FREE PATIO SESSIONS RETURNS TO SAMMONS PARK THIS FALL

(DALLAS) – The AT&T Performing Arts Center announced today the Fall 2026 line up for Patio Sessions. These will be hosted in Sammons Park on the Center’s campus on Thursdays between October 8-November 12, 2026 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.

“Patio Sessions formula is simple: great local music, a beautiful outdoor campus, and no ticket required,” says Autumn Garrison, Assistant Vice President of Education and Community Engagement. “Come as you are right after work, bring some friends, and treat yourself to some excellent North Texas talent.”

Patio Session performances are as followed (subject to change due to weather):

• October 8, 2026 – Cut Throat Finches
  • Cut Throat Finches have never been a band content to stand still. Emerging from the indie rock underground with a raw, guitar-driven sound, the Fort Worth outfit built its early identity on restless energy and sharp-edged storytelling. But over time, something deeper began to surface—an unmistakable pull toward the sounds, stories, and spirit of home. On their fifth studio release, *High Horse*, that evolution comes fully into focus. The band leans hard into alt-country textures—twang-tinged guitars, open-road rhythms, and songs that breathe a little wider—without losing the grit and urgency that defined their earlier work. It’s not a reinvention so much as a revelation: the same band, now speaking in a voice that feels undeniably rooted in Texas soil.
• October 15, 2026 – Elias y su Orquesta
  • Elias y su Orquesta is a 10-piece international ensemble specializing in Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Bachata. Their electrifying performances include a tribute to Marc Anthony and Héctor Lavoe, as well as top Latin classic hits. Based in Texas, the group features professional musicians from Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, delivering authenticity, energy, and engaging entertainment to every show.
• October 22, 2026 – Brandon Blue
  • Brandon Blue is a Dallas-based DJ known for his high-energy, open-format sets and genre-blending sound. After seven years in New York City performing across top venues in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, he returned to Dallas in 2024 and quickly made his mark—earning Best DJ of 2025 (Dallas Observer) and Best R&B Night (Dallas Entertainment Awards). With residencies across the metroplex, Blue consistently packs out rooms with sets that span house, R&B, Latin, Afro, and dancehall. He’s partnered with brands like Crown Royal, Wingstop, BPM Supreme, and Burberry, and has performed for major organizations including the Dallas Mavericks and Cowboys—bringing an infectious energy to every crowd he touches.
• October 29, 2026 – Round Up Saloon
  • The Round-Up Saloon is considered “The Home of Good Times – Home of Good People”. The Round-Up Saloon and Dance Hall just celebrated 41 years in Dallas as the Nation’s Best gay country western dance hall.
• November 12, 2026 – Booker T. Washington Alumni & Friends
  • Wallace and Williams and Friends, Booker T. /Arts Magnet Alumni are celebrating 50 Years of Legacy in Motion. This special anniversary performance brings the Booker T. Washington HSPVA community to Sammons Park for an evening showcasing the talent that has defined the school for half a century. Principal Garry Williams and Director of Vocal Studies Andrea Wallace will take the stage alongside alumni and students for a celebration of Booker T.’s remarkable past, present, and future.
