COMMERCE — One of the defining events at the Bois d’Arc Bash is the live music that fills the square Friday evening and all day Saturday. This year, the Bash will feature two stages: the main stage, also known as the Ben E. Keith Stage, and the 88.9 KETR Stage.

Friday, the Texas A&M University-Commerce steel band Panimation will perform from 5 to 6 p.m. According to the A&M-Commerce website, the band is comprised of eleven sets of pans, a drumset, hand drums and various accessory instruments.

“Many social organizations, high schools, junior high schools and elementary programs in the northeast Texas and Dallas/Ft. Worth areas bring Panimation to perform for their students.”

The Birthright Blues Project will begin playing on the main stage at 6:30 p.m. The band plays all original music and is named for the community north of Sulphur Springs where they began playing the blues. BBP is made up of Jack Holdsworth of Sulphur Springs on lead guitar and vocals, his wife Elan on bass guitar and Mark Chapman on drums. BBP has played a variety of local shows and their live album can be heard on KETR’s radio show Notably Texan.

From noon to approximately 6 p.m., local artists will play short acoustic sets near the 88.9 KETR booth, according to Notably Texan host and KETR Production Director Matt Meinke. While the list of artists is not available yet, Meinke did mention that Randy Wallace and Clyde the singing dog will perform one of the sets.
