The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show is a live, one-of-a-kind musical variety show bringing all-time 
favorite Christmas classics and original sketch comedy antics to theaters across Texas. This weekend the troup of players will be in Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center.
The show’s history began in 2003 when producer Will Hearn and Blue Water Highway’s Greg Essington and Zack Kibodeaux, in their senior year at Brazoswood High School, wanted to write and perform a Christmas show of sorts…something different from anything else out there. Realizing the current market for Christmas entertainment was stale and overly commercialized, the three friends developed a show that combines progressive and culturally relevant ideas with nostalgic Christmas tunes performed through the framework of a vintage time period that appeals to a multi-generational audience. This unique concept is something we like to call progressive nostalgia—that take me back feeling that everyone can relate to, and this is something we like to think has contributed to our growth.
The show in 2003 started out as a one-night-only fundraiser for the Brazoria County Youth Home and turned out to be a surprise hit and a standing-room-only sell out. The show's producers say since then every year they have had a sell out.
Executive producer Will Hearn formally took over the reigns in 2016 and absorbed the show into his production company, The Grand Ol’ Production Company. With its demand and 
popularity continuing to grow, Mr. Hearn oversaw the first successful Grand Ol’ mini-tour in 2016 which sold nearly a thousand tickets for two shows in San Marcos and New Braunfels leading to an expanded tour in 2017 with eight shows in five cities across Texas, and for the first time since it’s inception, the show partnered with Fort Worth's 95.9FM The Ranch for its first live radio broadcast on a syndicated radio program that was heard on dozens of affiliate networks across the US, from Oregon to Florida.

The Fab Four is a California-based tribute band paying homage to The Beatles. This weekend they're at LiveNation's Bayou Music Center. The band was put together in fourteen years ago by Ron McNeil, a John Lennon impersonator.
It was eight years ago the Fab Four received an Emmy Award for their PBS special "The Fab Four: The Ultimate Tribute," filmed at Pechanga Resort & Casino in 2012.
In July Voyage La.com interviewed Ron McNeil talking about The Fab Four a tribute to The Beatles.
What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve loved the Beatles since I was a toddler, and I’ve always dreamed of being a Beatle one day. As a kid, I listened to their music incessantly, and I learned how to play and sing their songs.
When The Band of Heathens decided to dub their sixth studio album of original material Stranger (its first since 2017’s Duende), the veteran band, formed in Austin, TX nearly 15 years ago, had no idea how prophetic that title would turn out to be.
This weekend the group is in northwest Houston at 
Although the name references the famed existential Albert Camus novel and Robert Heinlein’s sci-fi classic Stranger in a Strange Land, it also touches on the “strangers” who make up the band’s loyal fan base, who supported the band during this period with all touring canceled.
As co-founder Ed Jurdi acknowledges, it is certainly an unusual time to release a new album. “The strangest,” he says. “Maybe no time stranger. Since we started, there have been sweeping, revolutionary changes in the music business, but, in this global pandemic, we’re just a microcosm.”
“We’re really fortunate that we have been able to turn directly to our fan base during the pandemic,” adds fellow co-founder Gordy Quist. “The last few months we’ve spent four nights a week live-streaming personal private concerts to fans, and one night a week publicly live-streaming with the whole band Zooming in from their respective homes in California, Texas, North Carolina and Tennessee. At first it seemed very strange until these walls started coming down and we realized how connected we are by the fabric of music.”
