With the iconic Tupperware brand in bankruptcy, Dixie is also calling it quits. Dixie’s Tupperware Party is returning to Bass Performance Hall’s McDavid Studio (301 E 5th St, Fort Worth, 817-212-4280) for its final season. Dixie Longate is the fast-talking, gum-chewing, ginger-haired Alabama gal who brought your grandma’s Tupperware party into the 21st century. Along with demonstrating the many alternative uses for the iconic plastic kitchen staple, she tells outrageously funny (but adult-oriented) tales and enlists audience members to participate. Performance times include 7:30pm Wed-Fri, 3pm and 7:30pm Sat, and 3pm Sun. Tickets start at $55 at BassHall.com.

Me-Thinks frontman Ray Liberio let us know they’re playing their annual birthday bash at Growl at Division Brewing Pizza Kitchen (513 E Abram St, Arlington, 682-259-7011) with The Dangits and Knock ’Em Back. It’s also a record release show of a split of the Me-Thinks and Dangits covering each other’s songs. (!) Ray says Division’s food is fantastic. “Hell, we’d play for free pizza!”

I’m from Dallas. My apologies. I got here as soon as I could. Inexplicably, I was turned on to former Dallasite and musical genius St. Vincent only a few years back, long after she’d left North Texas. I could kick myself that I never went to a local show. I’ve never even seen her on tour. She’s playing at The Bomb Factory (which recently took back its historic original name) in Deep Ellum (2713 Canton St, Dallas, 214-749-5757) at 8pm with special guest Glass Beams, so I’ll rectify the situation then. My husband bought me tickets for Christmas, so I’m good (thanks for asking), but for those on the hunt, you can still get them starting at $54.50 on AXS.com.
Ahead of Sunday’s show, Meow Wolf Grapevine (3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy, Ste 253, Grapevine, 866-636-9969) is teaming up with the Grammy winner and North Texas for a St. Vincent-themed Adulti-Verse (21+ event) on Thursday evening. Though St. Vincent won’t be on-site, her artistic influence will be everywhere you look (and listen), complete with a special curated playlist, music video dance party, surprises for guests, themed cocktails, and more. It’s an immersive tribute and celebration to one of North Texas’ boldest artists. Tickets are $40 at Tickets.MeowWolf.com.
