🕺🏻Houston's Best Indie + Psych Rock

If you’re looking to see some great live music on Sunday…

…you have very limited options. However, the rest of the weekend is still pretty alive. Here are a few highlights: 

1. Jimmie Dale Gilmore - a Texas original hailing from Lubbock and active in Austin’s ‘90s music scene, his unique blend of country and folk is authentic to the state. You’ll find him at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck Friday and Saturday night. 

2. The Bright Light Social Hour - if psychedelic rock is your thing, enter the Age of Aquarius with these Austinites at White Oak Friday night. 

3. Sorry, Sarah // Small Engine Fire // Astralace - go see three of Houston’s best indie/alt bands (seriously, use the links below to listen on Spotify) at Big Top Friday night. 

Your email program might cut this short due to the quantity of links - click through to read the full list. Also, if you have some feedback as to how this newsletter could be better, please send it our way. Thanks for reading!
