OAK CLIFF — The Kessler Theater will host its first North Oak Cliff Music Festival on November 3, 2012. The neighborhood, home to the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, plus Erykah Badu and Edie Brickell, "has a rich musical heritage," said Edwin Cabaniss, owner of the Kessler Theater, in a statement.
Bands so far announced for the festival are Carolyn Wonderland, Alejandro Escovedo, and Joe Ely Band.
[UPDATE: Lucky Peterson, Bobby Patterson, Yells at Eels, and Nick Waterhouse have been added to the bill.]
Tickets are $12 in advance or $20 the day of, with VIP tickets also available. Kids 10 and under are free.
Proceeds will help the Winnetka Heights Neighborhood Association.
UPDATE x2: The festival is moving to Lake Cliff Park, located at 300 East Colorado Blvd. in Dallas.

“We thought that the festival would one day out grow the neighborhood, we just did not think it would be the first year,” said Cabaniss. “Lake Cliff Park has a great history of providing entertainment and amusement dating back for Dallas residents for over 100 years. We anticipate this location to be home to the North Oak Cliff Music Festival for many years to come.”
The outdoor stages will be set up on the lawn south of the lake, west of the baseball field, and east of the playground. The entrance is at the southeast corner of the park. Parking is free. Bring a lawn chair!

Too bad no one at the "Kessler" knows any of the myriad professional musicians that actually live in Oak Cliff. If I wanted to live in Uptown or Deep Ellum, I would have moved there. I don't know why y'all insist on bringing your plastic lives and world to my neighborhood. I'll wait a couple years and y'all will find a new fashionable neighborhood to destroy it's character.

Herbabeast, you could put the hours and money in to build a venue and then you can invite whoever you want. That would cut in to your music, maybe, but that is often the sacrifice venue builders make. It sure isn't because they get rich off it.
Are you supporting them in their other projects?
Have they met you? Or do they need to perform a house to house canvas so you can concentrate on your art?
