🕺🏻Folk Rock/Piano Ballads + Bossa Nova/Latin Jazz

The weather is being seasonally appropriate this week. Time to dig for that nice thick sweater you wear 3 days a year (because: Houston). And if temps stay cold that long, you might be able to wear it to one of the concerts below! Check out our highlights and then explore the list: 

1. Dawes - if folk rock, piano ballads and sprawling jams are your thing, make your way over to the Heights Theater Saturday night 

2. Chris Seymore - Kris Kristofferson may have passed away this year but outlaw country is still alive. Check out this South Carolinian Saturday afternoon at Dan Electro’s.

3. Herb Alpert/Lani Hall - Is Herb Alpert the most famous living trumpeter? These living legends will bring their unique blend of bossa nova and latin jazz to UH’s Cullen Center Sunday night.
