The Pixies – Bayou Music Center – Houston, TX

Written by Robert B. Johnson (@RobertSatellite on Twitter) Still Going Strong These days, it’s rare to catch a popular act from yesteryear. Many bands have broken up, gotten old, or simply moved on from music. Thankfully, a handful of groups still put out fresh tunes and tour to this day, giving the current generation of…


Chris Knight – House of Blues – Houston, TX

Written by Samuel Barker I must admit that I am a little late to finding Chris Knight. For nearly 2 decades, Knight has been release great albums that have received attention from critics, fellow musicians who cover the songs and, most importantly, music fans everywhere. For the past 2 years, since I heard his latest…


Eagles – Toyota Center – Houston, TX

Written by Dave Clements How many bands get to a point in their career where they can go out on tour and NAME that tour the history of their band? Only one I know of – The Eagles, none better! And I had the pleasure of being part of the sold out crowd at The…


Pat Metheny – House of Blues – Houston, TX

Written by Michael Pittman The new album is called Kin and comprised the bulk of the 2nd half of the show.

The Hollisters – Continental Club – Houston, TX

Gordon Lightfoot – Cullen Performance Hall – Houston, TX

Written by Dave Clements Houston’s weather had turned nice for what seems like the first time in months.  I had my beautiful wife by my side, two tickets, and a photo pass for the Gordon Lightfoot concert at Cullen Performance Hall on the U. of H. campus. What a very nice way to spend Valentine’s Day!…


Rankin Twins – Barnes House Concerts – Houston, TX

Written by Eddie Ferranti House concerts have been part of our life for going on 7 years or so now. It is cool for Rose and I to have the occasion when an artist is doing their first experience at the house concert deal. This night one of the better ones in Houston area, Barnes…


The Grahams – Riverman’s Daughter

Written by Samuel Barker Feb 08, 2014 at 08:00 AM For years, I held a pretty strong prejudice against the “married couple” bands. Normally, they were gimmicky groups filled with bad duets advertising the fact that they were a married couple. However, in recent years, those feelings have faded as more musicians have gravitated towards…
