This week Benchmark is heading to Texas for the Dallas Small Business Expo. We’re excited and not just to eat some BBQ. No, we know everything is bigger in Texas and we’re coming to make sure that’s true of your success as well. Come chat email marketing and event management with us and we’ll be sure to help you get some Texas sized ROI. Since we’ve got nothing but Dallas on the mind, I figured I’d dedicate this week’s playlist to it. So, here’s some very famous artists that call Dallas home. I hope my fellow Hoosier alum Mark Cuban will approve!

  • “Light & Day” – The Polyphonic Spree
  • “Sundress” – Ben Kweller
  • “Not Ready To Make Nice” – Dixie Chicks
  • “Little Wing” – Steve Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
  • “Psycobilly Freakout” – The Reverend Horton Heat
  • “Give Your Heart a Break” – Demi Lovato
  • “Birth in Reverse” – St. Vincent
  • “On & On” – Erykah Badu

Author Bio:

by Andy Shore

Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.
