Admit it. You were crying in your super-double-extra-metro frappuchino when you saw the post about the Bob Schneider show tonight, weren't you? "Why isn't Houstonist giving away tickets for that show?" you whined to your co-cuber. Well, we are.

Tonight, catch Grammy award-winning R&B vocalist, singer/songwriter Jill Scott at Verizon Wireless. Frequent visitor Bob Schneider makes his trip from Austin a little bit shorter tomorrow by playing at the Cypress Saloon in northwest Houston. Local faves Orange Is In is opening, which makes for a great double-bill. Another local act, The Mighty Orq, will be presenting a lot of new material at his CD release show at the Meridian Friday night (you’ll probably hear some new stuff from his opener Tody Castillo, too). Saturday night, be sure to catch a whole slew of local bands at the Free Press’ five year anniversary bash at Super Happy Fun Land.

Did we miss something? Let us know. Here’s the full week line-up. Local bands are noted by an asterisk (*):

Here's an abridged, holiday version of this week's music calendar. If you like Latin-rock, you're in luck. Tonight, Grupo Fantasma and their funky horn section returns to the Continental Club. Nearby, at Warehouse Live, Vallejo will be playing. Del Castillo visits Warehouse Live tomorrow night.

Yup, Tropical Depression 9 has formed and is tracking North. What was once an area of low pressure could be a Tropical Storm by landfall as conditions are ripe. Projected ETA to the Houston/Galveston area is 7:00 p.m. and rainfalls of 6"-10" are possible with up to 15" in some areas. The projected flood watch area stretches from Houston/Galveston to Lake Charles. T.D. 9 is plodding along at about 8-10 mph and may slooooowly mosey...

Houstonist and Bob Schneider go back a long way. We remember partying with Bob and The Scabs/Ugly Americans at the Satellite Lounge (among other places) in the 90’s. Bob has been solo for most of this decade, bringing him more national success. He’s touring behind his latest album, The Californian, which was released late last year. Bob is playing two shows this week: an acoustic, more intimate set at the Mucky Duck on Thursday night;...

This week is a musical Smorgasbord of live acts in town. Early in the week some good regional musicians (Carol Fran or The Troubadours for example) play around town. If you like Bob Schneider, you have two opportunities to catch him live (Friday and Saturday). Also, later in the week the once brit-pop giants Travis will be performing at the Verizon Wireless Theater along with Alabama’s John Paul White. Or if you feel like...

While walking down South Congress Avenue on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Austin at SXSW last month, Houstonist came up upon the unofficial Houston music showcase. We decided to hang out for a while, grab a beer and some chips and queso, and catch some great local acts. We chatted with the host of the showcase, Pete Lippincott, who just happens to be the man behind the band Petesimple. Petesimple recently released their second CD...

The week starts off with some holiday shows. The country-flavored annual Christmas songwriter’s showcase kicks off tonight with some great Texas artists, including Radney Foster, Roger Creager and Randy Rogers. Also tonight, brother/sister act Trish and Darin hold their annual dinner show (yes, Trish is making dinner – seriously) at the Duck. Husband/wife team Kelly Willis and Bruce Robinson will play their holiday shows the following two nights at the Duck. We also recommend...

We wonder if your regular Pub Fiction patrons even understand the treat they’re in for tonight when Bob Schneider plays a free show, courtesy of the Houston Press. The Austinite has only released two major CD’s since he left The Scabs and Ugly Americans, but they are both so good that it’s amazing that the rest of the country hasn’t caught on to him yet. That may change. Bob is currently opening for the Dixie...

The great thing about being a grown up is that summer fun doesn't have to end at back to school. And since it still feels like summer anyway, have some summer fun, student style: (By which we mean costing as little as possible). Friday, August 25 Every summer, Theater Suburbia does what they call an "old-fashioned summer 'mellerdrammer'". Come boo the villain and cheer for the hero and the maiden fair in this year's offering,...

The holidays are upon us, but there are still some good live acts to see this week: Wednesday We have a feeling that Bob Schneider is probably on Santa’s “naughty” list this year, but that’s probably the way he wants it. Expect a more laid-back, acoustic Bob for this show, combining his folk-rock story-telling with some ditties that your mother would be horrified to hear. 8 p.m. at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck | tickets and...

To quote Donny & Marie, Houstonist is a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll (and electronic, and rock opera). On tap for you this week: Thursday Honeybrowne has been gaining popularity over the past couple of years, and this trend will continue with the recent release of their new Mark Addison (Bob Schneider) produced CD Something To Believe In. Their sound is polished country-rock, perfect for commercial radio — if...
