We’ve parsed through the lineups and cut through the noise to bring you a monthly roundup of the best live shows in Fort Worth.
JANUARY 11
Benefit Concert for Kate Hearne at Lola’s Saloon
Local singer-songwriter Kate Hearne has performed across the United States and Europe. More importantly, she touched the lives of many local fans and musicians. Last month, Hearne was struck with a still-undiagnosed affliction that left her on life support for 10 days. While she slowly recovers, her supporters have organized a benefit concert to raise funds for her medical bills. Local music scene stalwarts James Hinkle, Katie Robertson, Keegan McInroe, Carey Wolff and several other solo and group acts are performing what will surely be a memorable show.
You can purchase tickets here.

You can catch the legendary Texas troubadour January 12 at Billy Bob’s Texas.
