Texas Tunes concert with Sunny Sweeny

Come spend an evening with Sunny Sweeney as she takes to the Huffines Performance Hall stage for a Texas Tunes concert series show, Saturday, March 7, at Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles Street.

A patron saint of broken hearts on the mend, Sweeney comforts the rest of us by being honest with herself--and everybody else. She is her generation's sly country conscience, warm but stubborn, sad but funny, rowdy but thoughtful.

Her new album Rhinestone Requiem is a delectable testament to that love, brimming with achingly pretty melodies and grown-up storytelling. It's also an expertly assembled grab bag of the traditional song structures that have built country music, one three-quarter whirl at a time.

If anyone has the bona fides to be country music's loving, defiant standard-bearer, it's Sweeney. In addition to releasing five critically acclaimed albums since her 2006 debut Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, she has become a trusted song curator and advocate for other artists as the host of her SiriusXM shows The Sunny Side of Life on Outlaw Country and Sunny Side Up on Willie's Roadhouse.

Tickets are $35 and $25. Lewisville residents may buy select $20 tickets in person with proof of residency at The Grand during normal business hours. Sales tax and ticket fees are included in the price.
