The Ernest Walker Band
@Miller Outdoor Theatre

Saturday 6/27/2021 8:30PM

In celebration of Black Music Month, The Miller Outdoor Theatre is bringing you “Keeping the Music Alive,” featuring The Ernest Walker Band and Friends.

This live performance will be bringing the iconic sounds of R&B and Hip Hop legends, remembering the classic sounds that have been stirring souls for generations.

“This music is part of our culture,” Walker said. “I think it is important that we educate the younger generation, exposing them to the type of music which has been setting trends for years.”

Rhythm and blues is a genre of popular music that originated in African-American communities in the 1940s. The music has evolved over the generations, touching our souls with something to fit anything anyone was going through from the “Down Home Blues” (Z.Z. Hill), to “Love and Happiness” (Al Green) to the songstresses telling love interests they were “Giving You the Best That I Got” (Anita Baker).

And when it comes to the evolution of Hip Hop, a time machine can take you on a thumping ride from the carefully rhyming days of the Sugar Hill Gang to smooth rappers like Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J, to street poets for social justice like the legendary KRS-One, Public Enemy and 2Pac Shakur.

“Keeping Music Alive” will give throwback performances and pay special tribute to Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, Barry White, Michael Jackson, Prince, Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac and more.

Ernest Walker Band and Friends include Mary Griffin, Chris Walker, Liz Vaughn, Kyle Turner, Werner Richmond, J. Xavier, Andre James and Kai Hicks.

 Bob Schneider
@The Heights Theatre

Saturday 6/26/2021 6:30 PM & 9:30 PM

 One of Austin’s most celebrated musicians, Bob Schneider, is set to release his new album, ​Blood and Bones​ – his 7th studio album since his 2001 solo debut ​Lonelyland. This weekend Schneider is in the Heights at The Height's Theatre.

​Blood and Bones​ captures Schneider at a unique, and distinct, place. “Most of the songs are about this phase of my life,” he admits. “I’m re-married, I have a 2-year-old baby daughter who was born over two months premature because my wife had life threatening pre-eclampsia. So dealing with that traumatic event while getting older and looking at death in a realistic, matter of fact way, experiencing the most joy I’ve ever experienced along with feelings of utter despondency in a way that would have been impossible to experience earlier in my life, all comes out in the songs. My relationship with my wife is the longest committed relationship I’ve ever been in, so there was a lot of uncharted territory there to write about.”

This weekend in the Heights its Austin's Bob Schneider.

Charley Crockett
@White Oak Music Hall

Saturday 6/26/2021 6:30 PM


A native of South Texas, he was raised in an isolated, rural part of the Rio Grande Valley by a single mother in a trailer surrounded by sugar cane and grapefruit fields. As a teenager, he was into free-styling and rapping. He spent formative years living with his uncle in New Orleans where he first became a street performer who discovered a love for folk music. In New York City he played hip hop and blues on street corners and in subway cars. What’s also important to his identity as an artist, he says, is that he has lived the songs he writes and sings. “I’ve always had to work so damn hard to get any little bit of anything,” says Crockett

Steel Panther
Heavy Metal Rules Tour
@HOB Houston


Saturday 6/26/2021 8:30 PM


Steel Panther is Michael Starr [lead vocals], Satchel [lead guitar], Lexxi Foxx [bass], and Stix Zadinia [drums] and they say they have certainly waved the flag for sex, drugs, and metal to the point of keeping this holy trinity alive since emerging in 2000. However, they fulfill (i.e. engorge) this mission to its fullest potential on their fifth full-length, the aptly titled Heavy Metal Rules. The solos screech louder, the vocals soar higher, the drums hit harder, and the bass throbs mightier than ever before.

“You’re going to hear something familiar, but you’re also going to hear something new,” says Michael. “We grew as musicians and as people. The core values stay the same: Heavy Metal Rules and hot chicks are fun.”

