Tis the Houston Concert Season
Houston is going to enjoy quite an eclectic concert season the second half of 2018. The headliners of the headliners include genre-bending superstar Taylor Swift, the brilliant Kenny Chesney, and ageless rock gods the Foo Fighters.
Of course, those three concerts are just the tip of the iceberg. The artist queue is long and has something for anyone who has ever turned on a radio (err, or listened to Pandora).
