This is the first Friday in June on the 3rd in Magnolia Park(1100 block of Lipscolm between Rosedale and Magnolia Fort Worth, TX) and as always these shows are very fun and packed with people. There are food vendors out selling their grub from local restaurants and plenty of beer to keep you content all evening. Its a very family oriented time so bring the kids, pets, blankets and lawn chairs and set up shop with us on a nice summer night. The lineup for June 3rd will be Sean Russell at 7pm, The Cush at 8pm and Calhoun at 9pm to bring the night to a close. Do not miss this show, it will be stellar and guess what? IT’S TOTALLY FREE!!!!
