Fastball Cactus Music and Video |
Sat., August 22, 2:00pm |
Lower Shepherd-Kirby |
|
 Before they head over to the House Of Blues to open for the (thankfully) one and only Sugar Ray, Austin's Fastball will be taking the stage for a quick set over at Cactus Music. The solid-hitting pop rock band hit the radio waves in the summer of 1998 with "The Way" off that year's All The Pain... More >> |

John Evans, Cody Kouba, Sean Reefer & The Resin Valley Boys, Opie Hendrix Blanco's Bar & Grill |
Sat., August 22, 5:00pm |
Greenway Plaza |
|
 With a grit that betrays his youth, Cody Kouba is an aberration in the increasingly polished world of Texas Country. Kouba’s lyrical content is more Earle and Merle than Pat and Cory. The year 2001 saw Kouba leaving his old band Lost Cause and finally hitting it big solo in 2003 with a new... More >> |

Sugar Ray, Fastball, Green River Ordinance House of Blues |
Sat., August 22, 8:00pm |
Downtown/ Midtown |
|
 Since forming in the late '80s, the band Sugar Ray has given us a number of beautiful delights. The cover of their first album Lemonade And Brownies had a sweet picture of a nude Nicole Eggert, the Baywatch actress. For some reason two years later, the band was featured in the Robin... More >> |

Hot Club Of Cowtown, Eric Keyes Continental Club |
Sat., August 22, 8:00pm |
Downtown/ Midtown |
|
 It’s been over a decade since Hot Club of Cowtown formed and became an instant hit with fans of country and swing. Since forming in 1997, Hot Club has been one of the most consistent and reliable acts in the broad pantheon of Texas music, although they did go their separate ways for almost... More >> |

Donkey Punch, Whorehound, Poor Dumb Bastards, Dollyrockers Rudyard's |
Sat., August 22, 9:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 Sweet mother, Whorehound is loud as hell. For a trio the Whores really bring the proverbial pain. Made up of scene veterans including cheel Boondocks bartender Jon Black, these guys have been punishing eardrums for the past four years. Our favorite song is "Sour Mash Salvation", for the line...

The Okra Principle Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - West Oaks |
Sat., August 22, 7:00pm |
Outer Loop - SW |
|
 There's no drama bigger than the one happening at your very own kitchen table. That's the basic idea behind Amaechi Felix Madueke's The Okra Principle, about three Nigerian brothers whose favorite food is the traditional Nigerian okra soup. Of course, soup isn't the problem; it's just the... More >> |

|
 Theater groups from across Houston will participate in the frenzied Madcap 24. Each group will write, cast, direct and stage a production in a single 24-hour period.

The Music of the Night Crighton Theater |

Wonder of the World Midtown Art Center |
Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., August 14 until Sat., August 29, 8:00pm |

 When the show first opened at Manhattan Theatre Club in New York, it starred Sarah Jessica Parker as Cass Harris, the unhappily married lady at the center of David Lindsay-Abaire's Wonder of the World; it also featured Amy Sedaris as a comic-relief character.
