Dallas has appeared at major events including the Vancouver 2010 and London 2012 Olympics, Calgary Stampede, and Frankfurter Buchmesse.

His documentary Hoop Life (2018) shares his story and the art of hoop dancing.
King of Foxes
- 1:45 p.m.
- Genre: Rock
When you turn on a King of Foxes tune, it's a safe bet that the skies will open, alien aircraft will appear, the ark of the covenant will descend before ye, and all of your childhood pets will arise from the dead. Also, you'll hear an indie alternative artist whose undeniably catchy tunes earned her a Rock Artist of the Year nomination at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and a spot among the Edmonton Music Prize Top 3 in 2023. Twilight of the Empire (2022)—recorded in a basement with beige shag carpet on the walls and a Wurlitzer in the closet—found its way onto some prestigious “best of” lists, including as #11 on CKUA’s Top 100 Albums of 2022, and among NPR radio’s George Graham’s Best of the Year list. With a new album coming out in 2025, produced by Zach Zanardo (MONOWHALES), you don't want to miss this artist critics are hailing as “the real deal.”