“We’re going to write about sex, drugs, and all of the Bitchin’ shit from the 80s we love,” Satchel leaves off. “It’s a great feeling to be in this band. We have a blast. We love each other. We’ve been through a lot together. We’ll keep on rocking until one us breaks a hip or some shit.”

“We really do love heavy metal and performing,” Michael concludes. “We’re going to fucking conquer the world the Steel Panther way. Heavy metal is coming back. Pretty soon, everyone’s going to have long hair and wear spandex.”

Warehouse Wired
Buckcherry, Saliva
Hinder Drowning Pool
& Saving Abel
@The Ballroom at Warehouse Live

Saturday 6/26/2021 2:00 PM

This weekend at Warehouse Live, The Ballroom we can say the national pandemic is nearing its ending here in the Bayou City with this line up. 

The promoters have put together seven groups that will take eveyone from Saturday afternoon to late night. Its Warehouse Wired. The headliner is Buckcherry.

Buckcherrry recently announced their Hellbound tour which passes through Houston this weekend as part of Warehouse Wired weekend.

In 2005, lead vocalist Josh Todd and lead guitarist Keith Nelson reformed Buckcherry with a new lineup and released a new album in 2006, 15. It contained Buckcherry's biggest crossover hits to date, "Crazy Bitch", and their first Billboard Hot 100 top ten hit, "Sorry".

In April, Buckcherry announced their new album Hellbound (due for release 25th June 2021 through Earache Records and Round Hill Records), along with the release of a new single and accompanying video "So Hott" (which was nominated for Classic Rock Magazine's Track Of The Week) and the announcement of a North American tour. Marti Frederiksen (who has previously collaborated with Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Jonny Lang and Sheryl Crow - he's "like the sixth member of Aerosmith," said Buckcherry guitarist Stevie D) and is being sold on a variety of collectable vinyl (pink, yellow and orange via Earache Records and black and clear smoke vinyl via Round Hill Records).


Red (also stylized R3D or RED) a Christian rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2002 by brothers guitarist Anthony Armstrong and bassist Randy Armstrong, with lead vocalist Michael Barnes. The band's first lineup also consisted of drummer Andrew Hendrix and guitarist Jasen Rauch. Currently, the line-up has consisted of the core trio of the Armstrong brothers and Barnes.

Tantric from Louisville, Kentucky was founded in 1998 by former Days of the New members Todd Whitener, Jesse Vest and Matt Taul, who added frontman, Hugo Ferreira, the following year. Ferreria is the only remaining member of the band from the original lineup.


Saving Abel from Corinth, Mississippi by Jared Weeks and Jason Null. The band is named after the biblical story of Cain and Abel, in which a man named Cain kills his brother Abel. Band member Jason Null thought up the band title saying "I Googled the story of Cain and Abel and found a line about 'there was no saving Abel,' which just jumped out at me."

Original lead singer Jared Weeks left the band at the end of 2013 to pursue a solo career. Scott Austin of Trash the Brand was chosen as his replacement.

Drowning Pool from in Dallas, Texas began in 1996. The band was named after the 1975 film The Drowning Pool. Since its formation, the band has consisted of guitarist C.J. Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton, and drummer Mike Luce, as well as a revolving cast of vocalists, the latest being Jasen Moreno.

Hinder from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, formed by lead singer Austin Winkler, guitarist Joe "Blower" Garvey, and drummer Cody Hanson with bassist Mike Roden and guitarist Mark King, joining in 2003, solidifying the line-up. The band released four studio albums with Winkler; Extreme Behavior (2005), Take It to the Limit (2008), All American Nightmare (2010) and Welcome to the Freakshow (2012). Cody Hanson, along with former lead singer Austin Winkler, wrote the majority of the band's music on their first four albums. After Winkler left the band in 2013, they looked for a new lead vocalist, and added Marshal Dutton. They have since released: When The Smoke Clears (2015) and The Reign (2017) with their new vocalist. Their seventh studio album is expected in 2020. The band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
