Arlington: Silverada at Showdown Saloon
Silverada brings its Texas dancehall sound to Arlington on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, with an 8 PM show at Showdown Saloon on South Cooper Street. Tickets currently start at $177 on StubHub, and with only a handful of listings available for this small room, Silverada in Arlington is shaping up to be one of the tightest tickets of the band’s fall run.
Frontman Mike Harmeier started the band in Austin in 2007 under the name Mike and the Moonpies, and the group earned its reputation the hard way — long nights in Central Texas honky-tonks, followed by years of national touring. Their 2019 album “Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold” was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with the London Symphony Orchestra, a rare feat for a Texas bar band.
Showdown Saloon is a neighborhood bar just south of the University of Texas at Arlington, with a heavy wooden bar, pool tables, and shuffleboard — the kind of no-frills room where this band cut its teeth. Catching Silverada in Arlington at a venue this size, a few miles from the stadiums of the Entertainment District, is a very different experience from their bigger Metroplex shows at places like Billy Bob’s Texas.

The band rebranded as Silverada in January 2024 and released a self-titled album that June, keeping the storytelling, pedal steel, and piano that made their name while pushing into harder-edged rock. Their Texas swing also includes John T. Floore’s Country Store in Helotes and Stable Hall in San Antonio — see every date on our Silverada Texas tour page.
