Barley & Board, a brewpub on Denton’s historic town square, is hip. It occupies the third incarnation of a building that burned and was rebuilt, only to burn again. The original space housed a hotel and a livery stable where Sam Bass once worked. And while the current space retains...
In the middle of Pleasant Grove’s new album, The Heart Contortionist, a titular three-song suite details the beautiful highs and the dramatic lows of relationships.
