Continental Club Houston

In the year 1999, then Austin Continental Club manager Pete Gordon and owner Steve Wertheimer partnered together with Houstonian Bob Schultz to expand the reach of the famous club 150 miles east of Austin into the rockin city of Houston, Texas. Houston's Main Street, south of downtown had gone neglected for many years but showed much potential in the old buildings lining the street. In a vintage 1920's drugstore they set out to rebuild a neighborhood around the new Club. Many of the Continental Club regular bands needed a new home in Houston and Continental Club Houston quickly became the go-to venue for all the great roots rock, rockabilly, gulf coast soul and rock n roll bands that tour through the southwest. Worldwide talent such as Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood, U2, Bobby Blue Bland, Nick Lowe, Dick Dale and Houston Legends Roy Head, Archie Bell. Barbara Lynn and Little Joe Washington plus many many more grace the stage.
