Another fine show at Dosey Doe. Two of the Braun Brothers (two others make up Reckless Kelly).Great show.

Hated to hear MBD were going to stop touring, but thankful Houston was a stop. We got seats early (balcony) and enjoyed the send-off: tremendous night, super-tight playing and singing. I’ve liked this band a long time, and have most of their releases, it was so great to see them live. AJJ opened, and they were great as well. I...

House Concert. Another nice show at Dave’s house. Tony was a great storyteller between songs, and we really enjoyed the evening! Tony is a member of the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, having written one of the greatest country songs of all time. (The Dance)His songs were recorded by :Garth Brooks, Patty Loveless, Lee Roy Parnell, Dolly Parton, Clay Walker,...

Jana and I attended and evening with John Arthur Martinez and Kurt Baumer at a house concert at a friend’s home on May 22nd. This was really nice and we hope to attend more in the future. John and Kurt were great!

Fun times in Luckenbach!It was a perfect early May day, with a nice breeze and not hot (100s the following week!)Since I’m old LOL we spent extra for reserved seating, it was great, but in retrospect, our own chairs a few feet back would have been just fine. The music was fantastic from all three bands. The crowd seemed to...

By the time we heard about this show it was sold out, BUT, they added a Sunday afternoon show, so we snagged tickets and made plans to go to Austin. Never had the opportunity to see them back in the day, but have their albums and always dug the music. We had a great time, and got to enjoy a...

2026 March https://countrycentral.com/reviews/johnny-blue-skies-sturgill-simpson-mutiny-after-midnight-album-review/ After almost two years, fans of Sturgill Simpson finally have their hands on another record. Mutiny After Midnight is the second full-length installment in the discography of Johnny Blue Skies, the alias under which all of Simpson’s new music will now seemingly be released. As the full band name Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds suggests, this record places themes...

Anthony Juneau and friends playing some dinnertime tunes.

Texas Flood – SRV Tribute band. I generally DO NOT care for, or go to events with tribute bands, but hey, they were actually pretty damn good. enjoyable. Whitey Morgan and the 78s – Why I wanted to go to this local event. Good set. I enjoy his old school Honky Tonk hard rocking music, have several albums, glad to...

Always a fun show, but this one was a stripped-down version and not the full band, but it was no less fantastic. https://shinyribs.org Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn-driven Memphis soul, country twang, border music, big band swing, and roots-rock. The Austin-based nine-piece supergroup is led by Kevin Russell, the...

Time to get out of the house! First show since Covid, honestly had not heard of either of them but we really liked the music and have since bought albums from both.

For the past seven years, Robert Earl Keen has been forging a new holiday tradition with a run of irreverently themed Christmas shows. On December 2nd, the Texas singer and songwriter will kick off his eighth year of concerts with a gig in Greenville, South Carolina. As on tours of Christmases past, this trek — the Countdown to Christmas Tour...

We enjoyed listening to Lucious at Red’s while visiting Clarksdale, MS – Birthplace of the Blues. I had met and talked with him a bit the day before while hanging out at Hambone Art & Music, which was across the street from where we were staying. Yes, that really is a dude watching TV while Lucious plays, it’s Red –...

And he treated the clients and staff to some tunes at lunchtime, with a little help from his friends. Here’s a Tom Petty cover

Dosey Doe in the Woodlands on July 20th, 2019 Another fun Shinyribs show. Lots of tunes from the new album and plenty of old favorites too. Always a great show.

Finally checked off the must-see list, little did we know they would soon decide to call it quits after 28 years. It was a really good show. The Bottle Rockets, an oral story

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. photo via delius98 I’ve been a...

Alejandro rocks as always, and so awesome to be able to catch the Minus 5! Alejandro Escovedo, Peter Buck (REM), Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, John Moen with Kelly Hogan.

Always a blast seeing Kevin and the band, tonight was no exception. Boogie Down.Madeline Edwards was outstanding and will be digging deeper into her catalog.Great way to end 2016. Shinyribs Madeline Edwards

This show was supposed to be at the newly re-opened Heights Theater, but I guess the venue wasn’t ready and was moved to Rockefeller’s – which also has recently started having live music again after a hiatus of several years. The Jayhawks are another of my long-time favorite Alt-Country/Americana bands that I have not seen and can now check off...

We enjoyed another fine Ryan Bingham performance, free tix made it even better, Thanks Kara! From No Depression review of his latest record: Fear and Saturday Night is a mix of country, rock and roll, zydeco, and dust bowl roots that seamlessly blends together stories inspired from Bingham’s past. On “Broken Heart Tattoos,” Bingham adds harmonica to his gritty voice, imagining what...

Celebrating my birthday with Kimberlee, fun fun times at the House of Blues. The evening started with chillin’ in the VIP room, then came the Cheesy show – it was so much fun, if you have not heard Cheese – check him out! He proves ANY song from any genre can be a “lounge” song.So much fun!

Fun show and always great to hang out with one of my daughters!

We enjoyed a nice evening with music outside by Blue Steel

It didn’t suck nearly as bad as last year… (Free tickets)

LEGENDARY Blues band Savoy Brown, I’ve been such a fan since high school. Jumped at the chance to see them live, despite Kim Simmonds’s age, he rocked the blues hard. Sadly, Kim passed in 2022 Savoy Brown’s best-selling album was “Hellbound Train” but my favorites were Street Corner Talking and Jack to the Toad.

This was painfully bad. Felt like torture. Free tickets didn’t make it any better.

Looking for live music at the tail end of our honeymoon trip, found this and we were not disappointed, these guys could pick!

Fun times with friends BJ & Wendy. Shinyribs was a blast as always! I’m a big fan of Ha Ha Tonka, but I suppose they figured they weren’t well known to this crowd and slipped in a lot rocking Tom Petty covers.

Just Real Good Real Country Music with Susan & Jim joining us.

Fantastic show!

Jana & Daniel went to this show, they said it was great!

“I’m going to be playing at the DoseyDoe on I-45 south in the woodlands on May 27th at 7:30 pm. I’ll play some high-octane classical guitar pieces as well as some folky stuff, maybe even some blues. -Jon”

Outstanding guitarist and musician. Wonderful performance.

Great to see two faves of mine jam close by. They rocked.

Played at a conference I attended in Dallas, still got and played hard, even at at a lame conference gig.
