Live music returns to Market Square Park this spring as Heritage Texas Properties presents The Houston Sound Concert Series. The series will feature five Friday evening performances, offering a variety of music from R&B to rock. 

“We are very proud to announce Heritage Texas Properties as the presenting sponsor of The Houston Sound concert series,” Angie Bertinot, director of marketing and communications for the Downtown District, said. “The independent real estate firm’s deep roots in the Houston community, and specifically downtown, make them an ideal partner and will help us bring a variety of live performances to Market Square Park for downtown visitors, residents and businesses to enjoy.”  

“As the 2011 sponsor of The Houston Sound concert series, we hope to help make the series bigger and better and, in turn, offer downtown residents and all Houstonians another reason to enjoy the city’s Historic District,” Robin Mueck, CEO and president of Heritage Texas Properties, said.

The Houston Sound Concert Series at Market Square Park begins on Friday, March 18 with performances scheduled for March 25, April 8, April 22 and May 6. The free concerts will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and feature performances by D.R.U.M, Patrice Pike Trio, MoTel Aviv, Sauce the Band and Beetle.

“Houston is among the most vibrant music communities in the world – it’s full of amazingly talented artists representing just about every music genre out there,” Dan Workman, president of SugarHill Studios, said. “The beauty of The Houston Sound is that the beat of the city is in constant evolution--combining tropical, hip hop, jazz, funk, rock, pop and classical music. Our 'no zoning' musical stylings give us trend-setting sounds that can only be heard in our amazing city.”

Additional supporters of the concert series include SugarHill Studios, Zen Film, Houston Downtown Management District, Niko Niko’s Market Square and KPFT.
