Lindsey Buckingham
With Special Guest
Sammy Brue
@Smart Financial Center

Saturday 12/11/2021 7:30 PM

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation. Last weekend the music man delivered a live stream, "At Home With Lindsey Buckingham" from his Los Angles home.

This weekend the "soft rocker" will be in Sugarland at Smart Financial Center with guest Sammy Brue.

Buckingham's instinct for melody and his singular finger picking guitar style are showcased on the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist, beginning with 1981’s "Law and Order" and continuing through this year’s Lindsey Buckingham, his first solo release since 2011’s "Seeds We Sow".


Over the last four decades, Buckingham has developed a radical sense of experimentation and an unrivaled savvy as a producer, singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and the musical visionary of "Fleetwood Mac."

While playing with the 80's icon band Buckingham, wrote and produced several Top Ten hits, including “Go Your Own Way” and “Big Love.” Under Buckingham’s direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time.

Buckingham's guest at the evening concert will be Sammy Brue. (From All Music.com) Brue began honing his sharp songwriting and exploring his deep love for Americana and country-folk at the age of ten. By the age of 13 he was opening for artists such as Joe Fletcher, Lukas Nelson, Lydia Loveless, Asleep at the Wheel, and Hayes Carll, and by 14 he had released two EPs and garnered praise from the likes of Lucinda Williams and Justin Townes Earle, the latter of whom took the young troubadour under his wing -- Brue even appeared on the cover of Earle's 2014 LP, Single Mothers. In 2017, Brue released his John Paul White and Ben Tanner-produced full-length debut, I Am Nice, on New West Records. Three years later, he returned with a sophomore effort, Crash Test Kid.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid
@Hobby Center
Sarofim Hall

December 7th-24th, 2021

(From The Hobby Center.org) Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this Broadway gem will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World.”

Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

Giveon
Timeless Tour
Warehoue Live

Saturday 12/11/2021 8:00 PM
Doors Open 7:00 PM

It was a few weeks ago Giveon received mass appeal attention on ABC's American Music Awards. This weekend he will be at Warehouse Live in his "Timeless Tour".

(From Warehoue Live.com) Givēon has made himself one of music’s brightest stars by bringing vivid color, depth, and soul to songs that capture the intensity of life’s twists and turns. After coming to fame via Drake’s “Chicago Freestyle,” the CA native became a force in his own right. Givēon had a whirlwind 2020 after releasing his Platinum-certified “Like I Want You” (225 million cross-platform streams in the US).


He kept the momentum with “Heartbreak Anniversary,” a gauzy ballad that peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, garnered over 668 million streams, and earned 2X Platinum status. In March 2020, Givēon’s debut EP, Take Time, confirmed his evocative songwriting prowess and would be nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2021 Grammys. His fall When It’s All Said and Done EP further explored the peaks and valleys of love and, when re-packaged with its predecessor in 2021, hit #5 on the Billboard 200.

SOUL

After being nominated for a 2020 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist, he won BET’s 2021 Best New Artist, and his audience is growing—to the tune of over 1.7 billion streams globally. He even hit #1 on the Hot 100 in March on Justin Bieber’s “Peaches.” That hit helped him win award for Best Pop Song at the 2021 MTV VMA‘s where he was nominated for seven awards including Best New Artist, Best R&B and Best Pop Song. Drake then invited Givēon back into his world, this time for a sizzling verse on Certified Lover Boy’s “In the Bible” with Lil Durk—one of a guaranteed run of thrilling collabs to come.

And at his festival debut, Lollapalooza 2021, he found a sea of voices who knew his lyrics. But success has never really been a goal—Givēon just wants to bear his soul.

City Ballet of Houston Presents

The Nutcracker
@The Grand
Opera House
in Galveston

Saturday 12/11/2021 2:00 PM & 6:30 PM
Sunday 12/12/2021 2:00 PM

The City Ballet of Houston this weekend in Galveston presents its annual holiday favorite that delights audiences of all ages – City Ballet of Houston’s The Nutcracker presentation returns to The Grand 1894 Opera House. The Nutcracker tells a story of a young girl who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince, a Sugar Plum Fairy, and a fierce battle against a Mouse King.

(From City Ballet of Houston) Inner City Nutcracker involves docents and auditions where hundreds of inner city families are introduced to the world of ballet, and 100 children are selected to participate in the production. The children receive full training for the performances over an eight-week period, including instruction in dance technique and etiquette, costuming and participation in full length, professional level productions. The project culminates with the children’s appearance in two full-length performances at Houston’s Jones Hall. The first is performed exclusively for children from some of the most underserved schools in Houston, and the second is performed, admission free, to the Houston community. This project touches approximately 7,000 individuals.

Houston Symphony
Handel's Messiah
@Jones Hall
for The Performing Arts

Saturday 12/11/2021 8:00 PM
Sunday 12/12/2021 2:30 PM

This weekend its Houston Symphony's interpretation of Handel's Messiah. Handel's Messiah has been described by early-music scholar Richard Luckett as "a commentary on Jesus Christ's, Nativity, Passion, Resurrection and Ascension", beginning with God's promises as spoken by the prophets and ending with Christ's glorification in heaven. Handel wrote Messiah in 1741. It was first performed in Dublin in 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. Scholars say, Handel wrote Messiah for modest vocal and instrumental forces, with optional settings for many of the individual numbers. In the years after his death, the work was adapted for performance on a much larger scale, with giant orchestras and choirs.
