S6 Ep 3 Jim Suhler

S6 Ep 10 Vee

This week on the Dallas Famous Podcast we sit down with Vee Artistry, a Dallas based artist whose work spans theatrical makeup, burlesque, drag, and film. Vee's creative journey started in dance and theater, and that performance background still shapes everything she makes today. Her style is bold and intricate, built around larger than life characters that need to read clearly even from the back row of a packed venue. She's known across the Dallas scene for her signature tattoo coverage looks, her over the top costuming, and her ability to turn a face into a full theatrical statement. In this episode we talk about embracing vulnerability as an artist, pushing creative boundaries in a city full of talent, and why showing up boldly matters even when it's uncomfortable. Vee opens up about what it takes to build a signature style, how dance and theater still inform her makeup work, and what keeps her pushing into new creative territory. If you love Dallas creatives who are doing something different, this one is for you.

DF Xtra's Tucker Art Project

Welcome back to Dallas Famous Extras. Tucker Art Projects is about to open its doors in Deep Ellum, and the very first exhibit in the space is Fermata, a solo concert photography show. I sat down with Scott and Melissa Tucker to talk about how the gallery came together, what drew them to Deep Ellum, and what they're building with Tucker Art Projects. Melissa shares a bit of her own background, and we get into the journey from musician to concert photographer, the stories behind the work, and what it means to open a new art space in Dallas right now.  Tucker Art Project [https://www.instagram.com/scott.tucker.projects/] Melissa Tucker [https://www.instagram.com/melissa.m.tucker/] Aztec Milk Temple [https://www.instagram.com/aztecmilktemple/] Salim Nourallah⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://salimnourallah.com/] - "Unstoppable" Theme Song (All Rights Reserved to Salim Nourallah) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Electrik Ants ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://linktr.ee/Electrikants?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaQGHESl7UmePuIx-VfRhcTqUXDdtdOawLQlqAljLi0FTTQ7bGFCn7jhpM_aem_MMplBYrbvj87v_bONdz-QQ] - "Place To Be" Outro Theme (All Rights Reserved to Electrik Ants) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andrew Sherman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://linktr.ee/drewliophoto?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYdIqfkZUbyjOscRiC_uWR-OLi7I8W49USAl2L99RSn4TaQqh0Dr-H9pDg_aem_HJiBKCudc2CWzkopx0pdUA] - Your Host The Dallas Famous Podcast is supported by the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mullen & Mullen Music Project⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.mullenandmullen.com/].

S6 Ep 8 Jeff Ryan

Jeff Ryan has done it all. Toured Europe, shared stages with Annie Clark (St. Vincent), recorded with Lowell Tolhurst and Budgie from Siouxsie & the Banshees, and built a career that stretches from small town Texas to Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. But Dallas has always been home base. In this episode of the Dallas Famous Podcast, Jeff sits down to trace the full arc: how a kid from outside the city found his way into one of Dallas's most respected music communities, what years of touring and high-profile sessions taught him about the craft, and how he's channeling all of it now through Motorcade, Myopic, event production at the State Fair of Texas, and a continued commitment to the local scene that shaped him. If you've ever wanted to understand how Dallas produces world-class talent that rarely gets the national credit it deserves, Jeff Ryan is exactly that story. 🎵 Pleasant Grove | Motorcade | Myopic | St. Vincent | Siouxsie & the Banshees | Sarah Jaffe | Midlake | State Fair of Texas | Deep Ellum | Dallas Music Scene 🎙️ Dallas Famous Podcast drops new episodes weekly on Deep Ellum Radio and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

S6 Ep 7 Amy Rosenthal

What do Willie Nelson, a legendary railroad history, and a newly designated Texas cultural district have in common? They're all part of the story of Garland, Texas — and this week, we're sitting down with the woman helping write its next chapter. Amy Rosenthal is the Cultural Arts Director for the City of Garland, and she's one of the most accomplished arts administrators in North Texas. Before Garland, she helped transform Historic Downtown McKinney into a state and nationally accredited cultural district, produced 150+ live acts, and drew over a million visitors annually to downtown events. Now she's bringing that same energy to Garland — overseeing the Bankhead Cultural Arts District designation, the two-year renovation of the Granville Arts Center, and a growing slate of programs that are redefining what this city means to DFW. We cover it all: Garland's roots in the railroad era, that wild Willie Nelson recording story, the Bankhead Highway's role in shaping the city's identity, what the Texas Commission on the Arts designation means for local artists and businesses, and what's coming next for one of the most underrated cities in the Metroplex. If you think you know Garland — think again. 🎙️ The Dallas Famous Podcast drops every week on @deepellumradio and all major platforms. 📍 Presented by The Dallas Famous Podcast 🔗 Subscribe for weekly deep dives into the people, places, and stories shaping Dallas.
