Looking for music? Here's a rundown of the rock, pop, country, Christian, Tejano and other acts performing through next Thursday.

 

Pullman Standard

You've probably laughed at it, but did you actually listen to the music performed by Corey Feldman in his now-infamous appearance on Today last month?

If you did, you heard a contribution from Los Angeles-based rock band Pullman Standard's frontman, Timmy Daniels, who said he ghost-wrote the song's beat.

Yes, he's willing to take credit for it.

"That's something that's now working in my favor," Daniels said. "As soon as I get back to LA ... it already has brought some work my way, some popular artists who are on the horn that I'm going to be working with."

The band  will return to Amarillo for a 9 p.m. Sunday show at The 806, 2812 S.W. Sixth Ave.; the show is free, but donations are accepted.

Daniels is working on a new album set to release in February, a full-length with "a lot of the new stuff that has been boiling over for the last couple of years," he said.

"Some record labels have expressed interest, and I have a few contracts on the table that are being reviewed by lawyers, so you can see a lot of changes really quickly," he said.
