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 […]

You may not recall, but the great country-that’s-also-a-continent has had some big names in the industry […]

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 […]
