LiveNation's new music venue 713 Music Hall will host Whiskey Myers this weekend.
The band started when friends Cody Cannon and Cody Tate began playing guitar together, inspired by the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, and other southern rock and country artists. After being joined by friend John Jeffers, they began calling themselves Lucky Southern. After playing together for a while, the three decided to start a more serious band. They enlisted friend Jeff Hogg to play drums, and asked Cannon's cousin Gary Brown to play bass (although he did not know how to play the instrument at the time). They began playing shows around their hometown and native state of Texas, slowly starting to build a following on the Texas/Red Dirt scene.
The band draws as much inspiration from Nirvana as from Waylon Jennings> The band would burst out of the gate with the raging “Die Rockin’,” followed by such bruisers as “Rolling Stone” and “Gasoline.” Over the course of fourteen tracks, though, songs expand, moods change and songs like “Bury My Bones” and “California to Carolina” explore different stories and emotions.
“You want an album to be like a rollercoaster,” says Jeffers. “Does it really take you for a ride, with ups and downs and some loops and sometimes you’re upside down?”
“Those first songs on the album were the first batch we recorded, and they were really rock and roll,” says Cannon. “That got the juices flowing. But an album should be like a whole work of art that moves, comes out strong, ends strong, flows in the middle — like a good show does.”

Daniel Sloss began his worldwide tour for the last fall in the UK, and began his U.S. tour back in October. In April Sloss took "Hubris" to Australia, performing 32 shows in 30 days and ranking as the best-selling comedian in the world for the first half of the year. This weekend Sloss with Kai Humphries is at LiveNation's Bayou Music Center in Bayou Place in downtown Houston.
Daniel Sloss is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning Scottish comedian.
This is Sloss’ first tour since 2018, after his premiere of Daniel Sloss: X. The comedian performed in 40 countries and released an HBO special for the show in 2019. Sloss also has two Netflix specials which premiered in 2018, Daniel Sloss: Jigsaw and Daniel Sloss: Dark.
Daniel Sloss: X notably addressed the #MeToo movement and highlighted modern takes on masculinity just a year after the beginning of the movement in 2017. His stand-up performance offered constructive criticism in a fresh and entertaining way, and successfully walked the line of being both humorous and insightful. With his newest show on the way, it will be interesting to see what kind of content Sloss includes given the past few years we have had.
Sloss's extraordinary tenth solo show ‘Daniel Sloss: X’ received rave reviews across its record-breaking, global tour that spanned an incredible 300 performances across 40 countries. Filmed in Sydney, ‘X’ premiered on HBO in the USA and Canada in 2019 and subsequently made history with its UK release, becoming the first comedy special to make its national debut on the big screen, exclusively at Vue in February 2020.

Josh Wolf is a comedian, actor and NY Times Bestselling author best known for his work as a round table guest and writer on E!’s “Chelsea Lately” and “After Lately.”
This weekend Wolf is in Houston at The Improv.
Throughout 2013-2014, Wolf hosted “Shark After Dark” which aired during the ultra-popular “Shark Week” on The Discovery Channel. This led to Josh being cast as the host for Discovery’s late night series “Naked and Afraid.” In 2015, Wolf hosted CMT’s first original late night comedy series, “The Josh Wolf Show.” Most recently, in his time off from touring, Josh has been doing a weekly podcast with Freddie Prinz Jr. In addition to that, Josh has experienced exponential growth on his YouTube page due largely in part to his 2019 stand up special, “Father of The Year”, bringing his subscriber count to 1 million and counting.

The band was formed by Lyle and McEwan meeting during a co-writing workshop in 2012 in North Hollywood, CA.
This weekend they're in the bayou City at White Oak Music Hall.
Inspired in part by the score for Drive, and the retro synth genre growing around its release. The pair wrote two singles, "We Move Forward" and "Gloria", that would be released two years later in 2014 as part of their debut EP titled Days of Thunder. In 2016, the duo released a 12 track LP, Endless Summer, followed in 2017 with the release of Nocturnal, which spent several weeks as a best seller on the music distribution website Band camp and reached number 17 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic charts October 2017.

Like the film, the musical tells the story of a talented but volatile actor whose reputation for being difficult forces him to adopt a new identity as a woman in order to land a job. The original movie revolved around a daytime soap opera, while the show involves a Broadway musical.
Call it “musical comedy heaven” (Rolling Stone). Call it “the most uproarious new musical in years!” (The Hollywood Reporter). Call it Tootsie! This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime.
Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony-winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “Tootsie is it!”
All patrons ages 12 and older will be required to show either proof of a negative COVID-19 test result or proof of vaccination, and photo identification. Patrons ages 18 and older must bring a photo ID that matches the name on the proof. Guests younger than age 18 without ID must be accompanied by an adult with proper identification.
