Live Music for the New Fort Worth

In the heart of Fort Worth’s vibrant cultural corner, Tulips FTW brings music, art, fine drinks, cold beers, great food and community together under one roof. Coming to life during the 2020 pandemic, the energy that courses through its veins is palpable – a fusion of local art, a sound system built for massive outdoor music festivals, a room tuned with the precision of decades of industry expertise and a fierce commitment to inclusivity. Beyond Marathon Live bringing an eclectic range of national and international talent to the stage, where Shakey Graves sat in for an intimate set with David Ramirez and Tank and the Bangas, Cannons, Sierra Ferrell and so many others have played sellout crowds of nearly 500, Tulips FTW a breeding ground for emerging talent, often featuring indie rockers, electronic artists, hip hop and K-pop headliners, punk and metal festivals, and everything else across the gamut of music genres as expansive as the Texas Sunset. We call it sanctuary for the secular, a true oasis for the misfits and outcasts of the music world as much as it was built for the cowboy-booted and white-collar warriors of the artistic class. As you step in, you’re surrounded by a litany of local artwork from the 80-foot mural designed by Eusebio Martinez through to Ariel Davis’ ceiling-reaching interpretation of the owner’s Grandfather boxing in the 1950s Golden Gloves, Mariell Guzman’s inspiring patio work and Jana Renee’s welcoming alleyway entrance to Gustos, the best burger in Fort Worth. This cacophony of colors sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. The revolving door of local artwork, curated by Art Tooth, gives local makers a space to showcase the artistic underbelly of Fort Worth’s creative contingent. On November 20, 2020 we planted our flag in Fort Worth’s rich musical history that spans from Ornette Coleman and Bob Wills to the Historic Bluebird, JJs Blues Bar and Caravan of Dreams to Townes Van Zandt and Leon Bridges. Through the masked trials of that year, we boasted our first sellout that New Years with 54 people toasting champagne to Grady Spencer on stage. Fast forward to a full capacity in front of our premier sound system, powered by Blake Barker, Tulips FTW finds itself on tour posters of bands from across Europe, Australia, Mali, Mexico, England and across our own great state and country to join the conversation led by iconic rooms like the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C., Brooklyn Made in NYC and Tractor Tavern in Seattle. While music leads the charge, it is our fierce commitment to being the bridge between the Fort Worth Way and where we are driving our hometown, that invites every walk of life in through our doorstep, showcasing talent as much the diverse face of Fort Worth, whatever the medium, with a strict policy of zero tolerance for harassment of any kind, creating a safe and welcoming space for all art fans. It’s where art and music collide in a frenzy of unbridled passion, where locals and tourists alike can let their hair down and revel in the magic of live performance. It’s where community is built. Welcome Home, y’all.

Early in the 1970’s I became interested in pottery and its historical significance, focusing on Pueblo pottery of the American Southwest. Beginning with hand-building techniques and soon moving primarily to wheel-thrown and sculpted pieces for both functional and decorative use. My work then—as now—centers on everyday ware that meets practical needs, along with occasional whimsical or myth-inspired pieces that spark the imagination. The “Mugley” line of pottery came to life in mid 1970’s and was produced through the 1990’s. Most of the pottery produced during that time period found its way to new homes through our shops (Mugley Emporium) at Renaissance Festivals in Texas, various Shows as well as some limited wholesale markets and our gift and gallery The Mugley Emporium. Although the interest in pottery did not cease, it was basically sidelined in the year 2000 due to commitments in the corporate arena. In July of 2025, I put aside my corporate hat, pulled out of storage my pottery equipment, materials and supplies, purchased some additional needed items and began Mugley Pottery production once again.

I’ve been practicing pointed pen calligraphy for over 10 years after first picking up a calligraphy pen when Hobby Lobby opened in my hometown. I was immediately drawn to the artistry of handwritten script and fascinated by historical documents like the Declaration of Independence and the quills used to write them. What started as curiosity quickly became a creative outlet and passion. About six years ago, I began exploring line drawings as a way to try something new and instantly fell in love with the simplicity and emotion they could capture. I especially enjoy creating pet portraits and human illustrations, focusing on expressive line work that highlights personality, movement, and connection. I love the feeling of stepping into a creative space where time seems to stop, and creating has become something deeply personal and meaningful to me. I feel closest to my Creator, God, when I am creating, because I truly believe He created me to create. Through my work, I hope to make art that feels personal, timeless, and full of heart.
