The Sam Houston Memorial Museum & Republic of Texas Presidential Library announces new, free community events on the museum grounds this spring—the Sundown at Sam’s music series and General Sam Houston Day.
Sundown at Sam’s is a free live music series featuring local artists that will take place on April 20, May 4 and May 18 on the stage located on the museum grounds, next to the museum store. SHSU economics professor Darren Grant helped get this series started with museum director Derrick Birdsall and serves as musical director.
Sundown at Sam’s artist line-up will include Logan McCune followed by Jesse Wortham (Country/Americana and Blues/Gospel) on April 20, Gail Ryder followed by Mary-Charlotte Young (singer-songwriters) on May 4 and Tin Top Road (Bluegrass) on May 18.
Sponsored by Tomorrow’s Promise Montessori Schools and C.A.T. Café, the music series will kick off at 6:30 p.m. Visitors can bring their lawn chairs, blankets and snacks (no glass containers). Refreshments will also be available for purchase courtesy of C.A.T. Café.
General Sam Houston Day may sound familiar, as this one-day event is a revamped version of the museum’s previous Folk Festival.
