Classical music is a strange genre. Whenever you go to a normal concert, you do it to watch a performance. You want your favorite artist to thrive on that stage playing your favorite songs. You want the communal euphoria of being with other fans as you sweat and scream in ecstasy. Classical music is not […]
The house was packed from the onset. Filled to the brim, the energy in House of Blues was chill but excited as the first of three acts took the stage. Hailing from Detroit, MI, Boldy James captivated the crowd in a way seldom seen from an opening act. Rapping through a full 45 minute set, […]

Ah, Australia. The Land Down Under. That place you think of when discussing varieties of deadly animals. Not necessarily, however, among the first countries that comes to mind when you think of rock music. But perhaps it should be. You may not recall, but the great country-that’s-also-a-continent has had some big names in the industry […]

It seems that everyone has a record player these days. I think I personally know more people with record players than Nintendo Switches at this point, though I’m not sure if that says more about the state of the music industry or the people I choose to spend time with. In any case, records have […]

This music-filled Saturday kicked off with an impressive performance from local Houston guitarist and singer-songwriter Jacob Hutto at the House of J in East Downtown. Hutto was almost a last-second addition to the Astralace and Oh, Hooray lineup presented on the ticket. Still, Jacob Hutto was an impressive musician. I was particularly impressed with Hutto’s […]
On October 14, singer-songwriter SZA announced a set of shows that will happen throughout November. She described the shows as “not being a tour,” but rather “intimate performances” she would play in a few cities.

Her distinctive soft vocals paired with delicate, melodic instrumentals make for a really unique listening experience. “Coffee”, released in 2017, was actually Beabadoobee’s first […]

Los reyes de la bachata flaunt their throne for a Houston crowd on Sunday night. That’s right, the boys are back for round 2. Are you ready? The evening began early for many. Although all seating was assigned, many arrived before doors opened. A good 90% arrived dressed to the nines, especially the […]
So how was your summer? Olivia O’Brien is ready to tell you all about hers on March 4th at Warehouse Live. The 20-year-old California starlette has a lot to say, and urgently. Rather than waiting to flesh out a whole album, she released It Was a Sad Fucking Summer in November of 2019. Eager […]
“Woah!” “Oh man-” “OW” “Yeah,” a small latina in a black and white striped tee turns to her friend, still blinking after the sudden flash. “The band is really excited about their lights this tour.” Grayscale had truly outdone themselves in terms of production, the towering stage lights out of […]
