Rustic’s partners Es- polón and EIGHT Beer. As an added bonus, the venue has also recruited legendary Cowboys quar- terback Troy Aikman to be on deck to celebrate. Now that is certainly a celebration that should make anyone from Dallas happy.
