CITY MANAGER’S WEEKLY UPDATE Ticket Sales Announced for Ryan Beaver Concert at MCL Grand Tickets went on sale at noon Friday, Feb. 10 for a March 10 concert by up-and-coming Texas musician Ryan Beaver at Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, part of the popular Texas Tunes concert series presented by the City of Lewisville. The show will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Hall of the MCL Grand, 100 N. Charles Street, and will include a brief intermission. Tickets are $15 ($10 for seniors age 60 and older or children age 12 and younger) and can be purchased at MCLGrand.tix.com or at the Customer Service window at Lewisville City Hall, 151 W. Church Street, during regular business hours. Lewisville residents can purchase single-show tickets for $5 each, either in advance at City Hall or on the performance date at the MCL Grand box office. Current driver’s license or utility bill will be required to verify residency. Earlier this month, Beaver was announced as a nominee for “Emerging Artist of the Year” and “Songwriter of the Year” by the Lone Star Music Awards. The 27-year-old Austin-based musician released his first album, “Under the Neons,” in 2008 and since then has toured the Southwest, released three radio singles, and worked on 10 original songs for “Constant,” his recently released second album. “Our lives are always changing and evolving,” said Beaver in explaining the name of his new album, “but some things remain constant. My faith, family, friends, and passion for music never change and they make me who I am.” For more information on the artist, please visit www.RyanBeaver.com. The Texas Tunes series features performers from music halls and festivals throughout the state who present great music in a variety of genres, but all with that unique Texas flair that has made the state a hotbed for fans of live music. The series kicks off Feb. 25 with a performance by Terry Hendrix and Lloyd Maines. Other shows on the schedule are Milk Drive on April 28, and Betty Soo & her band on May 26.
