🕺🏻'70s/'80s Disco & Rock Legends

We took our own recommendation and saw local indie artists Fern & Rocket, Sweet Fighter (from Nederland) and Javier Nuñez at Dan Electro’s last Sunday. We had a great time! Check out the artists if you get a chance.

There are some big name ‘70s and ‘80s shows coming to Houston this weekend, like Earth, Wind & Fire, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Hagar and Black Flag. For some (mostly) under-the-radar shows, check out our list below: 

1. Marshall Crenshaw, Kelly Willis - with big pop and alt-country hits in the ‘80s and ‘90s (Kelly Willis is on the Thelma & Louise soundtrack) these two artists will make up the lineup at The Heights Theater this Friday night.

2. Brian Scartocci - this soul artist originally hailing from New Jersey brings the sound of the ‘60s to 2024 and will be playing at Dan Electro’s late Friday night.

3. Forever Miles/Primaries/Hunny Bunny - these unique indie/pop punk bands from Houston and San Antonio are sure to make a great Friday night combo at 1810 Ojeman.

4. Scott Strickland - this singer-songwriter combines passionate vocals and complex instrumentation with a clean sound and will be playing at Dosey Doe on Saturday night.

5. Junior H -this popular artist known for corridos tumbados, a genre that mixes trap music + Mexican corridos, will be at the Toyota Center on Friday.

As always, click the artist’s name to hear their music!
