Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra delivered a brilliant concert that reminded us that jazz continues to evolve while staying firmly rooted in culture and tradition.

“For Choirboys, Church Queens, and Those Whose Sundays Stopped Too Soon” at Project Row Houses

Harrison Guy’s “For Choirboys, Church Queens, and Those Whose Sundays Stopped Too Soon” is a standout installation that confronts truths that the Black church has often refused to speak aloud. It is a sanctuary for men who carried the weight of worship on their backs while hiding the most vulnerable parts of themselves.

Major Announcement

Music has always been a part of my life, and I’ve decided to turn that passion into a new outlet for creativity and community.
​
I’m excited to share the soft launch of Mocha Man Music, a Houston-based record label, music publishing house, and artist management company.
​
I’m currently looking for artists who want to grow with a label that values development, fairness, and long-term vision. If you’re an artist looking for a label home or management support, I’d love to hear from you.
​
Our first release is an instrumental titled “X Minor,” that I produced. It’s the beginning of a catalog that will grow with intention and care.

You can follow the label on Instagram and TikTok​

We’re also forming an all-Black female alternative rock band. If you play guitar, bass, drums, or sing and want to make real music that moves people, join us.

Brandon J. Marks Is Building a Career on Sound, Story, and Intention Brandon J. Marks is a producer, songwriter, and genre-bending artist who approaches music as a language rather than a product.

Destiny’s Child by Candlelight The Candlelight concert at the Bell Tower offered a version of Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé’s music that felt more intimate than what most listeners are used to hearing. The room was filled with devoted fans who sang along gently, almost instinctively, as if the lyrics were part of their own personal history. Watching that happen deepened my own appreciation for the songs. Read Article Beauty and the Beast: The Musical Sitting in the Hobby Center watching this...
