May 16th - New Kids On The Block w/ TLC @ Toyota Center
Talk about a “blast from the past” with this show! The 90’s are invading the Toyota Center and giving the good people of Houston the chance to see New Kids On The Block and TLC live on May 16th! So dig out your parachute pants and flannel shirts, it’s 90’s time!
May 18th - Built To Spill @ Warehouse Live
Built to Spill is an influential indie band with staying power. Their most recent album was their 8th studio release. While never fully “reaching the big time”, this band has cultivated a die-hard following, and rightfully so! Check them out on May 18th and enjoy a night of amazing music!
May 23rd - Runaway Sun @ Scout Bar
Runaway Sun is a Houston-based blues rock band that we couldn’t be prouder to admit features Sessions Musics’ own Matt Buehrer on bass. This band is nothing but great guitar riffs, rough rock vocals, and great beats! Do not miss them at Scout Bar on May 23rd.
May 26th - Neil Diamond @ Toyota Center
To quote the Jack Black movie “Saving Silverman”, “Neil Diamond is the greatest singer/songwriter of this, or any generation…”. While we might not go that far, he certainly is a legend and his show is not to be missed! Check him out in Houston on May 26th.
May 29th - Pat Green @ Redneck Country Club
If you haven’t heard of Pat Green, you haven’t been in Texas for very long. This man’s name goes up there with Stevie Ray, Willie Nelson, and Jerry Jeff as the father’s of Texas music and every true Texan needs to see him live! You get your chance on May 29th.
May 30th - George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic @ House Of Blues
What can we say about George Clinton that hasn’t already been said? The man is THE funk legend. He brings the funk in everything he does from his outfits to his outlandish stage performances. You’ll want to tell your grandkids one day that you got to see the mothership and George Clinton perform! Don’t miss him on May 30th.
