MUSIC HISTORY TIMELINE
As far back as the early 1900s, there has been an important music community developing in Houston.

Now looking back at over a century of local music, we kick off a timeline of some of Houston’s most significant music history. Browse through our gallery of some of the most notable moments in Houston music since music was commercially recorded in the 1920s.
