Beats and Eats with Kirk Thurmond (full band)


Granada Theater

The tastiest night out on the town returns this fall. From August through October, treat your ears, eyes and taste buds to a delicious night in Lower Greenville at the historic Granada Theater. A trio of hand-picked Dallas chefs will prepare four courses of exquisite dishes followed by an intimate performance from the evening’s special musical guest. Mouthwatering passed-appetizers will greet our guests as well as paired cocktails throughout the evening.

Granada Theater is in the business of spoiling our guests, and we’d like to invite you to experience this unique food-and-music pairing in partnership with Savor Dallas. Joining this installment will be Jon Alexis of TJs Seafood Market / Malibu Poke along with Kirk Thurmond.

Growing up in Dallas, Kirk was always surrounded by music. The 3-part harmony lessons from his father, coupled with the household soundtrack of soul giants, it seems he always knew what he would be doing with his life. “I can’t really remember a time when I wanted to be anything else. For a while there, it was the thing in my life that made the most sense.” Kirk gave an all or nothing push to start his career after stepping away from a percussion performance degree at age 19. Kirk used a series of coffee shops, bars, and college cafeterias to hone his writing into what it is now; his debut projects Born In The City and Only Love marked the beginning of his continuous pursuit for music that is real and timeless.
