Hey there, I'm Beatmap, your secret weapon friend for unlocking
Houston's music magic. You'll spot me at any venue where
there's a beat, a story, and a crowd with their
hands in the air. Obsessed maybe, But around here music
isn't just the backdrop, it's the whole adventure. Every week,
I thread my way through jazz lounges, indie dives, and
outdoor stages, collecting melodies like souvenirs, and rooting for the

local legends before they're even famous. Ready for a ride

outdoor synth Lace Dusk expect tickets in the forty five
dollars eighty dollars range and b Badoobe with Pretty Sick
opening takes over seven hundred and thirteen Music Hall. That's Tuesday,
April twenty ninth. Don't sleep on those tickets. If you
love fuzz hooks and melancholic charm venues, don't get me started,

(01:49):
or do. My pick of the week is white Oak
Music Hall. It's the city's ultimate genre blender, with cozy
indoor spots and sprawling outdoor stages. This weekend, catch Moss
and Nightcap there. Acts here move from whispered folk to
sweaty dance floors in a flash, and the view of
Houston's skyline is unbeatable once the sun slips behind the skyscrapers.

(02:11):
If you ask me, it's where the city's heart beats loudest.
There's a current of artists in this city who deserve
all the spotlight right now. I can't get enough of
the Suffers local soul with hurricane force vocals, or Jordie
Greep who's carving out experimental soundscapes at Last Concert Cafe
this week for something totally Houston, check out a Shannon

(02:32):
Curtis said at the Secret Group, She's bound to leave
you buzzing. My own weekly music routine, Mondays start at
Shoeshine Charlie's Big Top Lounge for there, anything can happen,
open mic where surprises are part of the ritual. Wednesdays,
I religiously show up for Jazz Night at the Continental Club,
a Houston institution with a twenty four year history and

(02:53):
the kind of regulars who remember the city before it
was cool Sundays. If I can still stand, I'm at
mcgonagall's Mucky Duck, weaving through Irish pub flavors and acoustic
Texas legends. Festival fever is building too. I'm already mapping
my route for the annual outdoor fest at Buffalo Bayou Park.
Keep an eye out for surprise sets, food trucks that

(03:15):
double as after party hubs in a main stage known
for impromptu guest jams. Let's just say my portable phone
charger is fully charged for the next month. Now let
me spill a couple secrets. Dan Electro's in the Heights
is the kind of blink and you'll miss it. Hideout
where blues guitar still feels dangerous, for offbeat vibes and
no nonsense sets Numbers on Westeimer is my late night haunt.

(03:37):
It's where The Cure and the Black Keys once sweated
out their early shows, and where tonight's dance party might
become tomorrow's urban legend. When I need that last minute
show fix, I go full detective. I stalk songkick and
Instagram stories, text friends who always know a friend, and
check the Rustics calendar for surprise sets. Nothing beats catching

(03:58):
a national act in a venue built for home grown vibes.
Warehouse Lives schedule is another must. Between their intimate studio
and big ballroom, they've always got a wild card event waiting.
