Basin PBS Announces 2026 Main Street Live Featuring Country Icon Travis Tritt
Basin PBS Studio 203 N Main, Midland, TX, United StatesBasin PBS is proud to announce the return of Main Street Live, presented by the Anwar Family, West Texas’ signature outdoor concert experience celebrating Basin PBS’ 40th anniversary year, headlined this year by country music legend Travis Tritt on Thursday, May 28. The annual event transforms downtown into a high-energy street festival celebrating live music, community, and shared experiences—all under the West Texas sky. With a career spanning more than 35 years, Travis Tritt remains one of country music’s most enduring performers. A member of the influential “Class of ’89,” Tritt rose to prominence during country music’s early ’90s boom with his debut album Country Club and hits including “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive,” “Here’s a Quarter,” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” His Southern rock–influenced sound, rooted in blues and gospel, helped set him apart, earning multiple platinum albums, more than 30 million records sold, two Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards, and membership in the Grand Ole Opry. His appearance at Main Street Live promises a high-energy performance filled with iconic hits and the unmistakable sound that has resonated with fans for generations.

Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West: Exhibition Closes
Ellen Noël Art Museum 4909 E. University, Odessa, TX, United StatesMuseumThe first hero was nature herself; sweeping landscapes awed early audiences and are still prominent in modern pieces. Then, the people took their turn. Though early depictions of cowboys and Native Americans were often flawed in interpretation and depiction, it is the heroic moments of perseverance within a harsh landscape that made them worthy of immortalization through art. Finally, wildlife stole the focus. The simple yet powerful balance animals create in nature harmonized the disruptiveness of people and the emptiness of a landscape. Each of these subjects has created visual lessons on what the West is, was, and how it has changed today. Admission to the Museum and it’s exhibitions is always free. Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West is on view April 2 through May 31.
