In addition to eateries, Houston boasts a densely packed theater district, an enthusiastic sports fan base, and the world’s largest rodeo. Although Houston’s image is not focused on music, its entertainment industries paired with some of the lowest urban housing costs nation-wide mean that this city has the makings of a bright music future.

Houston’s music scene is resilient

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey became one of the costliest tropical cyclones to date, flooding Texas, Louisiana, Nicaragua, Belize, and Honduras among other areas.

This quick turn-around was kicked off with Janet Jackson’s world tour. Soon thereafter, small local artist began filling venues that had been spared, salvaged, and repaired from Hurricane Harvey. Emerging rap artists Flyger Woods performed at the House of Blues in Houston, one of the first local artists to build up the music community after the tragedy. Soon thereafter, statewide and regional acts came to Houston, including Open Mike Eagle, Frankie Rose, Dent May, and Brockhampton.

The University of Houston Libraries holds one of the nation’s most compelling hip hop research collections, containing papers, photographs, records, recordings, memorabilia, and more from multiple stars in Houston’s hip-hop community. Although U of H hosts a number of hip-hop concerts throughout the year, the city’s scene goes far beyond that, with organizations such as Houston Hip-Hop Fix organizing the city’s expression of the genre, from interviews to music videos to early releases to concert news. With such a solid scene, it is no wonder why musicians such as DJ Screw, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Scarface, Chamillionaire, Lil’ Keke, Mike Jones, Trae, and Big Moe rose in popularity. Today, Houston’s hip-hop scene still makes an impact, shepherding in diverse performers, including a new wave of women, such as Genesis B.L.U. Listeners who love exploring nuances within the genre of hip-hop or supporting diverse perspectives in the genre ought to stop by Houston and appreciate its hip-hop concerts.

Houston has contributed to the success of artists across genres

In the 1940s and 1950s, Houston native Don Robey opened up his nightclub, The Peacock, which gave blues and R&B artists a platform to perform, enabling them to achieve fame. Johnny Ace, Bobby “Blue” Bland” Big Mama Thornton, Junior Parker, and others benefited from Houston’s stages. In the 1960s, Houston’s artists dispersed throughout the country, modifying national sounds; Roky Erickson pushed psychedelic sounds, and Billy Gibbons brought blues guitar. Gibbons later formed a famous rock band ZZ Top, spinning the genre into new avenues of sound.
