On Friday, February 22, hip-hop icon Brad Jordan, famously known as Scarface, performed memorable, classic songs from his extensive catalog at Antone’s Nightclub.

The Jefferson Theatre was privileged to host Lyle Lovett and His Acoustic Group on February 10. The theatre, located in Beaumont, Texas is designated a Texas Historical Landmark and it’s listed on The National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1927, the storied venue features an 8-Rack Morgan Organ. The Jefferson once hosted the premiere of classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” with star Jimmy Stewart and director Frank Capra in attendance. It was the perfect place to host an equally storied Texas musician.

Valentine’s Day can be a drag. If you’re in a relationship, you feel obligated to get your partner candy, cards, flowers, dinner, the whole ball of wax. If you’re not hanging out with anyone during the holiday then it can be a source of stress or at least mildly annoying. The Cosmic Clash along with Dad Presents and Covert Curiosity are taking care of all those details for you this year by booking and planning a great night of live music, performance art and vendors February 14 at Far Out Lounge and Stage.
