The City of Arlington is bringing back some melodic charm to its Friday evenings, as acoustic tunes are set to fill the air at Home Plate Restaurant, located inside the Texas Rangers Golf Club. If your idea of kicking back involves strumming guitars and sultry vocals, then you're in luck every Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m., now through September 12, as per the City of Arlington.
Organized by Arlington Parks & Recreation, this event, dubbed the 2025 Summer Music Series, is more than just a lyrical affair; it's a chance to indulge in food and drink specials that promise not to disappoint. Wine, whiskey, whatever your poison, they have specials to lighten the load on your wallet. While the thrill of live music doesn’t cost you a dime, RSVPs are, nonetheless, encouraged. Now, that’s what we call thoughtful planning.
If you're looking to reserve your spot, RSVPs can be made online at the Summer Music Series page, or if you’re old school, in person at the bar or by ringing up (817) 575-8299. This weekly affair is expected to draw regular crowds, so it’s wise to jump on that booking post-haste.
For those wondering about the musical lineup, it’s diverse, and it’s local. Michael Mangrum seduces the stage on August 8, followed by Emily Knutson on August 16 and Taylor Craig Mills on August 22. As we head into the latter part of the month, you’ll catch Arwyn Gunn on August 29, and Taylor Craig Mills will make his return on September 5, with Michael Mangrum closing out the series on September 12.
