Straylight Run w/ Kevin Divine – Walter’s On Washington – Houston, TX

Written by James Dillon Nov 26, 2006 at 08:00 PM Walter’s on Washington has long been one of my favorite places in town to see a show. Laid back and intimate, it was a great place to the Sunday evening’s bands. The doors opened a little bit later than expected, which is normal for the…
