JZAC x Dylan Owen w/ BEAMIN

Lost Lake Presents JZAC x Dylan Owen with BEAMIN on Thursday, July 16th.   Dylan Owen: Dylan Owen is a New York rap artist with his own brand of confessional, heartfelt storytelling. Out of the sleepy small towns of New York state he has become a beacon of light for tens of thousands of ardent listeners who come from towns such as these and beyond; who turn to his songs of introspection and wonder and struggle as a soundtrack to their lives and a navigation device. His vulnerable, poetic rap songwriting has generated press comparisons to Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith, and he has collaborated with rap peers Watsky, Sol, Abhi The Nomad, Blueprint, Ceschi, Abstract, Sam Lachow, Kinetics & One Love and opened a tour date for Mac Miller. Dylan possesses disarming technical prowess as an emcee and flows on production palettes from alternative rap to pop to folk—where neither DJ scratches nor a live violin or trumpet are out of place. Through breakout EPs There’s More To Life and Keep Your Friends Close and fan-facing efforts such as his self-published book and Coffee with Dylan series, he has fostered a deeply engrossed and active community that sell out his shows, tattoo his lyrics, buy merch from every drop (from which the proceeds benefit mental health causes), and compose thousands of heartfelt social media messages. What sustains Dylan is his ongoing quest to carve out meaning from his journey for himself and others, and to give it away so that it might empower his listeners, who prove to him time and time again that there is more to life.   JZAC: Originally hailing from southern New Hampshire, Jerry Zajac, known as JZAC, is a rapper with over a decade of experience in the music industry. He first started putting out music on YouTube in 2011, but it was around 2016 when he began to break through on the internet, posting short video clips of freestyles that would end up going viral and circulating on social media. Since that pivotal moment, he has meticulously built his catalog, accumulating  over 100 million streams on his music, releasing four studio albums, multiple EP’s, and countless singles over the years.     All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Cure for Paranoia w/ Lane-O

Lost Lake Presents Cure for Paranoia with Lane-O on Wednesday, March 11th.   Formed in the heart of Dallas but born on the highway, Cure for Paranoia came together during a “doomsday road trip” intended to be their last. Having recently been diagnosed with bipolar paranoid schizophrenia, frontman Cameron McCloud found clarity in a hot-boxed rental car; making music with collaborators Jay Analog and Tomahawk Jonez gave him peace of mind. “He said, ‘this is my cure for paranoia.’ Instantly, everyone’s eyes lit up,” a pivotal realization that cemented the group’s moniker. Following the advice of conspiracy theorist friends, the newly christened collective had packed up and headed toward the Four Corners, a location rumored to be the ideal shelter to wait out the apocalypse. When the predicted earth-shattering meteor failed to hit, inspiration struck instead. As Jonez recalls, “On the way from Amarillo to Colorado Springs, like eight songs got written.”   Returning to Dallas with a newfound purpose, the group bypassed the traditional route to stardom, cutting their teeth on the pavement of Deep Ellum. Their reputation was built through relentless busking and electric performances at local staples like COLAB and Drugstore Cowboy. These guerrilla-style sets allowed the band to hone a razor-sharp live performance style that KXT 91.7 FM’s Alec Spicer describes as “equal parts eccentric and electric,” noting that the group “has the perfect dose for Dallas.” Their commanding artistry quickly moved them from street corners to major stages, earning the ultimate co-sign from the Queen of Neo-Soul herself, Erykah Badu. After catching her ear, the group was tapped to perform at her legendary Birthday Bash, a milestone that signaled their arrival as heavyweights in the scene.   Since then, Cure for Paranoia has shared bills with icons ranging from George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and Nas to Ludacris and Leon Bridges. Their resume includes stops at SXSW, Fortress Festival, and the NPR Tiny Desk Contest “On The Road” Tour, solidifying their status as festival favorites. While keen to distance themselves from standard regional production, they cultivated a signature “Trippy Soul infused hip hop” sound—a blend prioritized on their anchor project, the Work of A.R.T. EP. This commitment to substance has resulted in sustained acclaim, including being named a three-time NPR Tiny Desk Contest finalist (2023–2025), a PrizeFest Grand Prize winner, and a fixture on The Texas Hip-Hop Top 60. With back-to-back Song of the Year wins (2024 & 2025) and a 2025 Rap Group of the Year title at the Dallas Entertainment Awards, Cure for Paranoia has proven that their survival of the apocalypse was just the beginning of their legacy.   All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Open Mike Eagle w/ Cavalier + Rhys Langston

KGNU Presents Open Mike Eagle with  Cavalier and Rhys Langston on Thursday, July 17 — Open Mike Eagle found comedy in contemporary American horrors on albums like 2014’s Dark Comedy and catharsis in exposing his past on 2020’s Anime, Trauma, and Divorce. Now, the incisive, hilarious, and idiosyncratic purveyor of art rap praised by The New York Times, Pitchfork, and The New Yorker manipulates time like Dr. Strange on his new album, Component System with the Auto Reverse. Eagle’s eighth solo LP, CSWTAR is grounded in our dystopian present but structured with the magical randomness of cassette mixtapes he made recording college rap radio shows in the late ’90s. It was an era of supreme braggadocio and countless lyrical styles, the lines between boasts offering insight into Black American neighborhoods. Eagle made CSWTAR in this spirit. Unstuck in time, he spits his sharpest stream-of-consciousness darts while watching his younger self bop to the music that informed them. No two songs traverse the same ground, but Eagle splices in actual commercials and radio interviews from his old mixtapes to connect the dots, his keen sociopolitical analysis and obscure pop culture allusions serving as temporal poles. In the same breath, he airs grievances about current police corruption and alludes to long-retired Chicago Bulls players. Every anachronism provides a new perspective on today. Keeping with the purposeful surprise and structure, CSWTAR is scored by crashing doom-filled hard rock flips from Madlib, Diamond D’s thumping jazz-inflected boom-bap, twisted cartoon-sampled suites via Quelle Chris, and more progressive production. Eagle turns these disparate sounds into a cohesive whole, equally at home rhyming on minimalist electronic soundscapes and parodying an animated stereo store proprietor over thundering drums and grinding guitar. A master of his vocal range, he effortlessly moves in and out of conversational and intricate technical delivery, inflecting with abandon and assurance before pivoting to half-sung hooks. There are more time-bending spells in Eagle’s grimoire, but he’s never shown listeners so many so effectively.
