🎶💼 Blues & Business: Why Music Matters in Texas! 💼🎶

In Texas, music isn’t just entertainment—it’s big business! From legendary blues roots to today’s thriving live music scene, the industry fuels our economy, creates jobs, and brings communities together. 🎸🤝

The blues, born from resilience and storytelling, laid the foundation for so many genres we love today. It still drives tourism, fills local venues, and inspires artists across generations. 🌟

Supporting live music—means supporting:
✅ Local businesses
✅ Tourism & hospitality
✅ The heartbeat of Texas culture

How can YOU help keep this alive? 🎷🔥
📍Go visit Blues Alley right here in Navasota TX
📍Stop by our retailers and check out their music merch, historic vinyl's and more.
📍LIVE MUSIC: Support our live music venues all across Grimes County, attend those shows, and share their flyers inviting others to attend too!

Even if buying tickets, shopping music merch or spending that hard earned dollar isn't in your budget- just sharing advertisements and flyers, and following local artists, and music events/initiatives helps so much!

🎶💙 Blues music runs deep in Navasota! 💙🎶

Did you know Navasota is officially the Blues Capital of Texas? 🎸 From the legendary Mance Lipscomb, known as the “Songster,” to the soulful sounds that have echoed through our streets for generations—Blues music is in our blood. 🎤✨

The Blues started as a way to tell stories, share struggles, and celebrate life—and let’s be honest, we still need that today! 💥 Whether it’s heartbreak, joy, or just good vibes, Blues brings us together. 🎷🔥

FUN FACT ALERT1 Check out this cool bit of info!

In the small African American Longstreet Cemetery, off the beaten path in far northwest Montgomery County, lies the burial site of ALGERON TEXAS ALEXANDER, who many international blues historians consider the “Father of Texas Blues.” Texas Alexander’s biography, along with those of many other noted Texas Blues pioneers, can be found in Coy Prather’s book “Tombstone for Texas.” Alexander’s burial site is now marked with a Montgomery County historical marker. (See attached photos)



For those of you who are interested in early Texas Blues, its primitive roots, and its pioneers, you can attend Saturday’s Free presentation from acclaimed music historian COY PRATHER at the Conroe Library Genealogy Room on Saturday, July 12 from 11am to 1pm. Some of his recorded songs will be played, including the first recording of his primitive version of the House of the Rising Sun. (Flyer attached) Autographed copies of his book will be available for purchase that day.



The Genealogy Room is on the second floor of the Library, and the Library is located at 104 IH-45 in Conroe. https://countylibrary.org/business_detail_T2_R3.php
