Levitt Free Concert Series
Levitt Free Concert Series is the core recurring promise behind Levitt Pavilion Arlington: free music under the stars. The Levitt site and event calendar repeatedly frame the venue around free concerts, including Friday and Saturday evening shows in the current schedule.
Open Mic
Poop Deck Jam
Poop Deck Jam is a Sunday afternoon Fort Worth hang built around The Fender Benders and an open-hearted blues-and-rock jam culture. The jam runs every Sunday from 2:00 to 6:00 PM at Poop Deck Bar and Grill on Bluebonnet Circle, starting with a roughly 45-minute Fender Benders set before the afternoon opens up for players. It is welcoming to performers at different levels, but it is not just a beginner circle: strong local musicians regularly come through, which gives the room that loose, earned, sit-in energy people hope to find at a real neighborhood jam.
Artists
Ashmore
Fort Worth / DFW
Ashmore is a DFW classic rock cover band with public bar, restaurant, festival, and concert-series dates across the Fort Worth-area calendar.
The Fender Benders
Fort Worth / DFW
The Fender Benders are a Fort Worth blues and rock jam band with more than 20 years of live-show mileage behind them. Their sound stretches beyond one lane, mixing blues, rock, jazz, and soul with dynamic, high-energy performances built for rooms that want a band to read the crowd. That makes the group work both as a club/bar act and as a booking option for private parties, corporate events, festivals, restaurants, and celebrations.
Big Mike Richardson
Fort Worth / North Texas
Big Mike Richardson is a Fort Worth and North Texas musician with more than 20 years of solo and band work in the area. His calendar moves easily between solo shows, Big Mike & Friends nights, and Playtown blues-jam appearances around Magnolia Motor Lounge, The Crescent Hotel, Ridglea Country Club, Tolbert’s Restaurant, Bowie House, Oscar’s Pub, and TX Whiskey Ranch.

Incognito
Fort Worth / DFW
Incognito is a North Texas cover band with a long runway: the group has been rocking since 1989 and has built fans throughout the Metroplex. The draw is familiar, high-lift stage material, with a song list built from past and present hits, plenty of classic rock, and dance hits.
Milagro Texas
Fort Worth
Milagro Texas keeps the pitch clear: this is a Santana tribute band based in Fort Worth, Texas. The act presents itself as "A Texas Santana Tribute" and pairs that identity with a regional gig list, giving Fort Worth listeners a local entry point into a familiar tribute-band night.
