C. M. Mayo: The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire Blue Willow Bookshop	Mon., June 8	Outer Loop - SW	Book Events Free Events
They didn't call it geopolitics back then, but Mexican Emperor Maximilian was playing international power games just the same.

D.L. Hughley, Adele Givens Arena Theatre	Fri., June 12, 8:00pm	Outer Loop - SW	Comedy Music Performing Arts
This is the first chance Houston will have to see comedian D.L. Hughley in concert since CNN canceled his show D.L. Hughley Breaks the News. Seems Hughley’s brand of low-brow humor was a little too low for the news station’s audience. (What? Calling the GOP political convention... More >>

America, Christopher Cross The Showgrounds @ Sam Houston Race Park	Sat., June 13, 8:00pm	Outer Loop - SW	Music
Coming straight from the School of Velvety Vocals and Insidious Hooks, America was perfect for a music world already sated on the Beatles and hippie-folk. In fact, Sir George Martin produced the lion’s share of their recorded output. The original trio of the band was made up Air Force... More >>

Two Tons of Steel, Katy Stuckey Band The Firehouse Saloon & Eatery	Sat., June 13, 8:00pm	Galleria	Music
Uncle Tupelo made explicit how the roots of punk and hard-core honky-tonk intermingled: the rejection (often drunken) of instrumental competence, the politics of desire and its immediate and sometimes disastrous effects. Whether it has been cowpunk in the '80s or alt-country the following... More >>

"Yo! MTV Raps Tour" With Naughty By Nature, Tone Loc, Rob Base, 2 Live Crew, Big Daddy Kane Arena Theatre	Sat., June 13, 8:00pm	Outer Loop - SW	Music
I can't help but approach the Yo! MTV Rap Fest, a show I'm just gonna assume MTV has nothing to do with, with both fond nostalgia and sad pity. Sure, the show features some of the most recognizable names of late-'80s/early-'90s hip-hop: Naughty By Nature, Big Daddy Kane, Rob Base, Live Crew -... More >>

Joe Cocker Arena Theatre	Mon., June 15, 8:00pm	Outer Loop - SW	Music
The songman born John Robert Cocker has always possessed a grittier, more soulful voice than anyone would expect from a northern Brit. But a fan of Ray Charles and company since childhood, Joe Cocker honed his own vocal instrument with an authentic bluesy grit only enhanced, over time, by his... More >>

Gipsy Kings Arena Theatre	Wed., June 17	Outer Loop - SW	Music

The Beauty Queen of Leenane Theatre Southwest	Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., May 29 until Sat., June 20, 8:00pm more dates/times	Outer Loop - SW	Theater
Martin McDonagh is the latest Anglo-Irish darling of the theater. His often gruesome plays are funny and real as they bring to life all sorts of monstrous and all-too-human behavior. The Beauty Queen of Leenane, which was nominated for a Tony in 1998, tells what happens to a spinstery virgin... More >>
