RED TIGER

For those of you who chose The Concert Pub North as your New Year's Eve destination, you probably saw Red Tiger open for Marzi Montazeri.  

Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Red Tiger is rapidly making Houston their home.  Red Tiger is Moe Rodriguez, Ale Figueroa, Red Latu and Tiko Duran.  When these boys took the stage, the energy immediately ramped up in the place.

Their music has a slightly harder edge to it, but Red's spot on vocals and excellent stage presence made them an instant crowd favorite.  Reminiscent of the 80's, their original music showcases Red's range perfectly.  

Be sure to check out their website RedTigerMusic and look for their music on iTunes and Amazon.


EPIC

Comprised of Chris Crawford (Drums), Carlos Fernandez (Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Greg Cernuch (Lead Guitar) and Sean Adams (Bass Guitar), Epic was formed in 2005.

It didn't take long for Epic to work their way into the hearts of thrash metal fans.  With a foundation of solid musicality and hard hitting vocals, Epic's fan base grows with every show they play.  With music akin to Pantera and Slayer, Epic's shows offer fans original music with some old favorites thrown in for good measure.


In addition to performing over 100 shows per year, Epic also made a 2013 appearance at SXSW in Austin.  In addition, Epic also caught the ear of That Metal Show's Jim Florentine who recommended viewers to check them out.


Be sure to like these guys on Facebook  and make sure you get to a show!



Welcome to Support Local Music in Houston

The local music scene in Houston has been thriving for decades.  No matter what the genre, live music can be heard across the city any day of the week.  From bands that play favorites from today and yesterday to those who only play all original music, there is no shortage of talent in the Bayou City.

This blog is dedicated to introducing you to local bands and their music as well as some of the venues around town.  In addition, we will introduce you to some home grown radio programs that cater to Houston's music scene.


From an early age, Shannon remembers sitting on top of her father's rig while he rehearsed with his band, "Rudy Owen and the Overland Stage".  This introduction instilled a life long love of live music.  Shannon's husband Spencer's roots run deep as the grandson of the Father of Bluegrass, Leon "Pappy" Selph.  After touring with Pappy and his Blue Ridge Boys, Spencer began playing locally and writing music for films.


Thank you for stopping by and we hope you will continue to join in the conversation.
