Playtown Thursday Jam at Magnolia Motor Lounge

Jam
Magnolia Motor Lounge Thursday · 8:00 PM

Thursday nights at Magnolia Motor Lounge, Playtown turns a regular weeknight slot into a musician-led Fort Worth hang. The night generally runs from 8:00 to 11:30 PM, with Playtown opening as the house band and often bringing in a special guest before the room loosens into a jam. It is not a free-for-all open mic; the sit-ins usually come by invitation, which keeps the night focused while still leaving room for players in the crowd to get called up.

Hankins

Fort Worth / DFW

Kendi Jean

Fort Worth / DFW

Kendi Jean brings a Fort Worth Americana voice to a Texas singer-songwriter lane she calls Fonky Tonk. Her music is described around country, folk, and Americana, with rich vocals and introspective songwriting at the center. That gives the project a local profile that feels both rootsy and personal: country enough for a Texas stage, folk-aware enough to lean into story, and anchored in Fort Worth rather than a generic regional tag.
