Ways to Wrap Up Summer in Houston

Thanks to Alisha for these suggestions on fun, ways to wrap up your summer in Houston with kids.

  • HickoryHollow restaurant not only has food for purchase but live music on various nights. Check out this Heights eatery. Here are the upcoming August music offerings.
    • Wednesday, August 8th, Jam Session/Open Mic. Bring your instrument or voice and join in with our house Bluegrass duo. 
    • Friday, August 11th,Lonestar Bluegrass Band, "These guys are simply the best in Bluegrass." 
    • Saturday, August 12th, Cypress Creek Bluegrass, " One great time." 
    • Wednesday, August 15th, Jam Session/Open Mic. Bring your instrument or voice and join in with our house Bluegrass duo. 
    • Friday, August 17th, Kimberly M'Carver, "… Local music Goddess." Kim is a true music artist with loads of original material. 
    • Saturday, August 18th, The Blenders, " Oldies with a twist." Blending sounds of the 60's to present. 
    • Wednesday, August 22nd, Jam Session/Open Mic. Bring your instrument or voice and join in with our house Bluegrass duo. 
    • Friday, August 24th, Allen's Landing, "Jammin the night away." 
    • Saturday, August 25th, Pat Gavin and the Buckaroo Band, "…takes you back to the old west." Classic cowboy tunes. Pat and the gang really like to entertain. Great show!!! 
    • Wednesday, August 29th, Jam Session/Open Mic. Bring your instrument or voice and join in with our house Bluegrass duo.
  • Cactus Music (on Shepherd Drive), & Vinyl Records (Heights) have day concerts. Plus, I love trying to explain to young kids what a "record" is. You know, the flat circular thing that plays music. "A CD? That's so 1990s." I always respond, "No, not a CD. A record. Open your mind to the scratchy sound of music. It's the way I grew up." :-)

Until the next nap time...
