Independent music venues in Dallas are facing some of their toughest times yet. Places like Deep Ellum Art Co. are still bouncing back from pandemic closures, with fewer people buying tickets and many venues struggling just to break even. But there’s hope: the JAMBALOO festival is stepping up, covering costs so venues can host free shows and bring crowds back. Last year, this effort boosted local sales by nearly 150% and kept at least one venue from shutting down. How do you think we can keep our local music scene thriving? #Entertainment #Music #DallasMusic
