Singer and songwriter Troy Dillinger will be playing acoustic tonight at Bleacher's Sports Café, located at 1719 Buddy Holly Ave.
An 18-year veteran of the Austin music scene, Dillinger has been touring solo for the past month. He started in El Paso and continued throughout the West to Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and Phoenix.
"Lubbock is the last stop on my tour," said Dillinger, who has not played in Lubbock in more than a year.
"If I could use only one word (to describe the tour) it would be magic. It has been amazing," he said.
Dillinger's music contains all the elements that influenced him to sing: the honesty of punk, country twang, singer/songwriter integrity, pop sensibilities, the grit of blues and the rock 'n' roll approach to performing.
"I'm comfortable with my music being called old school rock 'n' roll," he said. "I've been compared to Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones - I guess that's not bad company."
