THE POST AT RIVER EAST
The Post at River East offers an open-air dining experience and well-curated live music. The Riverside restaurant, bar and music venue is strictly following social distancing guidelines, so reservations are highly recommended. Local Tex-Mex troubadours Squeezebox Bandits launched a Wednesday evening concert series (6-9 p.m.) that runs through June.
There are several great local acts performing throughout June, including Americana singer-songwriter Adam Hood on June 11, Folk-Americana songsmith Slaid Cleaves and songwriter Drew Kennedy June 26.
LOLA’S TRAILER PARK
Lola’s Trailer Park, the outdoor music venue adjacent to Lola’s Saloon, just announced its reopening plans. There will only be outdoor seating available with tables limited to groups of six. Bartenders will come to the tables so there’s no waiting in line. Indoor entry at nearby Lola’s Saloon is for bathroom use only. Hand sanitizers and hand-washing stations will be located throughout the venue.
Lola’s Trailer has three events scheduled so far. On June 14, locally-grown produce vendors, food trucks, face paintings and live music will help kick off Lola’s Local Farmers Market.
Strangefest 3 honors late local musician Dillon Strange. On June 14, the fundraising event will feature a hot dog eating contest and several bands. Just Encased Food Truck will have craft sausages available.
Lola’s Rock n Roll Rummage Sale returns June 28 with 50 vendors selling everything from art pieces and antiques to books and records. The family-friendly, pet-friendly (with leash) event will also have food trucks, beverages from the bar, live music and face-painting.
TUESDAYS AT WISHBONE & FLINT
Near Southside-based Wishbone & Flynt was recently voted “Best New Restaurant” by Fort Worth Magazine. The restaurant recently announced a Tuesday evening songwriter series.

LIVE AT THE DRIVE-IN MUSIC SERIES
The visionary team that created Fortress Festival is working to provide safe in-person concert experiences. Fortress Presents recently announced an ongoing collaboration with Coyote Drive-In called Live at the Drive-in.
Fortress Festival founder Alec Jhangiani said the outdoor movie theater offers the perfect setting for folks to choose how they want to experience the music. Listeners can enjoy the tunes from inside their car, or they can park a lawn chair to enjoy an open air concert experience.
The inaugural concert featured singer-songwriter Paul Cauthen, country music star Nikki Lane, local singer-songwriter Vincent Neil Emerson and indie-pop singer-songwriter Remy Reilly. Follow Fortress Presents on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming concert information.
