Rock Band Power Take Off to Perform at Fat Jack's March 1
2026-03-01 20:00 - 23:30 | Fat jacks, 3324 N State Line Ave, Texarkana, AR, 71854, United States
Rock pop/punk band Power Take Off will perform at Fat Jack’s in Texarkana on March 1 as part of their 2026 U.S. tour spanning 12 states.
The multi-generational group, formed by father-son duo Scott and Ayden Theis in 2019, has charted four consecutive singles on the SMR Mainstream/Active Rock Top 50. Their latest single “Revolution” peaked at No. 23 in September 2025.
The band recently released their newest single “Dixie Cup” with an accompanying music video filmed in a bowling alley setting.
“‘Dixie Cup’ is a celebration of young love—and the complicated, funny, tender place known as ‘the friend zone,'” lead singer Scott Theis said. “It’s an honest message to the listener that says: I’m here for you in whatever way you need.”
The band includes 18-year-old drummer Ayden Theis, who began playing drums at age two, guitarist Ethan “Hank” Schluter, Mike “Cowboy” Delp, and bassist Jakob “JR” Ripp.
Power Take Off recorded “Revolution” in Nashville with multi-platinum producer Malcolm Springer at Stoner Creek Studios. The band has since worked with producer Chuck Alkazian in Detroit on new material.
The Texarkana show is part of a tour that includes stops in Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, and several other states through April. The band is backed by Stryker Records with international distribution through Anrgirl/Beatchain/Fuga.
