The founders, who were part of the renowned Kenny and the Kasuals band, have been deeply involved in the Dallas music scene since as far back as 1965. Over the years, they immersed themselves in the local music scene, frequenting various bars and clubs across the DFW area to capture mesmerizing performances by talented bands. However, as time passed, the initial fervor for these local venues and musicians seemed to fade. This prompted a shift in focus towards creating compelling documentary content that sheds light on the rich history of Dallas.
One of their most notable documentary series, "The Ghosts of Dallas," explores the intricate details surrounding the tragic events of the JFK assassination, garnering widespread acclaim for its insightful storytelling and historical significance. While the platform will continue to showcase the fascinating music histories of Texas, the emphasis will now primarily be on expanding their documentary projects. Although live music performances will still be available for viewing, there are no plans to introduce new performances at this time. The commitment to preserving and sharing the captivating stories of Dallas through documentaries remains steadfast, ensuring that the legacy and essence of the city's cultural tapestry are vividly captured for generations to come.

Velvet Shore is a late-night, slow-burning instrumental that blurs the lines between moody alternative rock and deep blues. Clocking in at a patient 70 BPM, the track features a soulful, crying guitar melody that drifts over a rich, swelling Hammond organ. Driven by a laid-back, heavy drum groove, it captures the exact feeling of standing on a coastline in the dark—warm, vast, and beautifully melancholic.

There is a restless, magnetic pull to the city of Memphis that has always held sway over me. My history there is written in chapters—first bound to the steady rhythm of a corporate day job, and later reborn in the wake of tragedy, when I returned to play the Ponderosa Stomp after Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans underwater. This song is a walk through those heavy, historic streets. From the neon hum of Beale Street and the hallowed grounds of Sun Records and Graceland, to the somber, storytelling walls of the Lorraine Motel, every corner holds a ghost. Marked by the rattle of the streetcar and the smoky scent of Memphis BBQ, it’s a tribute to a city that keeps time by the steady pulse of the mighty Mississippi River flowing down to the sea.

Garage Beat captures the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of being a teenager in the 1960s, watching your local band explode into popularity, and carrying that indelible rush with you for the rest of your life. It’s a tribute to youth, music, and those fleeting moments when the universe aligns. The song draws direct inspiration from Texas garage-rock legends Kenny and the Kasuals, who captured the nation's attention in 1966 with their pioneering fuzz-drenched sound. After scoring a major national distribution deal with United Artists Records, their meteoric rise suddenly faded when the draft called up band members and the major label grew hesitant to push a wild, psychedelic track across a conservative America. Garage Beat is an anthem for anyone who caught a glimpse of the magic—even if only for a moment.
