    Discovery Green presents Blues and Burgers.  Get out of the office and enjoy Houston in October!  Blues and Burgers every Wednesday in October at the Lake House at Discovery Green. We’ve asked the best bluesmen in Houston to play for you.

    Schedule:

    Wednesday, October 7:  Blues and Burgers with Texas Johnny Brown.  Texas Johnny Brown (pictured above) is one of the legendary figures of the American blues scene. Johnny began his musical career in Houston in the mid- 1940s and toured with Bobby "Blue" Bland and Junior Parker in the 1950s and 1960s. Since returning to music full-time in 1991, Johnny has won numerous awards and played across America and internationally.

    Wednesday, October 14:  Blues and Burgers with Milton Hopkins Band.  As the Houston Press explains it, “Milton Hopkins has played with Little Richard and Sam Cooke, among many others, spent a decade shoring up B.B. King’s licks and just happens to share a bloodline with H-Town blues Buddha Lightnin’ Hopkins (they’re cousins).”

    Wednesday, October 21: Blues and Burgers with  I.J. Gosey.  One of Houston’s premier bluesmen, I. J. Gosey was a session man for Peacock Records in the 50’s. I. J. Gosey’s 25 year long weekly gigs at C. Davis Barbecue made this one of Houston hottest blues spots.

    Wednesday, October 28:  Blues and Burgers with Little Joe Washington.  Little Joe Washington learned from the giants of Houston’s Third Ward blues scene -- Albert Collins, Lightnin' Hopkins, Joe Hughes, T-Bone Walker and Johnny “Clyde” Copeland.
