Concert by Dallas singer-songwriter Dezi 5 and his band The Tailgaters at the State Fair of Texas.
Dezi 5 plays the State Fair of Texas on Friday, October 16, at 7:30 PM. He'll be backed by The Tailgaters, and the show is his debut at the fair. It's a Dallas-based act playing a Dallas stage, so there's a local connection to the whole thing.
Dezi 5 is a singer-songwriter who calls his sound 'Texas Soul'—a blend of soul, rock, blues, country, and Americana. He's known for a rich baritone voice, a powerful stage presence, and a gift for storytelling that draws on everyday life for inspiration. His live shows are high-energy, and the State Fair date marks the band's first time playing the fair. He's currently recording his sophomore album, The Fifth Most Wanted, so there's new material in the works.
If you're not familiar with the name, the 'Texas Soul' description gives you a good starting point: it's music that sits across a few different traditions rather than sticking to one. The baritone voice and the storytelling are the things he's most recognized for, and the high-energy live set is how he usually delivers them. The Tailgaters will be the band behind him for the night.
