With the weather gettin' more tolerable now, Truck Yard located in Grandscape Texas in The Colony, might just be that place you've been hankerin' for. LIVE music, EVERY day, rotating food trucks and sneaky good adult beverages to wash it all down with.

The Truck Yard is a backyard party complete with truck beds and picnic tables for seating, mouthwatering food and brews, rotating food trucks and live music every night. Menu highlights include their Philadelphia style cheesesteak, and Smashburger. For drinks, try their brews from Second Rodeo and Beard Science Sour House, or a Truck Yard Margarita.

And, while you're there, you may just wanna check out the Barney Smith Toilet Seat Art Museum. Yes, you read that right. More than a 1,000 toilet seats have been painted or constructed into an art piece and line the walls and a portion of the ceiling on the second floor.

Truck Yard: It's like your backyard, but with better beer and fewer responsibilities. Bring your dog, baby, mom, college pals, or meet new friends (Just don't bring your drunk uncle-nobody likes him!)

🎯 Just had to give a shout out those bad-ass boys from Garland, Loyal Sally about their latest single, "Stick Up", off their soon to be released EP, "Hashing Out Realities".
Although the video may not win a moon man anytime soon, their music is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD BITCHIN' and demands recognition! These bearded-purveyors of original, unadulterated, unapologetic indie-original pop has definitely taken a big step onto a larger stage with this latest release. DAYUM! 🐾

Grant Gillispie & The Morning Shakes bring a loud, unapologetic blend of Texas country, rock, and blues straight out of Dallas. Fronted by singer-songwriter Grant Gillispie Music, the band’s gritty vocals, driving guitars, and hard-hitting rhythm section create a sound built for rowdy honky-tonks, dusty dance halls, and late-night festival stages. By weaving blues-heavy Texas narratives into the fire of rock and the swagger of classic country, they’ve carved out a sound that feels both familiar and fiercely their own.

Known for high-energy shows, sweat-soaked sets, and a love for turning it up loud, The Morning Shakes are quickly carving their place in the Dallas music scene. Each performance is a shot of adrenaline, equal parts heartfelt and hellraising, delivering songs that resonate with both diehard country fans and rock ’n’ roll lifers.

With their fearless sound and relentless drive, they’re primed to carry their music beyond the city limits and onto bigger stages across Texas and beyond. Keep tuned to their social media outlets for future performances. 🎻
