REMEMBER WHEN.....
🎸 Houston Music News Has Been Online Since 1993 – And We Never Left.

Post Text:
You remember us from the stands. From the clubs. From the racks at the record store.
We were there in print for nearly 40 years, covering the heart of Houston’s music scene.

What you might not know is…
We’ve been online since 1993 — and we never stopped.

While the internet flooded with trends, algorithms, and noise, we kept doing what we’ve always done:
✅ Supporting the local scene
✅ Covering real artists and real shows
✅ Giving a platform to musicians who matter

Now, we’re turning up the volume again. New stories, throwback archives, concert coverage, artist interviews — all just a click away.

Because Houston Music News isn’t gone.
It’s just been ahead of the curve since day one.
