This weekend starter is free and is a short ride to Seabrook. Its the Library Voyage project at the Evelyn Meador Library.

This is Chapter 2 of their new Library Voyage Series it celebrates Native American Heritage and music from our current decade with a nod to Space!

The program highlights will include, "Moonstrike" American Indian moon legends for string quartet and narrator by Chickasaw Composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate a Houston Premiere work by Latin Grammy-winning Bandoneonist and tango performer Hector Del Curto.

Houston TX based Apollo Chamber Players “performs with rhythmic flair and virtuosity” (The Strad) and has “found fruitful territory” (Houston Chronicle) through innovative, globally- inspired programming and multicultural new music commissions. Recent winner of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Residency Partnership award, the quartet has performed for sold-out audiences at Carnegie Hall twice in the past five years, and it holds the distinction of being the first American chamber ensemble to record and perform in Cuba since the embargo relaxation. Apollo is featured frequently on American Public Media’s nationally-syndicated program Performance Today.

Paquita la del Barrio y Sonora Santanera La Nueva Sangre
@Houston Arena Theatre

Friday 11/19/2021 8:30 PM
Doors Open 7:00 PM

This weekend the Latina star is in Southwest Houston at The Arena Theatre.

Paquita big break came in 1986, where she performed in a Televisa show that exposed her to a bigger audience and led to a recording contract with CBS Records. Her songs usually take a stance against Mexico's sexist male culture.

 

Jo Koy
"Just Kidding
World Tour"
@Smart Financial Center

Friday 11/19/2021 8:00 PM

The comedian, who pulls inspiration from his family, specifically his son, sells-out arenas and theaters across the world. This weekend Koy is in Sugarland at The Smart Financial Center.

Jo Koy credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents. He frequently tells stories about her in his comedy shows. She encouraged him to participate in school talent shows and to hold impromptu performances for his family and friends. This led to performances at a Las Vegas coffee house and inspired a move to Los Angeles.

John Moreland
with special guest
Will Johnson
@The Heights Theatre

Friday 11/19/2021 8:00 PM
Doors Open 7:00 PM
Lobby Opens 6:00 PM

Over the last half a dozen years or so, John Moreland’s honesty has stunned us––and stung. As he put hurts we didn’t even realize we had or shared into his songs, we sang along.

This weekend Moreland is at The Heights Theatre in Northwest Houston with Will Johnson also on the performance bill.

But there has always been far more to Moreland than sad songs. Today, his earthbound poetry remains potent, but in addition to his world-weary candor, Moreland’s music smolders with gentle wisdom, flashes of wit and joy, and compassion. And once again, as we listen, we feel better.

Whiskey Myers
@713 Music Hall

Saturday 11/20/2021 7:00 PM


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.

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.

Weekend Read

by Barack Obama (Author)
Bruce Springsteen (Author)

Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country’s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-color photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders—one Black and one white—looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself.
