THURSDAY Only

February 19….Cactus Theater presents: Max Stalling - Texas based songwriter, Max Stalling, has a style that is modern with a vintage feel. With Tom Lewis on drums and percussion, Bryce Clarke on guitar, and Jason Steinsultz swapping between upright and electric bass, Stalling creates a dynamic live show that's smart, charming and as listenable as it is danceable. Stalling and troupe are equally at home on a huge concert stage in front of thousands or playing an acoustic set for a hundred. Despite playing the same circuit as many household names in Texas country, grouping Stalling with them would be premature. His unique voice and amusingly clever song lyrics pull him in a different direction. Don't miss this opportunity to see Max Stalling live on the Cactus stage!! Please contact the box office at 806-762-3233 to reserve your tickets. Reserved seating $15. Cactus Theater, 1812 Buddy Holly Avenue; 7:30 p.m.
