Some Drinks and Music at DiverseWorks

From Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground to Kaws and Kanye West, the connection between music and fine art is inextricable. Personally, I find few things more inspiring than listening to great music in galleries or museums. So I’m rather excited that the kind people over at DiverseWorks asked me to come play some records tomorrow. A bastion of arts and culture in Houston, DiverseWorks has fostered creative types across mediums for years. Come check out the exhibition, have a few drinks and shoot the shit with some talented artists, curators and all around good folks.

Here’s some more info from the press release.

Speaking at DiverseWorks

I was caught briefly on video speaking about the Bayou City Soul Project at DiverseWorks. Fortunately, you can’t see my ugly mug too well in the video but you can see a few nice promo photos of Houston soul musicians Bobo Mr Soul, The TSU Toronadoes as well as the Masters of Soul.
