“When you are happy you enjoy the music, but when you are sad you understand the lyrics."

Frank Ocean

There's something about seeing a great show that makes entertainment events really memorable. So many live music and arts events were cancelled or postponed during the pandemic that now it seems people are clamoring for them.

This issue features two musicians — William Clark Green and Brian Kelly — whose live performances we recommend. The Terrell Jubilee also features entertaining acts worthy of attending — from music and dancing to a live rodeo performance by a monkey on a sheepdog.

Find more live music in County Line Magazine's bimonthly eEdition and visit our eMagazine and calendar for updates on the latest events in music and the arts in the region. — Lisa Tang
