August at the Red Dragon

In its modest digs on Florida Boulevard, the Red Dragon Listening Room pulls in artists who are anything but in terms of their abilities. Well-known and emerging songwriters take the stage here several times each month, and with the venue's non-profit status, all money raised at the door goes directly to the artists. Join the eager audience for one, or all, of these concerts:

• August 4: Joe Ely; Bob Livingston opens. $50.
• August 10: Jason Bieler; Alex Cook opens. $20.
• August 17: James McMurtry, at the Manship Theatre; Eric DiSanto & Kristin Courville open. $39–$59.
• August 24: Kevin & Dustin Welch; Keith Pavlovich and Chris Fry open. $30.
• August 31: Jon Dee Graham; Ben de la Cour opens. $30.

Shows usually start at 8 pm. (225) 939-7783 or cmaxwell@premier.net. reddragonlr.com.
