Houston is a state-certified Music-Friendly City. Since the early 1900s, there has been an important music community developing in Houston. Houston is home to notable musicians, significant landmarks, recorded music moments and world class music venues.
In 2022, MOCA established the Houston Music Advisory Board to advance the local music industry. To learn more about the work supporting musicians and the music industry, including upcoming community events, industry resources and music history, visit houston-music.live.
And if you are a musician or music business professional, create a profile in the Houston Music Directory.
On the first day of summer, Houston joins cities around the globe to celebrate Make Music Day. To learn more and participate, visit Make Music Day.
Houston based musicians provide live music at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU), via Harmony in the Air, funded by the Houston Airport System.
