(From All Music.com) Building on his start as one of the most popular finalists of American Idol's fifth season, Chris Daughtry proved that the program could generate a successful rock act outside the show's context. Bold and bald, Daughtry 
was the very picture of a modern rocker living by the rule book written by Live and Fuel. He founded the band Daughtry in 2006 and released the group's eponymous debut, which soared to number one and was eventually certified six times platinum. Daughtry remained a commercial juggernaut as the years progressed, with subsequent efforts like Leave This Town and Break the Spell also going gold and platinum. The band incorporated pop, dance, and folk elements into their sound on 2013's Baptized but returned to a more modern rock and post-grunge-focused style for 2021's Dearly
This weekend Esparza is at The Improv on the Katy Freeway.
During a stint in rehab before he was 21, Felipe was asked what he wanted out of life. As a young immigrant growing up in the projects in Boyle Heights (East L.A.) and then as a teenage father

(From XXL.com) Sometimes all it takes for an artist to find themselves is a community of support. Mike Dimes, a 21-year-old rapper who calls San Antonio, Texas home, didn't find his way to rap music until he had a consistent friend group. This weekend Dimes is in The Bronze Peacock at 
Houston's House of Blues.
A military child, Dimes had to move often, eventually settling down in the Lone Star State. Once the aspiring rhymer decided he wanted to rap at 17, he had the support from his friends in his new city.

"They used to perform at school performances... to New Edition, so that's how I learned that's how I fell in love with them.""You know, everybody wants to be Ronnie. But you know, I'm always going to be the Ralph," she laughed. Smith said she's more of a Bobby.
