Hey, Everybody -- This Sunday evening I'll be playing at a very interesting place: Super Happy Funland, a progressive space that was recently named Best All Ages Venue by the Houston Press. Super Happy Stringman, Greg Henkel, will accompany me on his ever-impressive viofiddle in a diverse line up of young indie acts making their way through Houston on coast to coast summer tours, and I'm excited about checking out the music and the scene at this old-school, underground artists’ warehouse "just around the way" on Houston's east end, only a couple of miles from downtown/midtown:

About Super Happy Funland:
"For those who believe that the young brain should be exposed to all sorts of culture, Houston's one-stop spot is Super Happy Fun Land. Husband-and-wife team Brian Arthur and Olivia Dvorak — who, in 2008, moved the now nine-year-old project from a Heights-area house to its current East End spot — continue to bring in the sublime, the bizarre and the wrecked. Along with touring acts like Nautical Almanac and Tatsuya Nakatani that carry quite a bit of heft in the DIY scene, the venue presents interesting and original local acts that range from jet-aircraft-loud noise to broken folk. Of-age folks can kill time between sets by draining a can of Lone Star (for a donation). Under 21? No worries, dude. Along with the oversize Cabbage Patch Kids statues to admire, there's also the left-field art gallery to check out." -- Houston Press
