Deep Ellum is, first and foremost, and entertainment district. The majority of the business in the neighborhood are centered around events regarding shopping, dining, and most importantly, music. When I hear the words “Deep Ellum”, music venues are the first businesses to come to mind. Trees. Three Links. Dada. Adair’s. The Free Man. These are […]
Blogging, at its best, is a privilege. The opportunity to share music and news in our local community (and beyond) brings me more joy than you may realize. At its worst, however, it can feel like an added duty. A large amount of work goes into the Monday Mixteen segments, as well as a Ten […]
For those who missed it, last night’s Top 20+20 Countdown of 2020 was quite the celebration, and that was especially true for those who were a part of the broadcast. The Ghost is so grateful for everyone’s participation in the event, as well as the donations received to help Deep Ellum Radio with its operating […]

The Ghost has always maintained a soft spot in his heart for awards shows. While I have enjoyed major televised events like The Grammys and The Academy Awards, the Dallas Observer Music Awards have always held a truly special place in my musical heart of hearts. Perhaps it’s the fact that it celebrates talent that […]
The following is The Ghost’s press release for The 2nd Annual Ghosty Awards. In an unusually rare move, The Ghost is mentioning his personal identity on the site. The Ghost is, however, omitting the more personal details from the press release like the phone number. It is, however, given in the actual press release that […]
Dallas, I have something to confess. I’m going through a crisis of faith regarding you as of late. While these feelings have been present for a long while, hearing the news regarding Jeff Gage has brought it to a point where I can no longer stay silent on the issue. This comes after the Dallas […]
For the past nine years, The Ghost has been working hard to help promote the great music both in the DFW area and throughout this state. This is a project I have taken on single-handedly. While it has always been a challenge, I have mostly been able to do the work/blog juggle. Lately, however, I […]
