William Beckmann, Harper O'Neill

William Beckmann croons like a man out of time, showcased with his classic country-tuned 2022 breakout Faded Memories. But last year’s Here’s to You. Here’s to Me. proved the South Texan’s suave vocals just as versatile as they are arresting, unloading across more contemporary production without relinquishing his roots. Beckmann’s annual Las Posadas tour mixes it all into a holiday cocktail, an intimate evening of Spanish ballads, Christmas tunes, and originals that celebrate his border upbringing and rising Nashville status. Dallas native Harper O’Neill provides set up behind her soulful, dusky debut Dark Bar Daisy. – Doug Freeman
