FREE All-Day CMJ Showcase at Urban Outfitters

As you’ve probably noticed already, the city has been officially taken over by CMJ. Similar to SXSW Festival, except without all the cowboy boots and barbeque (unless you count Dallas BBQ). With hundreds of shows taking place at venues scattered across the city, it can be an overwhelming task just
