Outstanding performance by Maren Morris a young lady with an incredible voice, amazing stage  presence and an old soul   for maybe one good o'll' country tune or two. 
   Maren is not long for the likes of this one horse  town  : look out Nashville  here comes a fast ball right down the middle.  Other great acts included the Josh Weathers Band, River crest Yacht Club, JZ & Dirty Pool, Katsuk, Goodwin (Possibly the best pop band ever to come out of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.    Goodwin's  unforgettable tunes stick in your mind like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth.  With songs like "Matt's Letter" and "This Time" Goodwin has stood the test of time  with songs like" March" . Proving that they are one of DFW's pop rock leaders .  P.S. not all good things come in a Bendel not to be confused with a bushel.)
        Black Tie Dynasty, Pablo & the Hemphill Seven (They be from Texas man, and everything's gonna be alright !) Collin Herring, and Stella Rose just to name a few.  Once again the Fort Worth weekly has brought to us a fun filled day of great music  spread throughout the downtown Fort Worth area. This is a good example to dallas of the power of love and music bringing the city together.
    Thanks to all the bars that participated and once again, thanks to the Fort Worth Weekly for hosting this stellar event.  We look forward to next year.
