Rebirth In The Springtime: Checking Out In Bloom Fest 2018, Day One

Hello, SCR friends! It took a little while to get beyond the allergies, but now I’m ready to get started with my field report on Houston’s newest “big field fest,” In Bloom Music Festival. I’ll begin with Day One and then cover Day Two soon, along with some random thoughts and hopes for the future…

In Bloom Fest 2018 Rundown, Pt. 4: Birthday Club + Moon Taxi + Broods + Jax Jones

Well, here we are, friends. The inaugural In Bloom Music Festival unfurls tomorrow, Saturday, March 24th, at the ever-picturesque Eleanor Tinsley Park. Do me a favor, by the way, y’all: don’t just chuck your garbage anywhere, okay? Every festival I’ve been to over there has had plenty of trash bins spread throughout the grounds, and sometimes separate bins for recycling…

In Bloom Fest 2018 Rundown, Pt. 3: Young Bombs + London On Da Track + Craig Finn & The Uptown Controllers + LOUDPVCK + Dhani Harrison + Neil Frances + Highly Suspect + Mija

Argh. Sorry for the delay, folks — yesterday my computer decided this was a good time to implode, and I’ve been scrambling to get it back up and running since. We’re finally once again functional, so now we can get going on Part 3 of Space City Rock‘s randomly-selected rundowns…

In Bloom Fest 2018 Rundown, Pt. 2: Son Little + Ganja White Night + Grizzly Bear + Velveteen Echo + Wolf Alice + T-Pain + Lil Uzi Vert + Explosions in the Sky + Jerk

And here we are, back again, with Round Two of our inaugural bunch of previews/rundowns/whatevers for the musicians & bands playing at In Bloom Fest this coming weekend (Sat., March 24th, & Sun., March 25th). Before we get into it, though, I wanted to point to one thing that I saw…

In Bloom Fest 2018 Rundown, Pt. 1: 21 Savage + DRAM + Slander + Cigarettes After Sex + EL LAGO + Twin Shadow + Get A Life + H.E.R. + Beck

Hey, all — heading full-speed towards the first-ever In Bloom Music Fest, this coming Saturday & Sunday, March 24th & 25th over at Eleanor Tinsley Park, which also happens to be one of my absolute favorite places in this whole damn city…

Lip-Sync Your Way Onstage at In Bloom & Get the Official In Bloom App, Too

I know this is a bit on the late-notice side, but…well, what the hell. If you think your lip-sync game is strong (and I’m thinking here of Paul Rapp on The Jimmy Fallon Show), and you want the chance to jump up on stage and perform at the fast-approaching In Bloom Music Festival, hey, you’re in luck…

Shoots Coming Up: In Bloom Music Fest is Less Than Two Months Out

Alright, so by now you’d have to be pretty damn out-of-touch to not know that the much-loved/much-derided summertime Houston music festival known variously as FPSF, Free Press Summer Fest, or just Summerfest is no more. In its place (kind of) is In Bloom. The revamped/rebranded festival is now not in the summer (hence the “kind of”) but will instead be happening in the springtime, on Saturday & Sunday, March 24th & 25th, at the ever-awesome Eleanor Tinsley Park just west of Downtown…

FPSF No More: In Bloom Rises From the Ashes, and in the Freaking Springtime

Well…wow. I’ve been behind on Houston-related music news lately, it’s true, but out of all of it, this definitely takes the cake. We got word this morning that our city’s iconic nine-year-old music festival, alternately known as Free Press Summer Festival, FPSF, or Summerfest, is changing in a fairly big way…
