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.

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.
