Welcome to yet another installation of Rock Talk! It's been too long, but we have to blame our day job for that transgression. In the meantime, Houstonist has a boatload and then some of music news for you all. Someone find us a bigger boat. more ›

This is your last chance to see Jana Hunter perform before she moves to Baltimore, MD.

Local Folk muscian, Jana Hunter and fellow folk artist Castanets had some equipment stolen during a tour stop in Tucson, AZ. The skinny is: gig over, unsecured rental van suffers door damage, Ray sleeps in van, ballsy criminals make off with what gear they can carry - local artist and friends stand to be out a fair amount of cash. Houstonist is a big fan of local music and supporting local artists. For example, we... more ›
